Boris Johnson we are done for!

He didn't want the job after brexit why would he want it now?

Guard rails would've been enough to put anyone off from even thinking about it.

BoJo lies - Big Time.

He stood in front of TV cameras holding three bananas saying, we all know the EU makes us sell bunches of only two or three. The market trader round the corner couldn't believe his luck as journalists bought up his stock and were gleefully filmed holding bunches of 7/8/9 bananas. He lies, can't help himself.

Petronius16 - I didn't say the whole success of the Olympics was due to Boris. I said he was heavily involved in it - of course Tessa Jowell and Seb Coe and hundreds of other people also helped to make it very successful.

As for the railings, they were taken down in 2010 which was long before these awful attacks where vehicles are driven into pedestrians started happening. I am sure that if they could have foreseen these attacks they would have put up security railings so the attacks could not have happened. They decided to take them down after an Audit report on Safety deemed it would be safer for cyclists.

Transport for London have stated this week that they will continue to take Guardrail down and have quoted Guardrail is not designed to withstand vehicle impact. For this, specialist barriers are required. The programme will continue I am aware that if they had still been in place they quite possibly would have slowed the terrorists down. You can't prevent what you can't predict and to blame Boris for a decision taken in 2010 is, imo, unreasonable.

It would have been a lot easier for Boris to back the remain camp with DC and the government I really don't think "financial backing" had anything to do with it. There may have been a political incentive for him to do it but the point I was making is that he is known to be an election winner and whether you like him or lothe him that seems to be the case.

Olympics? And there was I thinking it was down to Tessa Jowell.

And didn't he take down the protective railings on London Bridge?

I think he knew the financial backing the Leave campaign was getting and climbed on the band wagon

Tears - I have to disagree I do not think he is a gimmick. He is highly intelligent. He puts on an act. You cannot deny his success. He also was heavily involved in our very successful Olympics.

IMO I do not think it would be a colossal mistake. I think he is the only one with a big enough personality to defeat Labour.

Whatever you say about Boris IMO he is a crowd puller, charismatic and a communicator.

You cannot deny that he won 2 Mayor of London elections and it is widely believed that the "Leave" result in the EU referendum was down to him being involved.

If boris became PM/party leader I wouldn't be voting Tory until he was gone. You cannot put a "gimmick" person as head. He is an idiot.
