Maybe by 2012 comedy will be an Olympic sport then Britain will win a gold. This guy is brilliant!

**Anne x** · 24-Aug-08, 20:44

Sorry to disagree I thought he was a Star jacket undone or whatever the only man there to sort the olympic flag when the Mayor of Bejing accepted it is was shocking all curled up then the OIC president handed it to Boris he unfurled it properly and waved it like it should be

At the handover party live on sky news he was in indeed the star er that be apart from our rather odd PM

Alex Ferguson eh team GB football team all very exclusive of course not !!! a well done team managed performance

And the ping pong bring back to G B was Hilarious be it waff waff !!!

we are a very diverse and eccentric nation so why not have one of our own on the world stage ie eccentric

Boris he was brilliant.

**wifie** · 24-Aug-08, 22:16

Yep have to say I quite like Boris too!

**Melancholy Man** · 24-Aug-08, 22:22

Not as funny as this chap.

I was thinking exactly the same thing myself. He would certainly cheer the nation up. I'll bet if he was Tory party leader their poll ratings would get a boost.

I think he's just what politics needs. I too thought he was brilliant.

**Kevin Milkins** · 24-Aug-08, 23:26

If I had to be locked in a room with a politician with a view to having to listen to him give me a sales pitch, Boris would be my man.

Well, its currently 10 - 1 against you golach. Maybe you need to get out a bit more.

**scorrie** · 24-Aug-08, 23:55

Fantastic stuff:- "Ping Pong's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming home"

Gordon Campbell, without the vital lack of the minimum 10% sanity rating.

Gordon Brown was like your boring old fart of a Granda by comparison. Predictable stuff and it has little relevance, as he will be signing the sausage by 2012.

Cheap shot, I was not on a point scoring exercise, just asking an opinion, and stating mine, who cares what the final result is as long as it creates debate.

I like that Lembit Opek as well, (proberbly spelt wrong ). Most of us have been brought up to follow our parents politics and mine ,as an ex coal miner was labour.
As I have got older I seem to care not what party is saying what ,but who is interesting and captivating when they speak regardless of there party.

**Welcomefamily** · 25-Aug-08, 08:11

shame about the picture behind him.

**jay** · 25-Aug-08, 12:14

I have to say I quite like Boris Johnson, however i thought he looked totally out of place at the olympic closing ceremony - his suit looked like it didn't fit and to walk down the red carpet with his hands in his pockets was ridiculous.

Actually i thought the whole 8 minutes of selling London 2012 was pretty naff - Leona Lewis murdered her song, the frock was silly, the sound quality was terrible and you could barely see Beckham as he was wearing black. Jimmy Page was excellent tho!

Let's hope they get it better for the actual event.

**_Ju_** · 25-Aug-08, 12:25

He is funny and not to be taken too seriously. Because of that I would be very worried at the possibility, however remote, of him becoming PM.

**joxville** · 25-Aug-08, 12:35

As other's have said, Boris is the fresh air that politics need. If he was Tory leader I may even vote for them for first time ever.

However, what concerned me more is the use of hindley's,(small 'h' deliberate),image to promote Visit London.

Don't want him for PM but he is hilarious!! Good to see someone just promoting the Olympics and not their own political brand.

Did anyone see him on that BBC programme, trace your family tree thingy? Can't remember the name of it (senior moment). He was really entertaining and is apparently related to half of European royalty: unsurprising given the state of his chin

George the II was his great great great great great great great great great great grandad, or something. Not sure about the number of greats. Unofficially though. His response was really funny.

Couldn't stand him a few years ago but he seems to be improving with age. Let's hope the same goes for the rest of us, eh?
