Boris: Paranoia strikes deep

Boris was off on one again in the Sunday papers.
 
This time, he seems to have convinced himself that he's the victim of a "huge leftwing conspiracy".

In the Telegraph, he goes on a rant about how people are out to get him with dirty tricks.

The accusations he's lobbing about include that there's been some kind of Ken Livingstone hacking attempt that broke into his email account and shut down his system.
 
Even worse, Boris accuses his opponents of reading his columns and criticising him for things he wrote.  He's also claiming to be the victim of "push polling" - which is where a people ask leading questions to many thousands of voters to affect opinion. 
 
However, the Tory did not present any evidence for any of these very serious allegations.  Anyone would think that something was making him paranoid.

You are confused Mr Johnson, the electors said 
And your hair is exceedingly white,
And yet you incessantlly stand on your head,
Do you think in this age it is right?

Perhaps  readers of Labourhome can provide the next couple of verses.

And Cameron has had to reprimand him for supporting a amnesty on immigrants.

Will the real face of the Tories please stand up

Tipped off by Friday's Evening Standard I perused Boris Johnson's new interview with Janet Street Porter in this month's Marie Claire magazine.  If Janet's view of him is shared by most female Londoners he's in big trouble on May 1st!

Go on, tell us more.

Youi'll have to buy it but you can just tell by the tone of her questions (and what the questions are) that she thinks he's a no good, "can't keep it in his pants" chauvanist sort.  There are no questions on policy only about his private life and he seems totally agitated throughout.  I'm surprised it hasn't been picked up on more in the press.

The amnesty policy may turn out to be quite clever.  It distances him from the central party, ensuring that he's not seen as too close to Cameron.  And it may play well with many Londoners.
