This is NOT a political post so please don't turn it into one

[SamuelWestsMistress]

But

AIBU to think Boris Johnson is bloody excellent! I find him hilarious and think every city needs a Boris?

Would the Boris For PM brigade please tell me 3 of his policies please.

OmG did he really say that about Liverpool and Hillsborough ?
Well I hope that is quoted all over the media after today's news.
at Tweasels.

Oh look, it says here that politician A has a rock solid plan to end all poverty, give the NHS a gazillion pounds, make people pay the right amount of tax, put loads of money into education and give those lovely children who worked really hard the C in English they deserved.........shall we vote for him?

No as that promise will be broken on day one as clearly impossible. Labour tried that and look at the mess we are in.

Surely that's what all politicians should be aiming for Ilovechocolate, whatever party they're from.

I take it you're not from Liverpool, OP?

YABU.

I wonder if he will apologise?

So, Ilovechocolate- Boris's policies?

Ilovecoffeeandchocolte. Do you also love Port and Cheese?

You've missed the point, but of course politicians from all parties make promises and fail to keep them. It is one thing having an ideal, but a totally different thing delivering it amongst other global difficulties.

Surely though, like ladybeagle says you would want those things?

Or maybe not.....maybe you are Michael Gove.....

Thankyou, Vag! You've made my day.

No wonder Dave was so enthusiastically on side in his statement today.

Lets see - Boris's policies

As a MP, Boris voted strongly for the Iraq war, Strongly against the Hunt ban.

Sounds like a stand up guy. Lets make him PM tomorrow.

In fact i wished id been there with a catapult to hand aimed squarely at his goolies when he was dangling from wire during his stoopid olympic stunt. Misogynistic fool.

Boris's policies for the last London election were to create jobs, more police on the streets, invest in businesses, reduce the mayor's share of council tax, stop the 3rd runway at Heathrow and cut city hall waste.

How's he doing with that? He certainly managed to turn London into a ghost town during the Olympics- was that on his agenda?

Funny, I can relate Boris to fluffy kittens all too easily :)

It's both frightening and depressing how people love Boris for his shambolic muppet act.

I'm sure we're only a few years away from a reality TV government where politicians and high court judges are elected in a Big Brother House scenario. Only the thickos who 'like Boris cos he's funny lol' will end up voting. And the British idiocracy will be fully realised.

Oh and scissors to cut that ridiculous scruffy "floppy" hair.

An aged little lord fauntleroy is a pathetic sight to behold.

I can't decide whether it's mor dangerous if people think he's stupid or if they think he's amiable. He is, of course, neither.

Oh yes, he's very clever manipulative man that's for sure.

I also thought his speech at the parade was really good and spot on for the event, not often have I heard a crowd chanting the name of a politician

Yep, Boris Johnson certainly got to reap the rewards of being Mayor during the Olympics. Did he mention in his speech at all that the reason the Olympics even made it to London was due in no small part to Ken Livingstone?

Try Boriswatch

They are his policies - has he managed to achieve them?

Sorry, can't be arsed to read the thread. I fail to grasp how a thread about how great a politician is will not stray into discussing politics

squoosh - OH yes, after these events a whole heap of people get the limelight who don't deserve it

i don't doubt Boris will be pm one day :( the thing that goes against him is himself one day we shall all tire of his act as many voting or who will vote for him or like him seem to have no idea of what his politics are
