the wit and wisdom of Boris Johnson

[sheridanwilde]

And the mayoral race begins (I don't want him to be mayor, but I'm looking forward to more nuggets like the following in the campaign):

On Larry Vaughan, the fictional mayor of Amityville:
wonderful politician
The real hero of Jaws is the mayor... A gigantic fish is eating your constituents and he decides to keep the beach open. OK, in that

Aw, Boris. From a safe distance, this mayoral contest is going to be great fun to watch.

I'd vote for him on comedy principal. It would be like having a slightly less dithery Prince Philip in charge

I make no apologies for the fact that I am going to vote for Boris. He's the only viable alternative to Screaming Lord Such (God rest his soul).

[mr_targ]

Screaming Lord Sutch, that is...

boris johnson is living proof the tories are a bunch of inbred upperclass spastics - I hope not to jinx it now that I'm saying it, but perhaps he's just what London needs... to make sure Ken gets another term in office ;-)

(I don't even wanna entertain the thought that Londoners might vote for such a useless bag of shite, I REALLY hope I'm right or we'll have a BIG problem)

I'd rather have a useless bag of shite in power than someone who gets the wrong things done. (first thing that springs to mind is how much harder it is to travel around London in general).

Really? As far as I'm concerned it's easier now than it ever was before (outside of rush house, which I didn't need to do in London back before Ken was mayor).
