But not dope and crack it seems!

There's a vacancy at the co-op.

This is a man who doesn't seem to be able to see beyond his own perception of himself - at least as far as the media and public's perception.

That means that in his mind, because he has said sorry and admitted to his 'sins', that wipes them out.

That is confusing Catholic confessin with real life - a dangerous mistake for any politician as high-profle as he is.

Hopefully his car-crash of a career will be brought to a close sooner rather than later.

Stopping everything at once might be too much of a shock to his system. Bit by bit is probably better.

Hooray! It's that mayor Ford again, the most interesting thing that's happened in Toronto in living memory.

He has absolutely no insight into himself. His appeal has been to what, across the border, would be termed the redneck vote. He blusters his way through life, threatening to sue anyone who speaks against him, sacking anyone who doesn't kow tow to him, whilst all the while affecting to speak for those who have no voice. One of his latest outbursts was against a woman who said she had been sexually assaulted by him; his riposte was that he could get all the sex he wanted (but not in those terms; what he did say is not suitable for a family newspaper !)

But anyone who turns up in the council chamber wearing a football shirt has a certain style! His powers have now been severely restricted but ,curiously, the local Prime Minister has said that she will only endorse his removal if all 44 council members vote for it. He lives on, but surely not for much longer.

sensible - it's booze that's been causing the problems.

when I saw the headline, I am ashamed to say exactly the same crossed my mind...

TTT cute logo - British Antartic Survey or what ?

[Peter Pedant]

oh come on Freddie - you want someone like the Mayor of Toronto to lead you instead of someone like Boring Boris, innit ?

[pixie373]

Brilliant start, if he can keep it up. Good luck to him.

[FredPuli43]

Yes, Peter, I get the point, but Boris only chases women. He can't catch many, or we'd hear about it.

PP it's the Falklands flag with the shield part moved so it fits the square. Cue the anti British.......

[mikey4444]

A period of complete silence from this stupid man would be most welcome.

[ToraToraTora]

don't put yourself down mikey!

[mikey4444]

TTT...why make a joke of this sorry affair ? This man is a complete disgrace,
