	Blog of Funk: Boris Johnson: Honest Conservative
		Boris has all the classic Tory credentials with one important exception - he simply isn't oily.
		Boris got himself into deep water by attributing the mawkish malaise he accurately described to the City of Liverpool, and then sunk the Johnson ship by mentioning Hillsborough, a football stadium tragedy in which policing errors caused 90+ people to be crushed to death.
		Boris was right to go and expose himself to their withering scorn.

	Boris Johnson slams videogames // GamesIndustry.biz
		In a recent opinion piece for The Telegraph, Johnson wrote, "Millions of seven to 15 year olds are hooked, especially boys, and it is time someone had the guts to stand up, cross the room and just say no to Nintendo.
		Johnson went on to quote figures stating that the number of computer games per household is higher for Britain than for any other EU country, and that 89 per cent of UK households with children own a console.
		Although Johnson is not a regular commentator on videogames, he is well known in Britain for his controversial opinions on a wide range of topics.

	Boris Johnson - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Boris Johnson is well known for being opposed to the holding of Birthday Partys in Iraq and the creation of Shepherds Pies, which were first introduced by the Pantry of Wales amid opposition of the Welsh Conservatives under his influence.
		Boris is also a talented footballer, appearing in a charity match (with white boots!) and successfully tackling a German, something Philip Neville has failed to do since 1997.
		Boris strongly denies having a child with Dan, and the appearance of a creature with a ridiculously large amount of blond hair and an incredibly chiselled jaw was simply a coincidence and said that “it’s a conceit”.

	Mirror.co.uk - News - Latest - Boris Johnson resigns as Spectator editor
		LONDON (Reuters) - Boris Johnson, the flamboyant editor of the Spectator magazine, resigned from the magazine on Friday after he was named as a member of new Conservative leader David Cameron's shadow ministerial team.
		Johnson, previously shadow arts minister, was sacked from that role on the Conservative front bench in November 2004 after allegations about his private life appeared in newspapers.
		The sacking came a month after Johnson was forced to apologise to the people of Liverpool after the magazine said its citizens had revelled in grief after the beheading of Iraq hostage Ken Bigley who came from the city.

	Books \| Charmed, I'm sure
		Ten days ago, I was asking Boris Johnson if he was going to be the next editor of the Daily Telegraph and he said: 'I think the possibility is so remote, it's more likely that I would be blinded by a champagne cork, decapitated by a Frisbee or locked in a disused fridge.
		Johnson says that's fine by him - he loves the Spectator, and he can combine it with being an MP, which he couldn't if he were editing a daily newspaper.
		Johnson is so larky, so ready to retract an opinion, or agree with criticism, that it is very difficult to sort out what he really believes.

		Boris replied that one of the best parts of being an MP was being able to make a difference; he asked the class how many of them would like to become an MP - it emerged that the majority of the class were more interested in becoming journalists!
		Boris was asked which of his jobs (journalist and MP) he prefers, his response was being an MP, without doubt.
		Boris has supported the College Amnesty International student group on several occasions and always replies to every letter in a personal way, which is much appreciated.

	Grilled, battered or fried: Boris Johnson’s arse on the line - On Line Opinion - 17/11/2004
		Boris Johnson has occasionally been called a Tory Adonis and he is dead sexy, although more typically lusted after in conservative circles as a bicycle riding Euro-sceptic.
		Johnson was astounded by the irreverence of the crowd’s response to requests for a minute’s silence in memory of Liverpool born Kenneth Bigley, who after televised pleas from his family for the British Government to intervene in his kidnapping, was tragically assassinated by Iraqi insurgents.
		Boris is tougher than he looks and he’ll survive to grow from learning the hard way that in this age of media’s supreme mastery of the art of public shaming, democratic debate is often the first casualty.

	BBC NEWS \| Magazine \| Happy birthday, Boris Johnson
		So, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is teetering on the edge of the Over-40s brigade - a time when slippers are donned and evenings don't come any better than a good sit down in front of a hearty fire, a canine friend by your side.
		Boris seems more suited than most to slip into this stereotypical role, a view he recently confirmed with the comment that he'd "performed the mental trick of turning 40 some time ago".
		Boris has long been teased about his many occupations - and he has certainly spread himself about in the past decade or so.

	Comment is free: I feel Boris Johnson's pain
		Poor Boris is still nursing some nasty bruises after ploughing into a party of tourists who marched in front of him while looking the other way.
		The careless pedestrian of whom I write was, of course, Boris Johnson, then the editor of the Spectator magazine, whose offices are a short shuffle from where our near-miss occurred.
		It's a shame Boris wasn't driving an SUV when he hit the tourists; it's also a shame Colin Richardson didn't have one when he had the opportunity to run the floppy-haired one down.

		Boris had an unfair advantage over us, he was always the story the media is interested in, and so we had our work cut out for us.
		The Boris Johnson fan club, we thought had an unfair advantage especially amongst the blue rinsed set, which followed this blond bombshell around like a pack of giggling teenage pop fans, awaiting the word of Boris as if he was some Guru, even a flick of his hair satisfied them.
		To the ‘Boris the spoils’, but is turned out not so for his Party, nor his father as the news came through that Boris Johnson father failed to follow his son into Parliament.

	Boris Johnson MP: Boris Johnson talks to Kirsty Wark

		Boris if you are to win over the rest of the country you must do better than this - at least know your own partys policies.
		Boris appeared to be as affable and intelligent as ever but not well-informed on a couple of key Tory policy issues.

		He's a bit scruffy, obviously, Johnson always is, but also as amiable as ever, standing around in the freezing Edinburgh night amid a gaggle of excited students who have taken it upon themselves to give the former editor of the Spectator a night on the tiles with a tour of the city's nightspots.
		Johnson has thrust himself into the role with typical aplomb, tackling the top-up fees issue, wading in on the number of foreign graduates in British universities and arranging to address the National Union of Students' national conference in Blackpool in the last weekend of March.

	Civitas: Boris Johnson should not have apologised
		What Boris was rightly attacking was the sentimental victimism, coupled with a righteous sense that they are in fact God's Chosen People fallen upon hard times, that pervades Liverpudlian popular culture.
		Regarding Paul Bigley, who has done nothing but use the whole affair as a stick to beat the government with and a vehicle for self publicity, Boris Johnson should not have been compelled to be publicly insulted by him.
		As for Boris Johnson, well he's had his 15 minutes of fame, but was it worth it.

	Boris Johnson and the Daily Telegraph \| Samizdata.net
		Mr Johnson is not a "lovely man" either - he cheats on his wife and then makes a little joke of it (in the hopes that he can get out of trouble).
		Cameron and Johnson are reckoned to have a certain eye-appeal which appears to be of greater value than intellectual rigour or honesty.
		I would not mind Boris Johnson and David Cameron being given good jobs on the grounds of their family and connections - as long as they did not pretend it was on merit (which they do).

		What Boris has since established is that there is no such thing as being 'too busy to blog' - and that an MP with the right staff can benefit from them operating as ambassador(s).
		Something else has come of the exercise; Boris had a less-than-pleasant end to his year in 2004, but the response he got on his website was incredibly supportive.
		In July 2005, Boris was shortlisted for the Elected Representative category in the New Statesmen New Media Awards.
