One of his first appointments was one Simon Milton as...

martin.belam@currybet.net — Thu, 15 May 2008 00:23:39 GMT

WebCameron And Boris Johnson (Coventry Green Voice)

noreply@blogger.com (scott redding) — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:24:00 GMT

Out of the 122 videos on webcameron , 10 of the top 15 "most watched" are to do with Boris Johnson. If Boris doesn't do well in London, it'll damage a lot of the effort that Cameron has put into webcameron. I'm surprised at the low viewing figures on webcameron: only 2 of the 122 videos have been viewed more than 10 000 times. This could be compared to Oxfam UK (3 videos with more...

NEWS Time. 12:15: “In an item about Boris Johnson's first day at the office I felt that the BBC unfairly reinforced the stereotype some have, as seeing him as a bit of a fool by showing that he apparently could not turn on a computer.

Knife Scanners Hit The Streets (Londonist)

Thu, 15 May 2008 15:23:57 GMT
