    he has got a serious side afterall !!! booting out the MET chief was great !!!
  • The unremitting humour of your posts Ben are superb - laugh out loud stuff - absolutely classic material.
    This is the best chancellor presumably who steers us so expertly whilst things appear to be going well yet as soon as the proverbial hits its nothing to do with him its unprecedented global events (and lumbers his stunt badger with the blame no doubt) - mmmmmmmm.
    So whilst being the 'best chancellor ever ever ever' - the last decade he has had no influence on financial system and probity of this country ?

    He's an unelected sham of a pm heading for defeat when he is eventually forced to face a vote (not that the opposition will offer much more)

    Boris for pm - why not - couldn't be worse

    Sir at the hands of sounding disrespectful, Mr Johnson made it quite clear at the Olympic games with his hands in his pockets that he is most certainly down to earth like the rest of us, nothing false,no crap, just straight forward how it is..go go Boris

    ...................................Are you ACTUALLY writing these words? *blink* yes. There is actually a genuine noob who is more simple minded than Boris himself.

    What i do find funny on here is the fact that some like to have a laugh at Boris expense, but yet he got voted in as London Mayor, are people now saying that the voters are laughable as well..

    Now lets think is it Gordon Brown made the poor pay more tax, then when the !!!! hit the fan he U turned, Darling then said we cant possibly go back to the original ways as it would cost us millions, then hey presto billions is ploughed in to the Banking industry and hundreds of millions are spent on a war that doesn't even concern us..

    This statement is an indication of how much credit should be put on your words.

    I still haven't seen a single credible alternative suggested by anyone, and remember Boris is not an option!

    How about you try that instead of resorting to muffled insults.

    Funny how many people think he's a buffoon, when actually he is very well educated and read. Just because he chooses to have this self-effacing demeanour doesn't mean he's thick - he's far from it.

    He'll certainly be good for London.

    Looking at the Mayor vote count Boris certainly is no fool and 1,168,738 votes goes to prove it..
    If gordon Brown had a vote for Confidence in him, do you think that he would come any where near the same amount in the area where these votes took place???

    Boris is not his own man, david Cameron is pulling his strings. Sad for Londoners

    That's politics, still the removal of Ian Blair, by whatever method was surely a good thing, he should have been forced out over the appalling tragedy at Stockwell Tube. Anyone with a shed of decency would have surrendered his post immediately.
