THE UNPLEASANT TRUTH ABOUT BORIS THE CHAMELEON

What a card is Boris, what a jolly day the day he became Major of London. We have all been entertained ever since by his polished insincerity, his assumed air of modesty. Of course he does have much to be modest about.
He is a man of many parts, none of them wholly authentic; you can take your pick from passionate amateur, wise fool, comic juggler with reality, or you might even be attracted to the jester wielding a dagger. For the jester has ambitions.
BORIS IN FULL BLUSTER MODE
Boris was performing one of his less noticed tricks recently at Mayor’s question time. If you watched carefully you could spot the card trick. 
The trick involves, a) not having done his homework,-detail being to Boris what hot baths are to cats and, b) concealing the fact that he has not done his homework by casting down on the veracity of his questioner .“…Well I'm not sure what you say is correct….if true…well you have not always been correct in the past…this is not my understanding.” Bluster and obfuscation, obfuscation and bluster, the ruffled hair, the pissed off look, all designed to throw people off the scent, that he does not know what he is talking about. 
MAN OF DESTINY

This little performance came in response to questions about undercover policing, an issue I have previously covered in this blog,* police spying on protest groups. It was clear that Boris had not initiated any actions in response to the unfolding scandal and indeed did not wish to initiate any. This far from amusing performance revealed the reality of Boris’s Mayoralty; he is not really a clown at all but a right wing ideologue who is instinctively hostile to dissent.
