Boris Johnson
Look the point is ... er, what is the point? It is a tough job but somebody has got to do it.
Johnson quotes
Tremendous, little short of superb. On cracking form.
Johnson
I advise you all very strongly - go for a run, get some exercise, and have a beautiful day.




Johnson Boris quotes
Ok, I said to myself as I sighted the bird down the end of the gun. This time, my fine feathered friend, there is no escape.
Johnson Boris
But here's old Ken - he's been crass, he's been insensitive and thuggish and brutal in his language - but I don't think actually if you read what he said, although it was extraordinary and rude, I don't think he was actually anti-Semitic.
Boris Johnson quotes
Boris was told to engage his brain before speaking in future.
Boris Johnson
Try as I might, I could not look at an overhead projection of a growth profit matrix, and stay conscious.
Johnson Boris quotes
The problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more... Consider Uganda, pearl of Africa, as an example of the British record. ... the British planted coffee and cotton and tobacco, and they were broadly right... If left to their own devices, the natives would rely on nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain. You never saw a place so abounding in bananas: great green barrel-sized bunches, off to be turned into matooke. Though this dish (basically fried banana) was greatly relished by Idi Amin, the colonists correctly saw that the export market was limited... The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.
Johnson
I have not had an affair with Petronella. It is complete balderdash. It is an inverted pyramid of piffle. It is all completely untrue and ludicrous conjecture. I am amazed people can write this drivel.
Johnson Boris
That is the best case for Bush; that, among other things, he liberated Iraq. It is good enough for me.
Boris Johnson
It is just flipping unbelievable. He is a mixture of Harry Houdini and a greased piglet. He is barely human in his elusiveness. Nailing Blair is like trying to pin jelly to a wall.




Boris Johnson quotes
Not even Mr Blair has been able to erode the unions conviction that we all have a “right” to a minimum wage… Both the minimum wage and the Social Charter would palpably destroy jobs.
Boris Johnson
My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.
Johnson quotes
Dark forces dragged me away from the keyboard, swirling forces of irresistible intensity and power.
Johnson Boris
Life isn’t like coursework, baby. It’s one damn essay crisis after another.
Johnson Boris quotes
I'm backing David Cameron's campaign out of pure, cynical self-interest.
Boris Johnson
Boris Johnson, people always ask me the same question, they say, 'Is Boris a very very clever man pretending to be an idiot?' And I always say, 'No.'
Boris Johnson quotes
I’m very attracted to it. I may be diverting from Tory party policy here, but I don’t care.
Boris Johnson
The Lib Dems are not just empty. They are a void within a vacuum surrounded by a vast inanition.
Johnson Boris
The proposed ban on incitement to “religious hatred” makes no sense unless it involves a ban on the Koran itself; and that would be pretty absurd, when you consider that the Bill's intention is to fight Islamophobia.
