...has now been Mayor of the most powerful city on the planet for roughly 2 hours 30 minutes.

So lets reflect.

This lovable politician, who many know from his rumblings on BBC's 'Have I got news for you' is one of those guys who the nation can adore for his comedic value, and classic Boris soundbites. No other politician is so well known by their first name, which is amazing given that Boris isn't even in Government.

Though... for all his popularity, imagine this.

"Tube strike over pay"
"Bombs rock London"
"Londoners dispair over rocketing price of the Olympics"
"Tubes close through fear of terrorism"

If any of the above were to happen, how competent would our lovable Boris be?

Haha, I was talking to my sister about who lives in London (she voted Ken) and she said that a lot of people voted Boris just to vote against Ken. We'll see how a conservative Mayor does things.

Stephen Fry makes stupid comments. Would you question his intellect?

Still doesn't change the fact that he probably only became mayor because people wanted a change from Ken.

Boris has insulted pretty much every nationality and race there is. He's hardly a good role model for one of the most racially-varied cities in the world.
