Boris Johnson Mayor Application

July 29, 2007

Boris Mayor application formIn an outstanding journalistic coup, The Telegraph has acquired a copy of Boris’s Mayoral application form. As you can imagine, it’s not a boring dirge of sycophancy – in the “Challenge’s faced” section, he writes:
“1. Trying to help raise 4 children in inner London. Outcome too early to call, but looking promising.
2. Taking on Blair and Campbell in the battle of Black Rod’s Memorandum on the Queen Mother’s lying-in-state. Outcome: Total victory.
3. Negotiating Hyde Park Corner by bicycle. Outcome: survival.”

Read more in their article – or here’s the direct link to the filled-in application form (PDF)

Boris official site down…

July 23, 2007

So, what’s up with the Boris Johnson site, Boriswatch wondered. One minute it’s up, then it’s down. Then it’s up. And down. Boriswatch decided to ask the hosters what was wrong.
Boris Johnson’s official site has always been a tough gig to manage, it seems. The hosting company have reported around 10 Denial-Of-Service attacks a year, and just when a new server is found in Gloucestershire to cope with the new Mayor-based traffic, along comes the great floods and causes communication issues. Hence a blank website today.
It seems that while Boris is possibly the most popular politician on the planet, there are plenty of geeks and rainclouds out there trying to stop him…!
