    He should have stuck to tv where he was outstanding. This last week alone has demontrated his unsuitability for public office, he's a competent entertainer an incompetent politician.

    So, what is unusual about incompetent politicians....Apart from Vince Cable, it would be a struggle to find an exception...

    I like the guy, he's genuinely funny, and I don't mind him when he's bumbling about and making gaffes.

    But what he knows about finance beyond the tax situation of inherited wealth I'm not sure...

    Many thanks, but in the current situation that we are in, can you truly say that our current P.M. has any more vision????

    He isn't perfect.

    But what leads you to the conclusion that Boris is the right man for the job?

    Gordon Brown has been the most successful chancelor in my lifetime and I've seen a few, he is about the only person in the country able to weather the curent golbal financial storm.

    Whereas Boris is a bumbling buffoon who chose politics instead of entertainment where he belongs.
