Blimey guv’ner, Fedexing sackcloth and ashes suit (XL?) from the Lot for your trip to scouserville. What we say is nobody’s perfect, and although we all agree 100% with your position, alas it’s time to eat crow. Word of advice. The people will love you of course – so ‘apologise’ to them – steer well clear of local council reps, skypilots, ‘officials’ etc etc. Oh, and don’t forget to remove your hubcaps and keep them safe under your bed.

Boris, please grab the party by the scruff of it’s neck and take power. MH has realised we are not going to win this election and is looking to the next, but we need somebody who is popular enough to get us elected. Concentrate on the party image and sort out the policy later.

Why are people criticising Boris for ‘not blogging properly’, and for being a ‘typical Tory’ in having Melissa post entries?
Surely the commentors on this site are smart enough to have realised that this isn’t a blog in the strictest sense of the term – but in fact more of a Boris-related-news update system?

Hello Boris and Melissa
Huddled around our small tv set – we watched our leader’s speech on Sky from our civilized ex pat community in the Lot valley. Fair doos. Not bad. Some nice touches. We’ll wait then, before signing a further ten year lease on the chateau. You should be aware though, that no sooner than MH had left the stage than those traitorous vermin at the BBC were pontificating on the NEXT leader! As we picked over our confit, none of us were impressed by the offerings. Still, down but not completely out. Have to curtail this blog as Richard from the village has turned up to report France Telecom has just erected a phone mast 3km to the south. In true French style we are breaking out the chain saws to immediately ‘resolve’ this matter. Not everything is bad in euroland. Bon chance. David

The issue of ‘phone masts is NOT small beer. No-one knows the effects of low level RF forces on the human body but I can tell you it’s not very sensible. At the very least this issue is symptomatic of Labours behaviour in government. That is to commit the country to a policy that is in complete disregard to the peoples needs and concerns. I can’t give you the details here but legislation means phone companies have no option BUT to saturate the country with masts and as the frequencies have already been sold (nice little earner for BT) can succesive governments really do anything to change it?
The electorate can’t help but wonder if any government would want to back pedal on a source of revenue. If Boris was leader I’d vote Tory and Fox is good. There are some fantastic PPC’s but where are they when the conference is over? I never hear mine! So far the darling of the conference is an engaging boy who spoke the bleedin’ obvious very loudly whilst banging his fist. With respect oh woop de doo. The woman before him using her dads business to illustrate a point was more intelligent, fresh and convincing. As have been many after. Are the conservative big chiefs just pushing GQ politics Boris? So far the policies raise as many questions as they seek to answer.

PS: A round of applause for Melissa please, for behind every succesful man is an intelligent woman orchestrating the whole shooting match.

Would the webmaster like to comment on why my posting in this thread, which I considered to be insightful and perspicacious, was deleted?
[Ed: yes, too acute for this site I'm afraid - but we welcome your comments; you might be a lot sharper and credible than we give you credit for]

Boris,Melissa,

Excellent article in The TG. Pleased that the Mast Issues raised by Richard Spring have been recognised.
If you want to represent opinions of the people of Green Lane and Greys Road, and if you need some bullets to fire at next weeks bash, let me know or get Melissa to email me. [Ed: done - thanks for tip]

For example: Kent County Council have forbidden the erection of Mobile Phone Masts on all Council Property in their County.

Boris,

Love the site, but more blogs from you that haven’t already been printed in the Telegraph would be great. Also, how about selling signed copies of your novel through the site? I’d buy one!

Come on Boris, stop being a lazy arse and put pen to paper. Typical Tory, getting someone else to do your hard work for you.

Keep up the good work.
