Empty canvass

Saturday, 5 April 2008, 19.24 by Mr. Stop Boris

The Mirror covers Boris’s lying about cocaine today, but includes a paragraph at the end that I hadn’t heard about before:

Last night it was revealed that Boris has been campaigning in areas which are not even eligible to vote for him. He has been urging bemused residents of Epping Forest in Essex to back his bid for mayor - despite the whole area being OUTSIDE the capital.

He’s been focusing his campaigning on the outer London boroughs, where the Conservatives traditionally do better (although voting Conservative is no excuse for voting Boris), but this is going a bit far. Perhaps he thinks his support is literally proportional to his distance from Trafalgar Square, but canvassing outside London won’t do him much good on polling day. Long may it continue!

Dangerous driving

Not sure how I missed this - it’s only taken six months for me to stumble across it!

Boris Johnson illegally using his mobile phone while driving.

(Of course, he has also been seen on his phone while cycling, but that’s just risky and stupid, not illegal.)

I wonder if he advocates a zero tolerance approach to all criminal behaviour on the roads, or only that of his boss?
