It's not really been a new years resolution to be more angry, I just am

I cannot fkking believe there is a Facebook application to support Boris Johnson's London Mayoral campaign. I also cannot fkking believe people are taking Boris Johnson's campaign seriously.

What's he known for again? Oh yes, for being a bumbling fool. And for offending people. He doesnt seem to have any policies or beliefs, apart from vague racism. His performance at the Tory Party Conference was so bad even Arnold Schwarznegger, a man not known for being able to say long words, complained as to how bad he was. Yet for some reason the British public can't seem to distinguish between being well known and being well known for being an idiot. It's the step before Jade Goody getting elected for something.

Would anyone here actually vote for him? If so... why?

Get your Antlers on

While I do love Boris Johnson, it is for pure comedic value. When he visited our school I don't remember him really giving a straight answer to anything and I certainly couldn't have told you what any of his policies are (although I doubt he really has any considering being a Tory is enough to win you an election here...). Considering I haven't seen him do a lot in this constituency (although I suppose we're quite lucky insomuch as that not a huge amount needs to be done around here...) I wouldn't want him to be Major of London and having to be concerned with even more people. That said, I think he'd probably take that more seriously than Henley.

But yeah, he's always come accross as a decent enough bloke but I wouldn't want a 'decent enough bloke' being Major of London. I wouldn't vote for him anyway. But you never know... I'll reserve judgement until it happens (if it does, anyway)

Someone fell down the escalator in Westminster last year and broke their arm...blood everywhere etc.

All i can remember is 'Boris Drama Queen Johnson' complaining that he had to walk outside (risk seeing the public!) and use another entrance to get across from his office to the main building. What a wazzock.

I think it somewhat more likely that he was complaing about having to walk outside 3 months later while an extensive risk assesment was being carried out before the escalator could be used again by those who had recieved their escalator safety training.

And at least he's honest about the fact that it annoyed him.

I'm pretty sure that sort of thing only happens in Daily Mail readers' heads.

I disagree with that statement. It implies intelligence to the Daily Mail reader.

If the Tory's want to look better, they should get Boris a job as a public speaker... for the Labour Party.

The words "basic common sense", I've tended to find, are a warning sign that the next thing that's going to be said will quite probably be fairly simple, deeply reactionary and incredibly wrong.

Putting Boris Johnson and basic common sense in the same sentence has got to be an oxymoron of some sort. Unless 'has got no' appears inbetween.

I think the fact that no matter how hard I try the only thing I can remember about his obligatory school visit is that he spilt his glass of water all over the table says enough really...

You've clearly never worked in an office for a large company.

As for Boris...not really a politician. Just a carefully crafted image that some people happen to relate to. Whilst i'd prefer anyone, including Boris, to Red Ken being MoL, it won't happen, so people should stop getting their manpants in a twist.

Correct.

Boris Johnson, behind his bumbling idiot facade, is a deeply unpleasant and prejudiced old Etonian with a 50s-throwback mentality. Even Livingstone is preferable, despite being a slimy little sh*tbag.

I'd happily see him Mayor of Liverpool though.

Boris Johnson is hilarious but I thought it was clear to everyone ever that he's the worst politician ever.

It's not though, that's my main point. It should be, but he still seems to be taken seriously. Presumably for being a big name, but the right-wing and the young don't seem to realise he's a big name for being an idiot.
