More quotes by Boris Johnson
I dont see why people are so snooty about Channel Five. It has some respectable documentaries about the Second World War. It also devotes considerable airtime to investigations into lap-dancing, and other related and vital subjects
Boris Johnson
I have not been more robust towards female rather than male assembly members and I do not believe I have been remotely sexist.
Boris Johnson
When my father began his work in the 1970s it was a very different EU. I pay tribute to what he did. But it has now become a very different proposition: the United States of Europe.
Boris Johnson
Do you seriously propose that they are going to be so insane as to allow tariffs to be imposed. The EU is, I'm afraid a job destroying engine. You can see it all across southern Europe, you can see it, alas, in our country.
Boris Johnson
We need to remember that we can't compete endlessly with other nations that set their income taxes substantially lower than ours. They will attract jobs, and investment. They may generate more tax - and they may even persuade their tennis champs to run that extra half yard
Boris Johnson
The volunteering spirit of Londoners is part of what makes this the best big city on earth.
Boris Johnson

Boris Johnson
The dreadful truth is that when people come to see their MP, they have run out of better ideas.
Boris Johnson
In 1904, 20 per cent of journeys were made by bicycle in London. I want to see a figure like that again. If you can't turn the clock back to 1904, what's the point of being a Conservative?
Boris Johnson
Some people play the piano, some do Sudoku, some watch television, some people go out to dinner parties. I write books.
Boris Johnson
He is like some sherry-crazed old dowager who has lost the family silver at roulette, and who now decides to double up by betting the house as well.
Boris Johnson
These days we dimly believe that the Second World War was won with Russian blood and American money and though that is in some ways true, it is also true that, without Churchill, Hitler would almost certainly have won.
Boris Johnson
Nothing excites compassion, in friend and foe alike, as much as the sight of you ker-splonked on the Tarmac with your propeller buried six feet under.
Boris Johnson
I'm no communist.I'm a tax cutting Conservative. But I want a capitalism that is fairer to forgotten people.
Boris Johnson
Life isn't like coursework, baby. It's one damn essay crisis after another.
Boris Johnson
I am hoping very much to get re-elected but it is going to be a tough fight.
Boris Johnson
It hasn't taken them long, they began by telling us they would have a positive and patriotic case and they're back to project fear within minutes. There they go again they have nothing positive to say.
Boris Johnson
London is a fantastic creator of jobs - but many of these jobs are going to people who don't originate in this country.
Boris Johnson
If gay marriage was OK ... then I saw no reason in principle why a union should not be consecrated between three men, as well as two men or indeed three men and a dog.
Boris Johnson
I want you to know that I have nothing against Orlando, though you are, of course, far more likely to get shot or robbed there than in London.
