Johnson was born in Manhattan, into privilege. Educated at Eton, his reports described his 'complacency, idleness and lateness'. He was sacked from his first journalistic job with The Times, that 'family connections' had provided, for falsifying a quotation to support a story. His articles about the European Commission for the Daily Telegraph were regarded as containing 'many untruths'. Chris Patten said he was 'one of the greatest exponents of fake journalism.' His first wife left him and he married again. In 1990 he agreed to reveal information to a friend who wanted to have a journalist beaten up to avoid investigation, but was worried his role would be discovered and later claimed he changed his mind. As editor of the Spectator he was criticised for allowing racist and anti Semitic language to be published and was forced to apologise for allowing publication of an inaccurate and offensive article about the Hillsborough disaster and Liverpudlians. His employer described him as 'ineffably duplicitous'. As an M.P. he missed meetings, attended just over half of the Commons votes in his first 4 years, and in his second term, under half. He dismissed reports of an affair as 'piffle', though it was proven. His lover had two terminated pregnancies. He was sacked as Tory party vice chair and shadow arts minister for publicly lying. In 2005 he was earning a quarter of a million pounds a year for spending a couple of hours a week writing a column for the Daily Telegraph, an amount he described as 'chicken-feed'. In 2007 he was the third highest earning M.P. on £540,000. Having been appointed London Mayor he missed meetings and went on holiday, just having been appointed. His claims, that during his mayoralty, serious youth crime had dropped and Met police numbers had increased were false. He stayed on holiday in British Columbia for two days during the London Riots and purchased water canon without approval, which, unused, went to scrap. There were reports of further affairs, and children, that he didn't deny. In 2009 an affair resulted in a love child, the existence of whom he sought to conceal. A judge quashed a confidentiality injunction, ruling that the public had a right to know about Johnson's 'reckless behaviour'. The former Swedish Prime minister wished Boris's appointment as Foreign Secretary was 'a joke'. Sir Alan Duncan said he was described as Johnson's 'pooper scooper'. Having already caused offence to Malaysian woman, Papua New Guinea and President Obama, he went on to offend Myanmar, Libya, Turkey, Russia, Muslims and Sikhs. He likened Muslim women wearing the burka or niqab to letter boxes or bank robbers. He said that spending money on historic allegations of child abuse was money 'spaffed up the wall' (spaff slang for ejaculate). The shadow police minister said he was a 'shameless, dangerous oaf'. His catastrophic blunder over Zaghari-Ratcliffe led to the doubling of her sentence. The UK Statistics Authority accused him of 'a clear misuse of official statistics'. He was forced to apologise to Parliament for not declaring £50,000 of earnings. Last year he split from his wife of 25 years having become linked to 31 year old Carrie Symonds. This year the Independent Press Standards Organisation ruled that a claim Boris made in a recent article was 'false'. The Economist described him last year as the 'most irresponsible politician'. Others have described him as a 'serial liar' and a 'self absorbed sociopath'. Carrie Symonds has allegedly said to him "You don't care for anything because you're spoilt." If this is the calibre of man that the Tory party are going to place into Downing Street, then let their party suffer electoral oblivion for generations.

ARCHBISHOP JONATHAN BLAKE - MY LIFE - PART TWO
I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.
"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
