They made a few quotes about Boris Johnson - and I really don’t think they understand the buffoon.

Boris is just Boris - he isn’t politically correct - he isn’t anything. He is a part of the UK conservative party, but even they fear him.

He is his own man - he is also the polar opposite to me politically, but I like him, I like him a lot. It is more the pity that there are not more of him in politics. He says it as it is - even when he is wrong you have to find him agreeable.

Of course with people like Boris they drop the clangers of all clangers - but you know that they were sincere when they do it. You can turn around to him and say how much of a div he was and he will accept that, no questions asked!

I congratulate him on his win - I only hope that he does, and doesn’t, take the victory to heart, if he did he wouldn’t be Boris any more.

Johnson’s first key test is likely to hinge on how he handles relations with China. As mayor, he will be expected to attend at least part of the Beijing Olympics, and his party will hope he is able to avoid offending the hosts.

“Chinese cultural influence is virtually nil, and unlikely to increase,” Johnson wrote in one of his several books on subjects ranging from sports cars to ancient Rome.

The thing is - he says what others are thinking!
