If you’re on Twitter, Facebook or any outlet of the internet, you’ll no doubt have heard all about the occasion yesterday when Boris Johnson was given a standard BBC grilling.
I put it like that because Eddie Mair’s interview was not unusual – it was simply unusual for Johnson. It was still not near the level of accusatory interview that Ken Livingstone would be subjected to, for instance. Almost every other politician has to roll with it as their record is savaged, but so far, Johnson has escaped through his media connections, tact and charm.
