I love Boris. I have also seen him living the life of a normal Londoner - on his bike, swearing in the bus queue when the tube broke down and no-one could get to work. At the park with his little Midwich Cuckoo blonde kids looking bored while he had to push them on the swings for hours. He also stood aside to let others get on the bus so I think he is genuinely courteous. I think Paxman likes him. They probably go for beers together.
Dimbles is a sprightly fellow isn't he? Could he be PM perhaps?
