I find it hard to stay angry at Boris Johnson. Maybe because he was quick to apologise. Maybe it’s because he has such a cuddly persona that is easy to forgive.
Or maybe I feel sorry for him. Nobody, no matter what his crimes, should be forced to endure the moaning pensioners on Radio Merseyside‘s lunchtime phone in.
Not to mention the childish hatchet job by loathsome pseudo-journalist Paddy Shennan in tonight’s Echo.
So he’s off back to Henley, no doubt to find a message from the guest booker of Have I Got News for You on his answerphone.
Can we put it behind us now… please?
