The Quotable Mr Johnson

“I was going to follow a policy of openness, transparency and individual freedom. No disrespect, it’s just that there are times when you have to take a stand”
-Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, on leaving his suit unbuttoned at the Olympic closing ceremony, much to the chagrin of his Chinese hosts.

What a noble cause to make a stand for! And such sacrifice! He truly speaks out against sartorial oppression around the world, and gives us all the courage to stand up to the fascist dictates of fashion.


We all know that the Fashion Police have been getting more aggressive of late, but till now, no-one has dared challenge them. Boris, I salute you.
