Boris Johnson has been ordered to visit Liverpool to apologise in person for his magazine article that criticised the city’s grief over Ken Bigley.

Liverpudlians do not wallow in self-pity. Liverpool is a big (OK, medium-sized) city with a sense of community that is rarely seen outside tiny villages, and is hence difficult to comprehend for people who have not experienced this before. However, this community spirit is one of the great strengths of the city and definitely not a negative quality as many in the media seem to make out.
