Well, one reason is that Boris alas affects many outside London - as currently with his support for his own version of the pyramids - Boris Island - which would aggravate tidal heave in the Thames estuary, create the word's best terrorist target, destroy internationally protected wildlife, turn half of Kent and Essex into building sites for 10 years, and also engender the world's greatest risk of birdstrike - to create an airport that the airlines don't want there and which the head of air traffic control has called insanely dangerous - to provide more air travel which the world does not need and which will speed up the destruction of our ecosystem.

Boris "Bloody Stupid" Johnson. And that is not (as he would put it) a "fucking lie".
