That should be changed to Pistonheads' Favourite Tory ...

The guy's a bit of a clown IMO who shouldn't really be left to walk the streets on his own ...

Be interested to see the odds on him becoming the next Tory leader - are there any cos he if he does (he won't) they can wave goodbye to Govt in the next decade.

Yaaaaaw!!! .....Well, As much as I like the bloke, very entertaining, and he IS a very charismatic figure. I seriously doubt that he is the right man to stand alongside statesmen of other countries.........................................although?

It wouldn't half be fun to watch wouldn't it!!

I see a diplomatic role for Boris. Say ambassador to China or the U.S.

I think it is about time for us to have a strong 'character' back in the lead. After all, look at Winston Churchill. Obviously I am not comparing Boris to Churchill, but as far as I am concerned, churchill was a right old character and equally abrasive as Boris, albeit in a slightly less 'eccentric' way.

He can't be worse than every other alternative can he?

But Churchill was unelectable both before and after the war. He was the right man at the right time but a crap peacetime politician really.

I wouldn't fall out with that cazzer, but I think there is more to Boris than is currently being attributed to him.
I like the bloke for his downright 'Britishness'which is a difficult thing to put your finger on....Probably something to do with being a bit eccentric, intelligent and not really giving a stuff about what others think, which I suppose can be a somewhat bad thing as a PM, but lets face it, can any politicians be trusted. I don't think they can that's for sure. Personally I would rather listen to a chap that does tend to tell it as it is than flowering it up with absolute nonsence and repeatedly ducking the questions.

Ah well, it won't happen but it's a thought.

Portillo - now he was another good one, not sure why he left but I was certain he would end up as the PM.

Isn't it a shame that the media will simply call him hin a 'posh toff' or similar and no-one will like him because he's well-spoken, intelligent and speaks an infinite deal of sense.
I suppose they'll have to get the bloke from the Big Brother voice-over (EET EE EMM) so the dumbed down masses will take them seriously

I think he said '8am. Brian is in the diary room'.

Oh, you mean Boris?

If only they had subtitles on B B. I’d probably understand WTF is going on.
Come to think of it subtitles on B J would be handy too.

You win a prize in a competition - a drink with either Portillo, Prescott or Brown.

You sure Portillo is so bad???!

Portaloo is the worst sort of opportunist scumbag politician, prepared to change his views on everything to make himself more appealing to the elctorate. A chameleon of the first order and totally unprincipled.
