Drinking in THE CHANDOS on Saturday afternoon with some fine examples of contemproary anarchism I’m informed that BORIS JOHNSON has been biffed and bopped from his bike in central London - heralding a first BASH THE RICH action of the summer. Boris was cycling through when he chanced upon some comrades of the ANARCHIST FEDERATION drinking alfresco. ‘What Ho old Bean’ came the shout as they chased after him knocking him off his bike and buckling the front wheel before the TOFF legged it.

Such actions are worth more than ten thousand words……………….

Somebody submitted that anecdote as a story for Resistance anonymously. As far as I know, nobody involved was an AF member.

See here

Quote:
A few comrades were enjoying alfresco drinking in central London when who should bicycle by
but shadow Minister for Higher Education Boris Johnson, editor of The Spectator and Conservative
MP for Henley. Eager to commend the portly man mountain on his obvious commitment to reducing his (rather heavy) carbon footprint, the comrades gave chase crying 'What ho, old bean!'.

In the confusion of so many chaps trying to shake the portly Tory's hand at once poor Boris was knocked from his bicycle and jostled most rudely! At this point he seemed to think he was being attacked, and before they could remonstrate with the right on, right wing professional adulterer he had beat a hasty retreat screaming 'Fuck off!'.

Its just not cricket.

Not sure why Ian Bone felt the need to make such a big thing about it.

So the fact that he's a smug, Tory cunt who spent his student days terrorising bar staff with his rich friends and trying to excuse it by bunging the landlord a few quid afterwards doesn't put you off him even slightly?

In any case, the tone of the article was hardly serious, it was a short, jokey piece that was put in to lighten the tone a bit.

The pint thing just reminded me of it. Plus the fact that he was a member of the Bullingdon club says it all IMO.

Though if you're after a more recent example of what a prick he is, just look at his comments about Hillsborough.

I like him because for all his twattishness he is something different from the sterile, media trained, boring bastards who constitute the modern political classes. I like him in the way i much prefer aristocrats over the grasping pathetic medicore middle classes.

revol is talking some sense. boris makes me laugh. if we have to have tories id rather we had him than any of the others. be nice if he was just some tv person and not a politician though, like maybe he could have a talk show or something. i like him way more than i like michael aspel, jonathan ross, or graham norton.

overlooking the specifics, his genral sentiment was bang on, scoursers are a bunch of self pitying pricks, mock sentimental gobshotes who'd give your average west belfast catholic a run in the 'chip on shoulder' stakes.

and their gobshite fans did try to fight their way into the Europen Cup final in Athens, plus they all cried on national tv when their flights got cancelled!!

i forgot you were a scouser.

Still if i was giving away an award for "Best International Honourary Whinging Fenian Bastards" it'd be a toss up between Basques and Scousers.

also I think William hague is a decent fella to have a few pints with, a muppet of course but a muppet who actually believes in his politics as opposed to smug sub Nu Labour Cameron.

nah she's a grumpy bat, no crack down the pub, Edwina Curry seems like she might be a laugh though.

Mo Mowlam had some personality as well.

And it's idiots like you which mean that his facade of being a "likeable chap" might possibly get him elected as London Mayor. This is the guy who organised the assault of a journalist who wrote unsympathetically about him. I'd only have a pint with him if I could glass him at the end.

saying i'd have a pint with him or find him funny doesn't mean i'd vote for him, what with me not voting and all.

pretending he's not more interesting than the various robotic new labourites that get rolled out is just silly, he clearly is.
