Boris - man of the people
According to the Red Rag, "Boris Johnson arrived in Beijing today looking tired and dishevelled". When does he ever look anything other than this?
Seemingly BJ was denied an upgrade by BA on his flight to see the closing ceremony of the Olympics (which apparently are taking place at the moment).
Congrats to Boris for slumming it with the proles and for having the chutzpah to ask for an upgrade. If you don't ask, you don't get. I would rather he flew economy and tried to blag a bigger seat for free, than paying vast sums of my tax for a flat bed and a glass of fizz, as Golden Gordon has doubtless done with his family. And don’t get me started on the alleged £20k “freebie” extended to Livingstone for his trip to China…
