JSP: Are you prepared for what’s going to be slung at you as this election campaign gets under way? Your past is going to be raked over. What about drugs? In an interview, you said, ‘I’ve snorted coke, but I sneezed.’

BJ: I thoroughly disagree with drugs, and…

You smoked dope before you went to university.

That’s true, but the stuff you and I may have smoked is not the same as what the kids are having now. I think skunk and this stuff is very, very dangerous.

Well, you’re a father and you’ve got four children.

I don’t want my kids having drugs.

…You said in interviews that you’ve snorted coke.Well, that was when I was 19. It all goes to show that, sometimes, it’s better not to say anything.

Brilliant stuff. Always good if a journalist can encourage their subject not to speak…

“Oysters for everyone!” says Boris. “I promise to oysterize all of south London!”
