I disagree. It's the mark of the calibre of the man: vain, stupid disingenuous, deceitful, cowardly, a bully.
I could go on, but I am seriously worried an idiot of this low calibre (who was a disaster as Foreign Secretary) could get elected without proper scrutiny. I hope he gets his jotters next week. Hubris is written all over him
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf The big bad wolf, the big bad wolf Who's afraid of the big bad wolf Tra la la la la .... Boris is! .... Tra la la, tra la la Tra la la la la la la la la la la Who's afraid of the big, big, big Bad wolf
And Jeremy Corbyn refuses to go on LBC. You can make exactly the same argument. The only leader not etc etc.

Still primarily a London station, despite their protestations of national coverage, so no, I don't think that they are the same.
This man in Preston summed BJ quite well I thought
Boris Johnson is a narcissistic, opportunistic, self-interested, psychopathic [rude word removed] who could not give a flying f*** about anyone other than Boris Johnson.” he vented to HuffPost UK.
Whatever I am, wherever I am, this is me. This is my life

London is in Labours pocket bar a couple of boroughs ( Uxbridge - Boris') so whats the point, preaching to the converted
yes and also Farage stomping ground. I have a couple of times listened to his slot and he comes across much better, quite reasonable in fact
For those who think that none of the leaders are suitable to be PM so you won't bother voting - I suggest you vote with the intention that none of them get a majority big enough to do whatever they want...

It’s listened to all over the country, my Edinburgh taxi driver had it on this morning. The people phoning in are from everywhere.

Which I acknowledge. Internet radio allows that. I was listening to a Senegalese music station the other day. It's still primarily a London station, nonetheless. It was only 5 years ago that it declared itself to be "Leading Britain's Conversation" as opposed to "London's Conversation"

Boris' minders won't let him go on with Andrew Neil. They know better.
Reflecting on this, and hearing the coverage all day today I reckon he's been much more damaged by allowing Andrew Neil to grandstand in this way than he would have been if he had subjected himself to scrutiny.

Maybe Trump is really Boris's dad? Thats where Boris gets his behaviour from? Doesnt Boris have an american connection? would explain why Trump dotes on Boris?
It's quite something when what the President of the US and the PM of GB have in common is that they are both unrestrained liars, homophobes, mysoginists and inslamaphobes.
