Boris – A Man Of Integrity?
The latest edition of Private Eye has an interesting article which begins by detailing Boris Johnson calling the hounding of Journalist Nick Watt ‘Disgraceful’.
It then goes on to detail (including a transcript of) a recorded telephone conversation between Boris Johnson and Darius Guppy, in which Boris promises to get Guppy a journalist’s home address, so that Guppy can arrange for the journalist to be assaulted.
It’s good to know that our PM is a person of integrity.

> Boris didn’t provide the number ... so, yes, a man of integrity.
Oh really? He said “OK Darry, I’ve said I’ll do it. I’ll do it, don’t worry.”
Once he said that, he was done for. On the one hand, he would be colluding in getting a man beaten up. On the other hand, he would be letting down an old school friend who he'd promised to help. The correct thing to have said was "Get stuffed Darry, I'm not going to help you track someone down so you can beat him up." But Boris was only 26 at the time, we have to allow a young man the ability to make mistakes, don't we?
It's the whole conversation you want to take a look at. This is what we're dealing with, with Boris.

Khandro can't believe anyone actually reads Private Eye.
The magazine has verified sales of almost a quarter of a million copies.
I’ve been reading the magazine for more than 30 years, during that period they have exposed many of our leaders/politicians and others of wrong doing and downright criminality.
Many of these exposés never make it into the main stream news – but occasionally a major news story breaks that was covered by Private Eye months if not years before.

I think that says a lot. It seems to me to be a comic for geriatrics with pea-shooters. in fact I haven't even heard it mentioned anywhere for a long time; so [i] passé [i]
