 Boris Johnson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (born 19 June 1964 in New York City, USA), better known as Boris Johnson (and occasionally as 'Bo-Jo' within the UK tabloid press) is a British Conservative politician, journalist and historian, with a distinctive scatty and eccentric public persona.
Johnson derided these allegations as "an inverted pyramid of piffle", but Michael Howard stated that he sacked Johnson because he believed press reports showed that Johnson had lied in this denial of the affair, rather than for the affair itself.
Johnson cultivates an image as an eccentric, straw-haired fop, disorganised and scatty (he once explained the lateness of his work by claiming that "Dark forces dragged me away from the keyboard, swirling forces of irresistible intensity and power").

 B. S. Johnson at the Complete Review
Johnson is too often seen as an experimentalist, and thus thought of as someone whose work is too hard to bother with (and, often, simply boring).
Johnson is also a very funny writer -- and it is not the kind of humour where the reader feels that s/he is being laughed at.
Certainly, Johnson is a writer's writer, carrying on about the art, popping up at the most unexpected places within the fictions, but these too should (or at least can) be seen as welcome asides and insights.

Stanley Johnson, his less famous father, said it was a "needle match".
If Johnson Sr, a poet, novelist, farmer, 1980s Tory MEP and, latterly, an environmentalist, succeeds it would also be a victory for a different era, when politicians were not robotic careerists but free-thinkers, not afraid to tell bad jokes.
