On Boris Getting Rid of Sir Ian Blair

I remember when the Left regarded Boris as a buffoon. Clowns, we were told, belong in the circus.

By ridding London (at last) of the hapless Sir Ian Blair - when there was no direct power of dismissal and flat against the wishes of the Home Secretary (no less) -demonstrates political skills of very highest order.

One may perhaps disagree with Blair going; but one no longer can dismiss Boris as an effective politician.

Apart from Blair himself and labour politicians, does anyone regret his imminent departure?

He should have gone after the De Menenez shooting.

Not because of the shooting, but the lying aterwards.
