My general view too... 
Earlier in the week, I read a post on the BBC's "Have Your Say" message boards which denounced Nick Robinson and Andrew Neil as "typical BBC lefties" for having the temerity to want to ask Boris Johnson some vaguely serious questions.
Yes: the Nick Robinson who was President of the Conservative youth group, and the Andrew Neil who edited the Sunday Times and wrote for the Daily Mail... 
Fun fact: Andrew Neil was editor-in-chief at Press Holdings which owned various publications including The Spectator. Editor of The Spectator at that time? One Boris Johnson...
