Boris spills the beans in his column!!!! (over-egging warning)

After the Ray Lewis cock-up, Boris Johnson had an ideal opportunity to explain himself. His column in the Daily Telegraph today.

So I rushed to read the Johnson outpourings. What explanation would he give for appointing Ray Lewis? What checks were done? Why the shambolic press conference last week?

I was agog.

Sadly, the importance of the Ray Lewis affair was eclipsed by something much more important which Boris had to write about.......the men's tennis final which he attended, of course, as part of his "civic duties".

Of course. Ken Livingstone never attended in eight years as Mayor. But Boris sees it as very important for him to sit in the Royal Box.

So, briefly recapping: The past week has proved that Boris is incompetent in basic matters of management, but - BUT (and it's a big BUT - I have to admit) - he can wear a pink stetson handsomely and can brilliantly position his derrière in one of the seats of the Royal Box at Wimbledon.

Well done Boris!
