Cameron Digs At Boris
15 Answers
The Prime Minister, who was speaking at the annual Westminster Correspondents dinner, recounted an anecdote about a day spent canvassing with the Mayor of London in Hampstead, North London. He said: “This very attractive middle-aged woman came to the door and said, ‘Boris! Lovely to see you. You are the father of one of my children.’ ”
Mr Cameron told how the Mayor’s “white hair stood up on end”, before adding: “I can’t remember all the words that came out, but there was a lot of ‘Cripes’ and ‘Oh God’. This went on for about ten minutes.”
The Prime Minister said that Mr Johnson remained flustered until the woman said: “No, you’re the father of one of my children, your daughter — I’m her maths teacher.” [The Times]
Dear me. Anyone else think that humour is not something that the PM should try ? And certainly not if he's picking on Boris; the replies will be funny and damaging

I think the same Fred. Do you think it might be a sign of madness?
its really powerful stuff!! .. he is suffering from a type of Eaton nostalgia perhaps...... Boris no doubt will have a plan to get him when he least expects it and it will hurt. With a bit of luck Boris will also strangle Dave with a London bicycle.
I bet we are paying for someone to write these Dave gags which is another bad joke.

Well, its an old joke but a reasonably good one. I am sure that if the tables had been turned, and Boris was telling the joke, it would have gone down much better.
I have made this point many times before on AB but we underestimate and ignore Boris at our peril. He is highly intelligent and extremely capable. Behind that facade of wild hair, and circus clown antics, lies a very astute political mind, perhaps the best of his generation.
He knows that he just has to wait in the wings patiently. If the Men in Grey Suits had done their job properly, they would have ditched dave in favour of Boris long ago. But the Tories are now facing defeat. I have no doubt whatsoever that Boris will be in Number Ten at some time in the future.
