Blunders at Boris’s crime launch

Daily Telegraph:

Boris’s criminal blunder
It wouldn’t be Boris without a bit of a shambles.

and The Mirror, picking up on Boris’s past involvement with Darius Guppy:

Bumbling Boris can’t get his story straight
It seemed like a reasonable question to a man who wants trusting with solving London’s crime ills.

“Are you sorry you helped a friend plan a violent assault on an enemy?” I asked Boris Johnson (in a few more words) at the launch of his crime policy.

I was referring to the taped conversation of Tory mayor candidate Boris and old Oxford university dining club pal (and convicted fraudster) Darius Guppy, in which they plotted to nobble someone who had crossed Guppy…

To rapturous applause from the Tory faithful, he ignored the question and instead called on the Mirror to apologise first for a front page story we had supposedly run about his campaign HQ.

One problem. That was a Guardian story.

UPDATE: Boris Johnson has a problem keeping the law himself.
