I can't believe Boris is mayor of London.

Fantastic mayor, best we've ever had.

you aint seen nothing yet,wait til the tories are in power and every single minister will be an ex etonian

ronald raygun was president

have a look at who is PM

Boris makes Gordon look like Einstein, Da Vinci, and Elvis rolled into one.

He didnt really have much opposition with Ken did he ? Pictured riding the tube this week without a fare and gets let off because of who he is. Says it all about Livingstone.

Boris has been a disater so far, had to sack about four of the people he appointed, had to face an enquiry over his contacting a tory mp under police investigation , a bufoon who will carry on dropping clangers

nearctic on a boris thread is like a tramp finding a pound in the street. Even though he lives 200 miles from London and has never been there, besides he likes his toffs from Fettes rather than Eton.

Worst analogy ever that, blackburn.

not really alf, I can picture his eyes lighting up as he rubs his thighs

been to london many times blackie, lived there for a few months once, its strange how you hate anybody from outside saying anything about boris, didn't you say once you don't even live in london yourself ?

well nearctic at least he is not afraid to sack people in contrast to Ken and labour in general who seem unwilling to ever sack anybody especially cronies.

as for the police investigation well boris was right to be angry and its pity Michael Martin wasn't as bothered about it

so the above ar hardly 'disasters' for London are they. In fact they are positvely healthy for democracy and good governance.

nothing wrong with sacking four people

trouble is boris was the one who appointed them

even more 'courageous ' then to actually sack them

don't think he had much choice

Brown really has no choice, but he is lumbered with people that he will not sack in case it is thought that he made a mistake in appointing them.

David Cameron and Boris Johnson are at war over Tory plans to tax the rich.

The Tory leader shocked many in his party last week when he backed a Labour plan for a new 45 per cent top rate of tax for people on £150,000-plus.


But London Mayor Mr Johnson slammed it as a "deterrent to enterprise" in a BBC Radio interview.

Mr Johnson said "clobbering the rich'" would be bad for business and the City would suffer.

His comments exposed a growing rift in the Tories, with Shadow Chancellor George Osborne insisting yesterday he had "never ruled out tax rises

labour has done that bad a job they will have to do something

nice to see boris is not ashamed of St Georges Day and will officially sanction mnay events on the day and in the week beforehand. unlike Ken Livingstone who only ever seemed interested in St Patricks Day and who made flippant comments about morris dancing when asked about St Georges Day --imagine the trouble caused if some politician had made flippant coments about St Patricks day regarding riverdancing or something

good on you boris -keep it up

english flag to be flown over city hall on st georges day jolly good show i say

Boris Johnson today revealed that he might not stand for a second term as Mayor.

In an exclusive interview with Evening Standard Editor Geordie Greig, he admitted he had not made up his mind about running for re-election. Mr Johnson said:

looks like he has had enough already

Boris Johnson's deputy mayor Ian Clement dramatically quit today amid claims that he lied about his expenses.

The Mayor accepted Mr Clement's resignation after

How many deputies does he want? He's held the office for such a short time and yet been througgh three deputies already - he won't win a second term.

Boris Johnson reveals the template of a Tory government

That,s today, go read it, it makes you realise why people humour him.

Maybe it's called leadership?

He gets his staff's expenses checked and forces anyone who does wrong to resign immediately.

Unlike our Prime Minister, who tried numerous times through various courts to get details suppressed - and then when his Chancellor is found to be on the take, does nothing about it.

The difference is stark.

he is a talented writer isnt he.
much better than the rubbish Gordon comes out with in the Guardian

any more gone today?

As opposed to that Commie twit who used to be?

David Cameron and Boris Johnson's relationship has reached "breaking point", it was claimed last night.

Tory chiefs infuriated Johnson by blocking plans for an underground link from East to West London and his proposal for a Thames floating airport.

The New Statesman said Cameron fears Johnson returning to the Commons for a leadership challenge

Always thought he was a prize pr1ck but the 1 minute interview he gives in this documentary i did think well said, you aint all that bad for a tory c u n t

The Londoners i know love him.

Bungling Boris Johnson has been forced to pull down an ugly wooden summer house he built on the balcony of his elegant historic home.

Angry neighbours phoned the council to complain, describing the wood and glass shelter as a

Johnson's folly.

i love boris hes doing a great job , hip hip hurrah

A tumultuous week for Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, continued yesterday when one of his former leading aides was charged with fraud.

Ian Clement, the former deputy mayor for external relations, will appear in court on Tuesday charged with five counts of abusing his expenses.

It caps a rough week for the Conservative administration in London.

Johnson and his handpicked head of policing came under fire for claiming they had seized control of the Metropolitan police. Kit Malthouse, the deputy mayor for policing, told the Guardian he and the mayor had "their hands on the tiller" of Scotland Yard, drawing a furious reaction from the Met commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson

they don't call them the con party for nothing, full of crooks

I WILL not start a thread entitled " I can,t believe it,s not butter".......

omg

Nice link Neartic - it's always good to see a politician who doesn't pretend to know everything, and frankly states his opinions on a wide range of subjects. I thought you were a Labour cheerleader?

Bet you he increases his vote at the next election-Londoners love him

I think Boris is a likeable bloke but people exactly like him were sitting around on the 2cnd of July 1916 saying ' lets give it another go today old boy 'The trouble with Public schoolboys is that they remain public schoolboys for life.

i bet londoners can't believe how much their transport costs are going up

boris showing how useless a cameron government will be

ANDREW MARR: Can I sort of move on from some of the specifics to what might be more difficult for you, which is a general perception that after eight years, if I can put it brutally, you've become a bit big for your boots, that you've become a little arrogant, that you've got this group of people around you, and because you have almost sort of unique personal power for a British politician it's just been too long?

KEN LIVINGSTONE: Well, I mean that's the line my opponents are running. It doesn't show up on our opinion poll ratings where, I mean, I've been consistently about, my satisfaction rating's about 20% ahead of my, I mean the dissatisfaction rating quite unusual for a politician after eight years in office. I mean this is the sort of thing you expect opponents to say because my opponents don't want to discuss the issues.



LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

The tories plan to make Boris Johnson "sheriff" of London as part of radical police reforms.

Home Secretary Alan Johnson warned against "creeping politicisation" of the Metropolitan Police.

He spoke out after the Standard revealed that the Mayor is in line to become David Cameron's first elected police commissioner if the Tories win next year's general election.

The minister said: "The idea that one of Boris's henchmen can call up the Commissioner of the Met every few hours to tell him how to run the police will fill people with dread."
