Happy B'Day, BJ - Boris pops the cork on 12 months as mayor

Boris Johnson has just celebrated one year in office as the Mayor of London.

The current Spectator magazine has an excellent feature on Boris, one of my very favourite politicians, and I urge you to find your copy at the local newsagent before it is replaced with next week's edition.

For those of you who may not be all that familiar with Boris, the video below is a short speech by the man in question, just after signing the seals of office last year. There are dozens of YouTube clips of him - both for and agin, it must be said - so check them out.

I think he's awesome; which, when it comes to describing a politician, is as effusive as I'm ever likely to get.
