I like Boris very much. He reminds me of someone I know who is not afraid to speak his mind.
Is the phrase "a mendacious sack of toff shit" too good for him?

Three unusable water cannon bought by Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London have been sold for scrap, at a net loss of more than £300,000.
Johnson bought the crowd-control vehicles from the German police in 2014, in anticipation of social unrest, without checking whether they could be used on London’s streets. In one of his most humiliating episodes as mayor the then home secretary Theresa May banned them from use anywhere in England and Wales. It left the capital’s taxpayers with three expensive white elephants.

The current mayor, Sadiq Khan, pledged to claw back as much money as possible on the redundant vehicles by selling them. But after almost two years the mayor’s office admitted defeat in its attempt to find a reputable buyer.
It announced on Monday that it has agreed to sell the vehicles for just £11,025 to Reclamations Ollerton, a scrap metal yard in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
The fee recoups 3.4% of the £322,834.71 spent on the vehicles since 2014.

****ing idiot.
He is an untrustworthy fool.
Twunt sums him up nicely.
In the absence of an option for "Fat selfish moronic talentless tosspot", I have PLUMPED (pun intended) for "Twunt".
But wasn't he just HILARIOUS when he rugby tackled that GERMAN at Wembley in that lovely charity football game?
He apes Thatcher yet seeks to destroy the Single Market she helped to create. He tells us the NHS should be properly funded whilst supporting tax cuts. And all the while a British woman languishes in an Iranian jail because he couldn't take 10 minutes to read his case notes.
Self serving faux buffoon
Indeed. But you are wasting your time on here with all the commie tree huggers on here. What sort of city votes for a green MP? The best MP since Maggie.
If the media spread the message that he is popular many will believe it. Perception is unfortunately very often the realityThe reason I started this thread, was, I keep seeing in the media how popular Johnson is with the man on the street, but, perhaps I talk to the wrong people, hardly anyone I speak to likes him, or even rates him as a serious politician. Some find him amusing, and some like his personality, but they appear to be very few and far between.
I was curious what NSC made of him.
(I voted Twunt,btw)
Johnson appears to divide opinion, a real Marmite figure.
So, whats your opinion of him?
****
