I bet the blue rinse mongies were out in force to vote for him because he's 'funny'.

He will have to get some very clever people working for because he's a buffoon and his bound to put his foot in it and insult somebody

To be fair, he was spot on about the scousers.
Nor anybody with half a brain.You won't find HF agreeing on that one. :icon_conf
Nor anybody with half a brain.
In 2004, Boris Johnson was ordered by the then Tory leader Michael Howard to go to Liverpool and apologise for an article in The Spectator which accused the city of "wallowing" in its "victim status".
He said Liverpudlians made a scapegoat of police in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster, refusing to acknowledge the part played "by drunken fans at the back of the crowd who mindlessly tried to fight their way into the ground".
The article, on 16 October, said people in Liverpool "cannot accept that they might have made any contribution to their misfortunes, but seek rather to blame someone else for it, thereby deepening their sense of shared tribal grievance about the rest of society".
some of the British love a buffoon

But every City also has a stereotype, I think it's humerous and acceptable to make fun of that. But the scouse Stereotype is humour, not self pity. Johnson was just plain insultingNo more than I would if he'd had slated Glaswegians,Mancs,Brummies,Geordies,Cockneys etc etc.To lump all people together from one City is ridiculous.Every city has its good and its bad,dare I say even Leicester has its share of wankers
