      So, Bozza, another 4 years or so in pointless opposition to a party whose policies are so close to your own that only the most perspicacious of us can tell the difference. And a vastly inflated MPs salary for it as well to boot. Things couldn’t have worked out much better for you, could they?
      What do plan to do with all the spare time?

        this election proves its hard to vote for someone you dont like on a personal level. People like you Boris. Time to step up to the plate.

          As a young woman, from Liverpool nonetheless, I have to offer you my congratulations, sir.

          I also must tell you of the pressure group that myself, and my other female friends are on the verge of forming, which aims to install you as the next leader of the Conservative party. It’s the only way forward, sir. The support you have amongst the student voters is phenomenal, sir.

            Hey Vicus, I’ll bid for Boris – he’ll do if he can handle a spade! Got no money though Boris, plenty of champagne in the cupboard but no money.

              Nice result Boris, shame that Labour didn’t get kicked to kingdom come but still, a small majority is bound to help a bit, your Telegraph artlice did certainly get me out to vote Conservative, it reminded me once more exactly what your great party should, and does for the most part stand for.
              Three cheers for Boris!

Besides, I don’t want to lose him as my MP…he’s the first one i’ve come across that actually does things for his constituency and constituents!

                                  Money tends to be more persuasive than sentiment. On one major betting site Boris is over 100 to 1. Enough said.

                                    There are forks in the road of history where men such as you stand up to be counted. Now in the face of adversity, rise up and seize the mantle of glory that is your destiny.

                                    Besides it would be a great change to be able to see a party leader that increased turnout rather than reduced it.

                                      Well done Boris! Bad hair day, but a good result none the less.

                                      I read in the Sunday Telegraph that if a majority of UKIP votes had gone to the Conservatives they’d have won 36 more seats and obliterated all but 2 of the Lib Dem Gains.

                                      How frustrating. Those bumbling UKIP arseholes putting their own vanity ahead of the cause they claim to be fighting for. They’ve only just gone and helped a bunch of ultra zealous Europhiles into Parliament!

                                      The highlight of the night was the defeat of Oona King. Yes Galloway is a tosser, but Oona King was herself a despicable politician who, let us not forget, said of America : “It’s a f***ing f***ed-up power man, it’s a fundamentalist Christian power if we’re not careful. It’s terrifying”

                                      …and in a Guardian article compared Palestinians in Gaza to Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. This woman was in the Labour party, which is surely even more worrying in some respects than the Galloway phenomenon.

                                      As for the leadership, it’s got to be Davis. Come on, the guy used to be in the SAS! He’d go down brilliantly with the working class. Unlike some of the posh twats who are currently lining up. Davis has the same kind of aggressive demeanour as Margaret Thatcher.

                                      Whatever happens they’d better not submit to the liberal media and select a ‘modernizer’, ie a liberal (David Cameron, Ken Clarke

                                        Aaron…NOT president of UK, GALACTIC president! (I checked the Queen’s full title, The Galaxy isn’t included in her domain!). Pay attention, there’s a good man! LOL ;o)

                                        But seriously, I doubt that the older Conservative supporters would accept Boris – yet…which will be their loss. On the bright side, they are a dying breed – so maybe in another 4 or 5 years we will see Boris as Party Leader and, hopefully, PM.

                                        Forward into the Future!

                                            This grinning imbecile who has mysteriously been elected with a large majority despite fewer English votes going his way than the ours, has to be wheedled out. Granted he’ll be fish & chip wrapping before Christmas next year, but blair must go sooner rather than later, so that the electorate has the maximum time possible to see exactly how much further Prudence Brown wants to get his hands into our already tretched pockets.

                                            On a lighter note, I’m checking out the formalities of renamimg our two sons, as Boris, and Boris, but without the wife finding out. She’s a bit to the left unfortunately.

                                                  He promised he’d listen: once more he has lied

                                                      Boris for Leader, never mind the Front Bench.

                                                      People *like* him. Despite the “bumbling oaf” persona (how much of this is quite deliberate I wonder ?) he’s obviously highly intelligent.

                                                      Unlike Bliar, he doesn’t pretend to be something he’s not (hey I’m a man of the people – hahahaha) and he says and does what he thinks is right.

                                                      Is there no place in modern politics for such a man ?

                                                      I think the Tories are mental to have got rid of Boris in the first place.

                                                      Let’s face it, the scouser chavs aren’t going to vote Tory unless you stick a gun under their nose (what a tempting idea !). And he was *RIGHT* about it.

                                                      Liverpool’s cretinous emotional response to the doubtless unpleasant death of someone who once lived there was laughable.

You’re the only person in the Tory party with universal appeal, everyone regards you with affection. Imagine the upsurge of Tory voters among the you with you at the helm! Come on Boris, I can think of nobody better to counter the sinister consipiracy of Nu-Labour.
