The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Tories choose Boris
Unsurprisingly, Boris Johnson has been chosen as the Tory candidate in next year's mayoral election. He gained three-quarters of the votes cast as he saw off the challenge of relative unknowns Victoria Borwick, Andrew Boff and Warwick Lightfoot.
I've got to admit, even though I line up pretty far to the Left, I'm charmed by Johnson. Probably for the best that I'm in Oxford and don't get to vote for mayor of London.
Boris can be very amiable and entertaining but there is an unsavoury strand to him - not just his stupid comments about Liverpudlians or people in Portsmouth either!

Shame in a lot of ways, I'm sure ken would have loved the chance to Boff Boff, so to speak!
He'll have to yank Boris' Johnson instead!

I'll be voting Labour, not that I like Ken much
