Minister for Magic onna bike!

[burntcopper]

Just seen Boris Johnson, the esteemed minister for magic, on a bike cycling up the hampstead/camden road. Kept being hailed by people in the traffic queue, including me from across the road.

Quite interesting. Everyone likes him and thinks he's a good bloke, even if they don't vote tory. Including yours truly, who is a dyed-in-the-wool lib dem. Me and my brother's veins probably bleed yellow, with green tinges.

Spent day in Camden with Jo, Cathy, Kith, Paul and Liss. Food eaten, market wandered around. Spent most of it looking like I was about to fall over, but got better as day wore on.

...despite his actually being a pretentious, adulterous twat. Yes, it is odd, isn't it? :-)

:muses: maybe it's like unto the Bill Clinton effect. You can see people being affected by the charisma.

Yes, there's no one more popular than a faithless, lecherous liar. Funny old world, innit?
