It must be his moppish blonde hair, the naughty boy look, or the fact that he is fun, but Boris can run a free blog site with volunteers. He probably has a waiting list of willing girlies happy to help out too.

His very loyal and dedicated blogger Melissa answered my question about how much it costs to run his site, compared to the £6,000 David Milliband’s department paid to set up his.

Melissa got really hot under the collar and said:

“It’s all on a bit of shoestring budget : what makes it great are all of YOU who join us. Volunteers are running it and gave us the site in the first place. So THANK YOU AGAIN for your great contributions, and a tap on the back for us who do the backroom stuff too! Well done. The best things are free.

“I’m outraged at the cost of the Minister’s site and feel strongly it should be banned in favour of a plainer more user-friendly one that would run at a fraction of the currect costs.”
