News in, Boris wins

I wonder if Ken has been on the blower to uncle Bob Mugabe looking for tactics.

Very funny!

But Boris is anything but dumb, he's probably smarter than all of us. He received the King's Scholarship to Eton and went on to read classics at Oxford.

And of course because he went to Eton on a scholarship he wasn't technically privileged. This has been somehow lost on the left wingers.

Whether his parents were well to do or poor as church mice is immaterial. He earned his own place at Eton.

Should be interesting how he gets on. All of his decriers have clearly never read his books; he's a shrewd political operator. It seems just because he's got a sense of humour he's lambasted as a buffoon. Good luck to him; hopefully he will deliver better value for money for London.
