Boris Johnson

[TheOstrich]

Would you really want someone who says something like this as leader of the Tory Party, or head of your next Government?

He is a distateful buffoon. I'll be quite honest, I'd rather see Millipede in No.10 than Johnson.

Get this then. A punter makes distasteful remarks about a female MP and gets an 18 weeks jail sentence.

BoJo makes a few distasteful remarks about UKIP supporters and gets cheered at the Tory party conference.

A compare and contrast exercise speaks volumes.

[TheOstrich]

Quite!

How does he get away with it? He is not another Charles Fox.

He gets away with it because he is just about the only popular politician in the country.

And we might note that he is popular for Not being in Westminster...
