Boris, Bigley, and a Ferry Across the Mersey

[liadnan]

Boris (?: unsigned) puts his foot in it re: Ken Bigley and, more significantly, Hillsborough (free registration required, bugmenot probably has one).

Apology on behalf of Boris on his blog, with comments and trackbacks.

Earlier, pre-edit version of apology still (as of 16 Oct 2004 18:50) surviving through livejournal's syndication...

Hmm. I've always suspected Boris is a lot smarter than his deliberately concocted image (and a friend who was at school with him concurs). Now I'm much less sure, unless, as is being suggested, the author was someone else (apparently the favourite on some internet betting site is the obnoxious Mark Steyn).

Whatever. Off to Bradleys to drink and eat, in that order, with the usual suspects.

The BBC report that I read said that it was written by someone else, but that Johnson accepts responsibility for it in his capacity as editor. If only more of the current Government would show a similar understanding of the concept of responsibility, I might like them as much as I like Johnson.
