This week’s post is about the probably most loved politician in the United Kingdom. I’m of course talking about Boris Johnson the mayor of London.
Side note: I would just like to mention that Boris Johnson is a politician and is not a comedian. He is the real mayor of London and does not use the title as his stage name. I mention this because he was voted the best British comedian in Germany, them thinking the Mayor of London being a stage name.
Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson was actually born in America (If he lived out there for 14 years he could become President! Just saying). He’s Oxford educated along with a certain Prime Minister David Cameron. After university, he started writing for a number of British Newspapers including The Times and the Daily Telegraph. He started becoming noticed while serving as the Member of Parliament for Henley in the House of Commons. He was elected to Parliament in 2001.
He is one of the most well known British Politicians; this could also be due to his trademark hair, which is quite frankly never tidy. The bosses at the Olympic Games made him get a decent hair cut for the arrival of the flame. Due to him being instantly recognised by his first name alone, he became a popular candidate for the London Mayor elections.
Despite his friendliness he has at times, like many politicians, stuck is foot in it. This has included a number of racial problems, gay rights and affairs that were picked out from newspapers.
Boris has two younger brothers and a sister.
Rachel Johnson is the next eldest, and is a journalist and novelist.
Leo Johnson is an entrepreneur and film maker.
Jo Johnson is chief policy maker of the Conservative party for Orpington.
