Clinton may be clumsy, but Boris obviously excels.

…if you can succeed in Renewing Britain you can lead the way to renewing a world sick to death of PC nanny state authoritarianism.

Remember the example of Thatcher and Reagan…from NZ, in hopeful expectation…

Judy, gentle irony I would say. We did get that! But as you point out, that article Heffer wrote was awful, and this is a very humorous, affectionate rejoinder. Screamingly funny, hardly unkind is it?

So the Mayor of London is endorsing as an MP asomebody who believes that Britain should withdraw from the European Union?

Such people are banned from the Mayor’s own Party front bench!

Goodness me. Boris lays on sarcasm and irony four inches thick and you still think he’s seriously advocating Heffer becoming an MP. Try googling the article Heffer wrote attacking Boris’ competence to become Mayor of London.

Simon Heffer would certainly stir things up but it would be like applying a stomach pump, when all that is needed is a dose of Enos Fruit Salts.

>Simon Heffer might be an entertaining journalist, but aren’t his views a little extreme for an MP?

Isn’t that better than anodyne MPs who always toe the line?

Changing subject slightly, I can’t abide Harriet Harman’s politics, but it was gutsy of her to face Jeremy Paxman last night. Harriet has jumped in and fielded for Labour recently in many expenses interviews.

Also, she has been taking fashion advice. She was wearing a lovely bronze fitted jacket in the interview, hair and makeup perfect. Like her or loathe her, She’s got brash man! I’ll give her that!
