boris

boris (no not the japanese band) is back.
he has quit the spectator (probably no one left there to shag) and is now joining cameron's shadow cabinet.
politics has become fun again.

i remember boris johnson giving a speech during the hutton enquiry (or was it the butler one) and he was superb. we are so used to the genial buffoonery of the man that it is a bit of a shock to discover that he can actually give a good speech with little or no deviation or stumbling.

my favourite boris story is of how he nearly got arrested in a large bookshop when it was thought he was stealing magazines when in fact what he was doing was repositioning the copies of the spectator that they had on display.
closely followed by his "apology" to liverpool that went along the lines of "i have been told to come and say sorry, you all know i don't mean it (because i was right) and in doing it i have made micheal howard look even more of a tit...."

i like boris. it is good to have him back.
now with archer back on the scene all they really need is to get portillo on side and they might have a chance.
a very slim one, but it is a chance.

welcome back boris

He's even larger in real life. Him and his family squatted down next to us in the airport a few years ago. Couldn't remember his name so sent C. to look it up in WHSmiths. They're all shockingly blond.

I always did love Boris Yeltsin and its great he's signed up for the Tory party, is he going to do a sort of Glasnost/Right wing thing?

Will they employ a translater in the house of commons?

Will Tories call him comrade?

Will he have a personal combat tank?
