The Tory candidate for Mayor of London - who wants to be in charge of law and order in the capital - saw another of his fraudster mates go to prison today...Former newspaper tycoon Conrad Black started a six-and-a-half year prison term for multi-million dollar fraud.
Boris Johnson provided a character reference for his friend Mr Black and urged a light sentence.
It's not of course the first of Boris's fraudster mates to end up behind bars.
His old Eton school-chum Darius Guppy also served time at Her Majesty's pleasure for fraud.
As I posted last month, Boris offered to provide information to Darius Guppy for the purposes of having a man beaten up.
Yet despite his record in these matters, if he is elected Mayor of London, he intends taking over the running of the Metropolitan Police.
It's not a joke.
