Well yes but Boris refuses to be interviewed by the likes of Tim

were woeful and as for the new Policing arrangements well they are
beyond a joke even allowing for some inexperience on that part of the
Deputy Mayor for Policing, Mr Greenhalgh.


Can't say I'm surprised. Boris being major is all about Boris, not london
and behind all that what-ho jolly japes bluster is a calculating but lazy
politician with a rather thin skin. I suppose we have to be thankful that
the position of major hasn't given him or livingston enough power to do any
serious damage.

"Major" Boris? Actually, I believe that Boris isn't as lazy as he seems,
but he's also not a details man.
