What a complete spazmo!

Good on him for encouraging people to get out and volunteer though

Gotta love Boris! Fair play to him for helping out with a good cause, clearing litter from rivers as well.

If Brown had been in his place (not likely IMO!), and fallen over he would have probably have gone mental at the other charity members for not coming to his aid soon enough, before having all the media arrested and cameras confiscated!

Don't see how he's a **** for trying to encourage people to volunteer. Or to encourage people to keep Britain tidy.

He fell in waist deep, so what?

Not even seen the vid, but I bet he was not crying about it was he? Lol
Usually takes such things well.

I would vote for him too lol

The vid of him almost getting wiped out with the other cyclists was a shocker. In the news a lot is our Boris.

I like Boris -- as long as he has people around him who actually know what they are doing and advise him correctly he is a great leader.

Given the near miss the other day with the lorry, im sure most other would have been hiding under a shady cool rock by a stream!

As funny as the whole matter is for the Boris haters, the great thing is, it shows he is human, willing and a good sport.
Thats why I voted for him
Oh and his policies were good lol

I hated Ken with a passion. I first liked Boris when he went through a red light on his cycle with the cameras rolling

He is the man

Well here we go again, whilst you are right to point out Red Kens likely reaction to a similar situation, let us for a minute consider the likely SN reaction to such an event.....

hmmm one-sided political commentary on SN surely not

Hmm, one sided inasmuch as a lot of people dispised and disliked Red Ken and Boris has proven himself human + won the London Mayorial Race by beating Ken and so is more popular than the outgoing and disliked Ren Ken sort of one sided eh Martin

The Red Ken who compared a Jewish reporter to a Concentration Camp Guard and never apologised for his racist attack on said reporter - likeable and kind hearted bloke that Ken Livingstone

Yup, we all must be mugs eh!

I like Boris.

He is human as has been said.

He fcuked up with us scousers, yet had the ***** to apologize.

He was human on TopGear too, almost taking the p1ss out of himself which I see as a great quality in any person.

Its the human errors and the way he deals with them that makes him so likeable to most.
Rather than having his PR and spin doctors make an amazing excuse for him.

Like Obama with the Special Olympics comment, he knew he messed up and did something about it.

Boris is far from perfect, but he does not claim to be either.

Martin, I would not say "one sided" I would say more "majority voice" There is a big difference. Its not our fault that Ken was a "Do as I say, not as I do" man.
Like Brown, towards the end of his reign, he became disliked, to the point where people wanted anything but him.

Thankfully Boris was there to fill the job.

Swiss, get the lube ready, he is trying to deal with the points, just the red tape to chop thru now.
