Boris Johnson is Mayor of London!!!

Fuck me sideways! Whatwhatwhaaat?! The man who looks like he escaped out of the window before his mother could straighten his tie and fix his wild Etonian mop of hair?! The chap whose election promises included making it 'easier to buy a BMW'.
Past Boris gems include referring to African children as 'piccaninnies' with 'watermelon smiles'...
Oh, this thing can explain it better than I can..if you don't know who Boris Johnson is and you don't know why it's so unnerving and bemusing that he is Mayor of London, go there and you'll get a fairly accurate sample of what we're in for! aaah!

You think you are fucked, okay straight up even trade Johnson for Bush. A president for a mayor what could be more fair? And because it is you I will at no extra cost give you Rudy Giuliani.

Limey needs to lay off the fucking bleach. Goddamn.

Oooooohhhh...i'll leave you with yours cheers, fair point!! I'll stick with the bumbling eccentric racist. Maybe i'll get a BMW...or at least find it easier to own a BMW, whatever that entails!

It is a loan with no income verification and a low up-front teaser rate, sorta like buying a house in the U.S. until last summer.

I did edit to offer you at no extra cost Rudy Giuliani.

Fascinating. There hasn't been much media coverage of Boris here yet, but from what I've read from the Guardian, he's a real showman.

He's a classic, straight out of Wodehouse.... if you go up to about a minute in on this, it's a nice little demonstration!!!

Boris on Have I Got News For You

What is he talking about? Bus wars!! That's what! I think...and... Oyster cards?

Proof that being blonde will win you an election.
Obama better go for the Simon Phoenix look

Isn't Mayor of London largely a meaningless position?

Is it me, or does he look like a stoned Super Saiyan?

It is, now.

+ super1 to Narghile and transport, economy and culture are fairly significant fields.

Don't forget security...

I think PointBlank was thinking of the Lord Mayor of London, which is a largely ceremonial role.

It is sad day that Boris is mayor. The man is a bumbling fool.

aaahhh, I see...
Ithink Boris' election proves the overwhelming majority in favour of comedy voting in England. I mean, Boris is funny, right?

How does it prove that? For a start, England didn't vote for him.

Imagine London sitting in a chamber full of cities, saying "I am the Senate!."

I mean, he's the mayor

Willie Brown forever!

to be fair only over 2million of London's 8 million population even turned up to vote

im glad i live just outside the city, he's not my mayor

christ and 69,000 people voted for the BNP

Thanks for the linkage, Queenie. I watched both in their entirety. Good stuff. "Major Goof"... you freaking Brits are too damn clever for your own good!

Do you ever feel intimidated on buses in London? Do poor people increase the threat level? Is this guy for real?

This will go down well in Liverpool. But that's OK, Tories know that London is the only city that counts.

He looks like the deaf dude from 5th element.

He looks like Gary Busey.

The BNP are the ones that are pretty much racist Nazis, right?

Yes.
