I've listened to him a couple of times today. I ignoring the bravado and bluff "London is the greatest city on earth" and "London has the best security of any city in the world" neither of which stands up to too much scrutiny.
Those things aside this guy makes me feel uneasy. I can't put my finger on why.
Anyone else feel the same?

I'd be grateful to hear that. I've been trying to think it through, whether it's the sound bytes without the body language you'd expect to go with it. Didn't seem completely genuine. Or maybe he just appeared to be detached from everything, talking but not particularly thinking. As I said, I don't know really.

And then we can begin the normal cycle where you deny it. Played out so many times before.

I was hoping for some further insight, either in support, with a bit more reasoning than I can muster or otherwise, an opposite insight that might help me understand.
I can't be arsed getting into an argument so if you reply, you'll have the last word. Others will be listened to, of course.

If you mean that he comes across as disingenuous then I agree. I've always thought that of him. He always appears detached as if he's simply saying what you want to hear whilst thinking something entirely different.
That could be way off the mark but it's how he affects me.

If you can't be arsed to get into an argument why did you start this thread? You knew full well it would start one. So if you really can't be arsed I would suggest the best option would be to not parade your views, all be it under a rather inept attempt to disguise them.

You could say that about just about any politician.

It's strange really, how the millions who voted for him as mayor didn't pick up on this. Or if they did, still voted for him.

It's because he is a Muslim. And therefore almost certainly a terrorist. Apparently.

He's a politician and therefore by definition untrustworthy
