"The trouble With Boris"

Is on Channel Four now. Dispaches. Already some shots of David Cameron looking over lovingly... and also looking over in agonising embarrassment.

On a similar note, 'The Trouble With Boris' sounds like a limerick. Which I shall now write.

The trouble with Boris it seems,
is how the satirists made all his dreams.
The polls might have been duped,
but satirists will whoop,
when Boris is elected new Queen.

I used to have a children's book called "The Trouble With Grandma!" It was about a boy who had an alien for a grandmother. Hello genetical mess ups!
What's the trouble with Boris? From what I've heard, he's done a pretty good job so far.

Bendy buses, pollution and... erm... just being a bit of a thickie? Oh! And, of course, the whole Stuart Collier affair.

And lots of shots of Ken Livingstone looking sad. :( Poor Newt-boy.

Dispatches is just being Dispatches. The trendy younger brother of Panorama.

Ah, okay, please excuse my ignorant Scottishness. :D
He did manage to get Ian Blair out of his job which Ken never did so that's pretty good. My family want me to be either First minister or head of the army - the latter ain't going to happen, I am so unfit!

Scottishness = half way towards being Prime Minister ;)

Tch. My parents are just glad I'm not dead. That's all they expect. Breathing. :D

Channel Four is very biased towards the left. It always has been, and always will be.

It was very interesting I'd give it that, but that guy was out to get Boris, he pointed out all the little negative things and missed out a lot of big positive things about the man.

Although I must admit, that telephone call with Darius Guppy was pretty haunting...
"Seriously f**cking damaging to my career?" I think so Boris!

Time will only tell. Boris is a good guy, he might be a little out of his depth, but I believe in him.

I can't comment. I don't know how it is living in London, but a few of my friends have commented that Boris wasn't the 'saviour' that they expected when they voted him in. They wanted radical changes, apparently they haven't provided that.

Well, it was bound to be stupidly bias. That presenter chappy was obviously desperate to be 'hard core' and 'hard hitting'. A neutral and unbiased view? Pah. Leave that to the BBC.

That Guppy call was... odd. I don't blame Boris, he was obviously just trying to avoid getting on the wrong side of the guy by doing some elective lying. Still... very, very odd.

Being an open-minded person I watched the program with an un-decided eye, and un-biased mind. It was what I expected after all.

But my Step-Dad did point out some facts about what the program was shadowing involving pollution, because he's just signed a contract with Boris under his company which has something to do with reducing pollution by a drastic amount. He was talking business talk so all I heard was a load of gibberish and the words "contract with Boris, reducing pollution, missed out points" (Having said that, the signing of the contract was very recent, the program was obviously made a few weeks ago)

And what was with Guppy saying "I love you" at the end of that phone call? I suppose that's toff talk for "catch you later mate..."

I vote raiding his answer phone to see who else is signing off with that certain phrase... WINK.

Oh, bias views of politics, why can't we all present a neutral standpoint? Probably because it'd be less exciting and more dull.

While Boris is a brilliant host, he sort of tried to prevent the plane love. I suppose this works against him.
