Who gets Tfl for Nought
Under injured war veterans free transit on London's transit, however the actual statement seems to contradict this saying that all veterans, regardless of injury get free transit in London. No idea what the duration of this move is nor when it comes into effect.
When Bush Met Boris
President Bush is coming to meet Boris. I hope the new mayor remembers his words at the same time:
The President is a cross-eyed Texan warmonger, unelected, inarticulate, who epitomises the arrogance of American foreign policy.
As Bush is coming to London on his farewell tour of Europe.
Boris Gives "Accidental Interviews"
From Times of London:
He said that he would be as accessible as possible “without driving you all nuts”. He implored journalists to stop calling his mobile phone because he kept giving accidental interviews “which get me into trouble”.
Dear, oh dear. Ok, free drinks to the first person who posts Boris' mobile number in the comments at the pub of your choice.
Boris says So long, Henley!
And especial thanks to those doughty few who came to campaign in London over the last few weeks — no doubt at least partly motivated by the hope of getting rid of me!
Aww... poor Boris. Feeling the sting of having gaffes broadcast around the world? Careful what you wish for, Henley, you may just get it!
How many Politicians have Blogs Dedicated to People Dreaming About Them?
At least one... this blog's favourite politician and future mayor of London, Boris Johnson. A reader who wishes to remain anonymous alerted me about I dream of Boris, a site dedicated to "Real dreams people have had about Boris Johnson". I'd like my readers to contribute some stories to it, as I know you lot are (at least) as big of a fan of Johnson as I am.
The Next President of the United States (I wish!)
Our favourite politician, Boris, on the right, snoozing. The gent on the left is the current mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.
How to Elect a President who Can Speak
This is a pipe dream of mine, but one that I see as a definite possibility. First, our mate Boris loses the London mayor election. Then, in Denver, there's no clear candidate. Boris realises that he is indeed eligible to stand for President of the US. He gleefully accepts the prospect of running the entire free world and wins the election in November. I wonder if his other admirers have considered the possibility. Boris, as leader of the Free world. I'd be happy, to say the least.
More Boris Press
This blog's favourite humourous British politician, Boris Johnson has been the subject of a feature article in Time magazine. A good introduction to what the next US President ought to be. Hey, he was born in NYC, so he qualifies. C'mon Boris, this country needs you.
