More Boris

Posted in Dreaming of England, Meeja at 4:27 pm by Jon

Did I mention Boris Johnson’s recent inspired run of lunacy? I think I did.

More inspired Borisery:

Piece written for an Italian paper about the elections…

Il Sole 24 Ore, a financial paper

Boris says:

“Why not bung it on the blog to show I am alive?

Yesterday we all climbed Vesuvius!”

And now this charity football match escapade:

But the crowd’s favourite sounded a note of caution when he said his preparation for the match had been entirely mental. “I haven’t played since I was 18.”

After the final whistle, Boris, lager in hand, said: “There was no malice in my actions. I was going for the ball with my head, which I understand is a legitimate move.

Utterly magnicficent, and yet more evidence that Boris has simply wandered, confused, out of a P.G. Wodehouse novel.
