Utterly certifiable, but he delivered. Top job.

I can't decide if the man's a buffoon or a genius.

After his first few HIGNFY appearances, I thought "buffoon". I'm now thinking that the buffoonery masks the genius.

I think he's just getting to grips with media appearance protocol. He's still got a long way to go before people take him seriously enough to accept him as a party leader/potential PM though!

Top rabble rouser if nothing else !

If anything, the buffoonery is masking the stupidity.

He's double bluffing - using eccentricity to make people think he's actually quite intelligent whereas, in fact, he's a twerp with little grip on political realities.

Having said that, I would love him to be the new Tory leader just for the mirth it will provide.

Do not be fooled - he has the worldly wisdom of a single cell organism.

...and, in respect of those who would cry "Evidence!", of course I have no factual basis for these comments but I do know a kn0bhead when I see one.

Dangerous is Boris. Trust him you shouldn't...

[Mr Nuts]

It shows just how dim the view of the prime minister must be if people want him out and boris in .

This is quite interesting. I read this a couple of days ago and can't remember if I found it through here or elsewhere so apologies if I'm posting same article again. It's my age, you know.

Nail and head: "...the gap between Johnson's invigorating brightness and Cameron's pessimistic realism".

People want to feel good about themselves and occasionally pointing out something to be optimistic about/proud of is needed, instead of this endless depressing pragmatism.

The unsung master in that article is Salmond who has been using optimism and pride as the centrepiece of his highly successful politicking for many years now. He's an ideological adjustment from being a landslide-winning Labour PM...

Years of practice looking in the mirror?

He is Brilliant

He isn't stupid

In April 2007 Johnson was called upon to resign by the MPs for the city of Portsmouth after claiming in a column for GQ that the city was "one of the most depressed towns in Southern England, a place that is arguably too full of drugs, obesity, underachievement and Labour MPs"

Standards are definitely slipping on this board.
