Last night saw a hustings at which the leading four of the mayoral candidates addressed the big business community in London.

Dave Hill of the Guardian ‘live-blogged’ the event, giving a good overview of proceedings. One of the comments posted underneath, from (one assumes) a member of the business community in the audience, offered what we can only hope is an opinion which reflects the thoughts of plenty of other audience members!

I was actually there tonight; first time I’ve seen them all in the flesh. I thought Boris came across rather poorly in the end. His jokes got their usual laughs but he seemed agitated the whole time and [kept] interjecting when others were speaking.

Sounds like more evidence as to why Boris is avoiding any similar events in a more public sphere, like a televised debate. He just can’t handle proper, adult discussions of the real issues, without getting flustered and interrupting people rudely.
