Boris Johnson

From today's GT Made me chuckle this morning. No3 from Rumsfeld I think should be at No1!

Notoriously language-challenged Bush romped to the top accolade for his: “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
Second came bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-California governor Schwarzenegger, who during an election campaign in 2003 minted the puzzling: “I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.”
The rest of the top 10 in the poll, commissioned by an insurance company after it won an award from the Plain English Campaign, were:

Away ya wee Scots... I'm painting my KIA Red and White for the day....

ENGLAND will be painted red and white today as millions salute the patron saint.
Thousands of events are planned to mark the national day in one of the biggest St George’s celebrations in recent years.

Culture Secretary Andy Burnham has instructed all Government departments to fly the famous red and white flags while church leaders have ordered parishes to ring out their bells in honour of St George.

Proud Bishop of Rochester Rt Rev Dr Michael Nazir-Ali urged clergy to hold dedicated services. He said: “St George came to personify the importance of conscience at the time people in England were beginning to emphasise the value of liberty.

Cripes! Boris's plan to celebrate St George (and to blazes with what the PC brigade think)

By Simon Walters and Brendan Carlin

London Mayor Boris Johnson is to defy the politically correct brigade by staging a week-long festival in the capital to celebrate St George’s Day, with the red and white cross of England’s patron saint flying proudly from his City Hall offices.

The move follows a series of incidents in recent years in which people have been banned from displaying the English flag on the grounds that it is racist and could offend Muslims because of St George’s association with the Crusades.
