Paddy Shennan talks to Spectator editor Boris Johnson - in town today to face the flak over THAT magazine article
BOY blunder Boris Johnson brought his one-man circus to Liverpool today, to allow people to see a grovelling clown close-up.
With the apparently mindless motto of "speak hurtful lies and numbskull nonsense first, think later," the Tory MP and media "personality" is the kind of himbo who gives blondes of both sexes a bad name.
The unwelcome daytripper is currently so unpopular in Liverpool that his Tory minders kept the details of today's visit a closelyguarded secret until the last minute.
I interviewed him on the 'phone at the start of what, hopefully, would prove to be an extremely uncomfortable day for the erring editor of an obscure right-wing mag called The Spectator ( circulation, 64,000).
So, after all the cloak and dagger nonsense, where are you, Boris? Go on, you can tell me.
"Err, I'm ... I don't know exactly where I am. But I'm in a charming hotel."
And are you excited - or scared stiff?
"Everyone keeps joking about how I'll need my gum shield but my view is that I hope people will be forgiving of our mistakes and will show the friendliness for which they are famous.
"If I am wrong, then I'll be disappointed, but I will have deserved it. But I will take it on the chin --whatever happens."
He adds: "One of the sad things about today is that it's a complete media jamboree. The police have said I can't go to any of the museums and that's very, very sad. I'm going to have to come back when I'm less likely to be pelted with eggs."
Come off it, Bozza. People wouldn't even waste one good egg on one bad egg.
