Rumplestiltskin Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 On a similar yet entirely unrelated note, he campaigned to become chancellor of my university. SO SO SO glad that people had the intelligence to look beyond his apparently "quirky" personality and realise that his policies were complete bullshit and would have cost the average student about 2 grand extra per year in top up fees (which we don't have up in Scotland), which he claimed would improve the standard of education we recieved. It terrifies me to think some people were stupid enough to vote for him (quote) "because he had funny hair". Were the majority of London's population taken in by the seductive power of his leonine mane, or do they actually believe he'll do a good job?

TomR Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Don;t see a problem with Boris, ok hes well known for his comedy attitude but it's always overshadowed his politics, I think he's got a great chance to prove to everyone how good he is.He says what he thinks which is rare, and will probably get cracking on what he knows and thinks needs doing, not what is the current fad of the year to win people over.A lot of people relate to him as he comes across as 'normal' (i use that in the loosest sense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 ... or because they wanted to stick it to the man Gordon Brown?Bingo.People only voted for him because they are so pissed off with Labour, as evident with the polls.3rd place, ouch...
