The balding man in a tracksuit who shouted, ‘Never mind the bollocks Boris,’ probably made the most accurate observation on the furore in Liverpool, heard there yesterday. Editor of the Spectator, Boris Johnson MP, was ordered to spend time in the pillory, by Tory leader Michael Howard, fearful that the city’s clannish tendency would wipe out his party at the next election. The lesson of collapsing circulation for the Sun, has not been lost on Howard, so Johnson was dispatched to do his penance.
Sack cloth and ashes for Boris? Not really, only the public humiliation of being abused live on local radio, by the brother of dead hostage, Paul Bigley, and other opportunistic hyenas. ‘You don’t even look right,’ ‘Get out of public life,’ said Bigley, demonstrating the depth of the case against the errant Tory.
Johnson stood by the main thrust of the article and so he should. It was the truth - not that the city allows much of that to get in its way.

haha, if only the stocks were still around. I'm not too up on British politics but all these beheadings and kidnapped aid workers don't seem to be making much of a difference on foreign policy. It would have to completely shut down and start over to meet requests. The whole anti-terrorist train looks like cold-hearted fools and liars as they should for pissing on the most of the world. I liked when fathers-4-justice got someone to invade Buckingham palace dressed up as batman. That's the kind of terrorism I like. Anywho, good to see you can be an arse and do it well.
Sincerely,
