Boris Johnson's Blog

Get in! Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson has a blog.

Boris reporting for duty

Hi folks, this is Boris Johnson here. Welcome to my blogsite, where I hope to be blogging for some time to come. You may ask yourself why on earth I am filling the electronic ether with yet more of my stuff, given that I can already be discovered in the pages of the Henley Standard, Daily Telegraph, Spectator etc.

It is a damn good question.

The answer is that very persuasive man called Tim has recently been to my office in the Commons. He told me that blogging is the future. He spoke of the online community, and its rapid expansion. He said that newspapers were outmoded.

He spoke of a new kind of politics. He waved his hands and rolled his eyes. So I have acceded to his advice, and begun to blog.

Tim tells me that the idea is that I fall out of bed every morning, blazing with inspiration, and thunder out 3000 words on the issue of the hour, so generating a pandemic internet controversy. I am not sure, frankly, that I will manage that. But I hope that there will be some other bloggers out there who may feel moved to give me some advice - not least on the funding of the Arts, to which I am now devoting my meditations.

Must blog off for the time being.

For those who know little about Boris, there's a good Observer article about his new novel "72 Virgins". (Or should that be 72 raisins?)

In his salad days, when up at Oxford, Boris Johnson took it upon himself to put on a play loosely based on the scribblings of the Roman historian Suetonius. Only, a typical Johnson wheeze this, the youthful classicist decided to give the venerable work a Dadaist slant, producing a culture clash that bitterly divided his three-strong audience

Great news. I have long thought that Boris Johnson should have his own TV Show, if not his own channel. This will have to do in the meantime.
You just can't lose with Boris; he is a genuinely amusing fellow, but even when he dosn't try to the man is hilarious.

Two Scouse lads working away from home and one was writing a letter home and he said to his mate "Er wack er ow do ya spell darrel?" and his mate asked him why and he said "Cos I'm writing to my mam, please send me a pair of boots darrel fit. and his mate said "Yer daft divvy it's not darrel fit it's wottel fit."

Boris Johnson adds a whole new dimension to the conservatives; he is infinitely superior to michael howard.
Rock on Boris.

Doesnt that sound polite of me eh?... Anyway God knows you make me laugh and God knows Im hoping you make the country wake up. Your diatribes on personal liberty and nanny state ideas are simply surperb... God only knows I've been a Labour supporter for many years... but secretly always held a candle for you as Prime minister... Keep rocking you old buggar... Actually youre not that old are you?... Ok then, dont buggar off then hey?...

Boris,
Congratulations on your recent article about the scandalous British Airways policy of forbidding men to sit next to children on aircraft. It's high time we tackled this PC/feminist nonsense head-on. I linked to your article on my website, http://www.mens-links.net. Please take a look. Further contributions welcome. I am hoping that the newly-revivified conservative party is going to speak up for men, fathers and the family. The rational wing of the men's movement would welcome your involvement.
Best regards,
Heretic

For anyone who appreciates Boris and his jocular bumbling style, his mop haircut and his eccentric approach to public life and believes that this man can bring London deliverance from Red Ken, join this Facebook group....

SIR,
CONGRATULATIONS on "MAYOR"hood . . . and THANK YOU for your brilliant audacity, your self-sacrifice (really and truly) on the behalf of so many of us . . . even if I live in Edinburgh!!!

You have made our lives fun, joyous, yet we are aware of your total brilliance.

If anyone dares to criticize you on TV in future I shall throw a very hard shoe - or words that my Convent training never taught me . . . so I`m not quite sure what they are . . . but my shrieks will indicate the meaning of. . .!

Dear Sir, we love you and THANK YOU111
