Election-watching plan

[ewx]

We'll be staying up to watch the election on Thursday night, after the pub. Please feel free to join us! Either meet us at the Carlton or come straight over from around 2300 (the fantastic Boris Johnson predicts the first results will appear around 2330). Bring a bottle, nibbles, etc if you would like to.

Hurrah for Boris!

Not so fantastic if he happens to be your MP.

If I had to have a Conservative MP I can think of far worse choices! I really enjoyed the TV program he did on Turkish art.

Uncyclopedia is playing up right now (not working for anonymous users), so here's the article:

Boris Johnson, MP for Cloud Cuckoo Land, has been widely regarded as the unofficial Prime Minister of Great Britain ever since Tony Blair went all serious. While Johnson is technically a Conservative, that hasn't alienated the left because his is a hereditary conservatism, bestowed on him by mummy and daddy. He doesn't really understand about politics and believes he won his election rosette for having the tidiest desk.

The main things that seem to have attracted Johnson's followers are:

* he won the Victoria Cross for saving Simon Heffer from the wrath of the scouse (by pratting about till everyone had forgotten what was going on)
* He's a bit of a tit.
* He has about a million jobs and doesn't do any of them very well.
* He's a good chap. You know. Chaps. And all that. Chaps stick up for chaps, what?
* He will probably fall over at some stage, which will be funny.

The wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson) article is nearly as amusing, it starts "Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson" and just gets better from there.

Johnson is famously disorganised and once explained the lateness of his work by claiming that "Dark forces dragged me away from the keyboard, swirling forces of irresistible intensity and power", as well as getting his own name wrong, and successfully becoming locked out of his own home in front of reporters.

Boris Johnson is a great champion of freedom and democracy. What a pity he's a fictional character in Agent of Chaos by Norman Spinrad.
