He might disagree but he's a nasty peice of work...

'Boris Johnson was left writhing on live television as he was accused of lying over an alleged extra-marital affair, fabricating quotes and agreeing to help a friend with a plot to get someone beaten up.
Mr Johnson, widely considered a potential successor to David Cameron, looked distinctly uncomfortable as he was grilled about past misdemeanours on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.

This vid is missing from the article, but here it is...

From 7.40 or skip to 10mins in for the reeeeally nasty stuff.

So was Michael Foot ... just saying

Thats OK
around 70% may not even bother to vote
so you are not alone


Bloody Russell Brand telling all
to not vote

I stand by Shaun's earlier post re Boris Johnson......very likeable affable roguish buffoon. Good at comparing TV quiz shows, but PM and running the Country

Really.........that's our top statesman and diplomat, that's our representative on the World stage...???

Can't see it, he looks more like a whoopee cushion salesman than a high ranking cabinet minister.

On Radio 4

:joker::joker::joker:

I was only joking about Boris, you know, using 'artistic licence' for my 'poem' to make him more 'Busey-like' - I know that Boris is highly intelligent and I have been a fan of his for years and would also like to see him as the next PM.

As for Theresa May, well I think she may have the Edwina factor. In a Major way. :laugh:

yes. i agree with most things he says but encouraging political apathy is not one of them.

he said "if there was a party like SYRIZA in the uk, i would vote for them"

well, there is a new party that was formed in 2013 called 'Left Unity' which is linked to 'Party of the European Left' (led by Alex Tsipiras, leader of SYRIZA)

soooo awkward russell. you lost that one.

Aah I was almost excited, I thought he was going to say he wouldn't serve a 2nd term.

Typical that he makes a statement, a question then follows as to when he would actually stand down and then loads of questions with speculation go on and on in the media circus.

Anyway, Theresa May would in my view be even worse than Cameron, how this woman has remained Home Secretary though this parliament is a mystery to me.
She is probably the worst ever home secretary,just marginally worse than Jacqui Smith in the last govt:

Osborne, yeah elect him and have the Conservatives in the doldrums for likely decades.
Boris, would be funny to watch but he would make a betetr deputy than actual PM in my view.

For me however,if I was a Conservative supporter, I would like to see Michal Gove,he is a more concensus type politician and comes across as reasonable to debate with.

Hopefully wont serve a second either...

But these choices are horrific :o

I had a soft spot for boris at one point but no more
Osbourne is just a complete twat. His figures fiddling is to be admired, but besides that..I canrt see what he could bring...figure fiddling will only get you so far, the sheep wont believe you forever...
May :o Would be thatcher II IMO. No thanks

I know what a motley crew, just what you want in a statesman...someone as bent as a nine pound note :/
