Reasons to like Boris Johnson

Having had one reason alone to like Boris (he's entertaining if nothing else), I thought of another earlier on today.

He's the only Tory MP i've yet seen admit that he made a mistake in voting for the Iraq war.

Could it be that this blubbering buffoon, who struggles to get his words out around the silver spoon stuck in his mouth, could be the only Tory with any political backbone at all? Other examples appreciated if you have them.

Overheard conversation of the day

On the train back from London, a guy in his late 50's who'd had a few too many was arguing with the conductor. As well as trying to travel on an under 26 ticket, he offered this verbal gem.

Conductor: There's no need to shout sir
Passenger: I need to shout, I'm deaf
Conductor: Well Sir, I'm not.

Wonderful.
