Don't knock Boris too much. A long chat in ops today about the closing ceremony. All my Chinese collegues thought that the British display was pretty pathetic and even those that had spent some time in the UK said that it gave the impression that it always rained in London.
Boris was a different ball game. I explained that as Mayor he was the boss of London and they were united in that they wanted somebody like that to run China instead of the constant flow of po-faced politicians that they have already.
