I have heard London Mayor Boris Johnson speak publically twice and love the way he teeters between outrageousness, buffoonery and insight. The secret is a true comedian’s timing (something I share, so those who have heard some of my regeneration ideas say).
But the main point is that he is an international draw, and as long as London can follow through on delivery, that gets the edge in a competitive market. Pleased to hear the backing for High Speed Rail too.
