Show us your Johnson!

Boehner, Speaker of the House under Obama, is pronounced "Bay-ner". I know this for a fact now.

Huh, maybe I got him mixed up with John Hickenlooper. I guess most of the news anchors I've heard over the years have been mispronouncing his name too. Learn something new every day.

"Gary McKinnon wasn't even a proper hacker," wrote Johnson. "He did something called 'blank password scanning', and, because these military computers were so dumb as to lack proper passwords, he was able to roam around their intestines in search of evidence of little green men. He was so innocent and unfurtive in his investigations that he left his own email address, and messages such as: 'Your security is crap.' And, yes, since you ask, he does think that he found evidence that the US military is infiltrated by beings from the planet Tharg. He even knows the names and ranks of various non-terrestrial officers, though unfortunately they have been deleted from his hard drive.


"It is brutal, mad and wrong even to consider sending this man to America for trial. He has been diagnosed as having Asperger's syndrome, for heaven's sake. How can the British government be so protoplasmic, so pathetic, so heedless of the wellbeing of its own people, as to sign the warrant for his extradition?"

Praising Obama's actions since being sworn into office, which include initiating the closure of the Guantánamo Bay detention camp and ending the practise of "extraordinary rendition", Johnson said it was now time for the US to end "its demented quest" to extradite the 42-year-old from north London.

"To listen to the ravings of the US military, you would think that Mr McKinnon is a threat to national security on a par with Osama bin Laden. According to the Americans, this mild-mannered computer programmer has done more damage to their war-fighting capabilities than all the orange-pyjama-clad suspects of Guantánamo combined."

Boris isn't that much like Trump, apart from being un-PC (mostly in the 1990s in his, newspaper column) He's liberal in some areas and right leaning in others. I think London was better under him than the current mayor. One of his first moves as PM was to scrap the previous PM's target to reduce immigration, hardly something Trump would do?

Also he was a big advocate for Gary McKinnon, the guy with Aspergers who hacked the pentagon. He spoke out against him being extradited to America and said the following:

How did a British PM get a Russian first name? ...

How did a British PM get a Russian first name? Boris always reminds me of Boris and Natasha, the Russian baddies in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon series.

Good job Jeremy Hunt didn't win as people seem unable to say his surname without changing the first initial , even on the news.

I'm not sure having a Johnson is better than having a Hunt

on Facebook.

She's lying! I'm sure she's used that word before. I know a number of Brit women who toss that word around like it's nothing. One even called me a "cheeky c**t" one day on Facebook.
