I like him a lot
Not secretly, either.

But you like him...
...like you would a semi retarded cousin, yes?

Politics aside
I think he's fucking hilarious, and his book The Dream of Rome is a scholarly but informative study of how the perceived concept of the Roman Empire (and what it meant to be Roman) was perhaps the key to its success as opposed to just pure military superiority. As a Classics nerd I was actually very impressed by his writing.

Plus, his 'wiff waff is coming home' speech had me in fucking stitches too.

I'm wholly apolitical and am very much in the 'they're all cunts' club, so I don't really have any positive or negative to say about his mayoral or parliamentary activities...
