Boris for Mayor?

Boris Johnson's application form to be the Conservative's candidate for London Mayor shows exactly why he shouldn't get the job.

For example, under a question titled "Examples of Challenges Faced", Boris writes:

"Negotiating Hyde Park corner by bicycle. Outcome: survival"

Exactly why this makes him qualified to be Mayor eludes me.

Red Ken may be - well - too red for me. But at least he has vision and purpose - something lacking thus far in Boris' bid to be the most powerful man in London.

Boris is undoubtedly a funny person. But he should stick to Have I Got News For You. As Mayor, it wouldn't just be Boris who is a laughing stock - it'd be the whole of London too.
