It’s the only post there at the moment, so it won’t take up much of anyone’s day. I can’t promise to blog about Boris often, but I’ll do what I can.

However he has done some things that I totally object to: for example going on an "apology tour" of Liverpool under Howard's orders when it was clear that Howard was waiting with a knife for him to return. Yes BJ should have won that award. I was simply reacting in the comments on the last post to what I perceived (rightly or wrongly) as a trend to ignore (rather than comment on) any articles which are critical. My own assessment of the Guardian article is that it is very weak. The DC "phenomenon" as such is new. Nobody missed a trick. I am a fan of BJ.
