On his father's side Johnson is a great-grandson of Ali Kemal Bey, a liberal Turkish journalist and the interior minister in the government of Damat Ferid Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, who was murdered during the Turkish War of Independence.[5] During World War I, Boris's grandfather and great aunt were recognised as British subjects and took their grandmother's maiden name of Johnson. In reference to his cosmopolitan ancestry, Johnson has described himself as a "one-man melting pot" — with a combination of Muslims, Jews and Christians comprising his great-grandparentage.[6] His father's maternal grandmother, Marie Louise de Pfeffel, was a descendant of Prince Paul of Württemberg through his relationship with a German actress. Through Prince Paul, Johnson is a descendant of King George II, and through George's great-great-great grandfather King James I a descendant of all of the previous British royal houses.
.Johnson was born in New York City,[7] but his family returned to Britain soon afterwards, as his mother had yet to take her Oxford University final exams.^New York City .

In 1987 he married Allegra Mostyn-Owen but the marriage was dissolved in 1993.[11] Later that year, he married Marina Wheeler, a barrister, the daughter of journalist and broadcaster Sir Charles Wheeler and his Sikh Indian wife, Dip Singh.[12] The Wheeler and Johnson families have known each other for decades,[1] and Marina Wheeler was at the European School in Brussels at the same time as her future husband. They have two sons—Milo Arthur (born 1995) and Theodore Apollo (born 1999)—and two daughters—Lara Lettice (born 1993) and Cassia Peaches (born 1997).[13] Boris Johnson and his family currently live in Holloway, North London. Boris's current stepmother, Jenny, the second wife of his father Stanley, is also the stepdaughter of Edward Sieff, the former chairman of Marks & Spencer.[14]
Journalism and history
Upon graduating from Oxford, he only spent a week as a management consultant at L.E.K. Consulting:
“
Try as I might, I could not look at an overhead projection of a growth profit matrix, and stay conscious.
”
He then became a trainee reporter for The Times. Within a year he was sacked for falsifying a quotation from his godfather, Colin Lucas, later vice-chancellor of Oxford University.[15] After a short time as a writer for the Wolverhampton Express & Star, he joined The Daily Telegraph in 1987 as leader and feature writer, and from 1989 to 1994 was the paper's European Community correspondent. He served as assistant editor from 1994 to 1999. In 1995 a recording of a telephone conversation was made public revealing a plot by a friend to physically assault a News of the World journalist. but he retained his job at the Telegraph. .There was no evidence that Boris intended to provide information that would facilitate the assault of the journalist, even though he promised under pressure to provide this information.^The filming stopped so there is no more direct video evidence, but eyewitnesses said on camera later that she was manhandled to the ground, cuffed and taken to the Station.

His association with The Spectator began as political columnist from 1994 to 1995. In 1999 he became editor of The Spectator, where he stayed until December 2005 upon being appointed Shadow Minister for Higher Education.
He wrote an autobiographical account of his experience of the 2001 election campaign Friends, Voters, Countrymen: Jottings on the Stump. He is also author of three collections of journalism, Johnson's Column, Lend Me Your Ears and Have I Got Views For You. His comic first novel Seventy-Two Virgins was published in 2004,[16] and his next book will be The New British Revolution, though he has put publication on hold until after the London Mayoral election.[17] He was nominated in 2004 for a British Academy Television Award, and has attracted several unofficial fan clubs and sites. His official website and blog started in September, 2004.
After being elected mayor, he announced that he would be resuming his weekly column for The Daily Telegraph. The Guardian reported that he had agreed a £250,000 annual salary for doing so. The report added that he will donate £25,000 each towards two scholarships: one for students of journalism, and the other for the teaching of classics.[18]
Political career
After having been defeated in Clwyd South in the 1997 general election, Johnson was elected MP for Henley, succeeding Michael Heseltine, in the 2001 General Election. He described this election in his 2002 book, Friends, Voters, Countrymen. In 2004 he was appointed to the front bench as Shadow Minister for the Arts in a small reshuffle resulting from the resignation of the Shadow Home Affairs Spokesman, Nick Hawkins. He was also from November 2003 vice-chairman of the Conservative Party, with an emphasis on campaigning.[19]
.Johnson was dismissed from these high-profile posts in November, 2004 over accusations that he lied to Michael Howard about a four-year extramarital affair with Petronella Wyatt, The Spectator's New York correspondent and former deputy editor.^As a society we did move from status to contract over the course of about 300 years but the high watermark of contract was mid-twentieth century.

He was appointed Shadow Minister for Higher Education on 9 December 2005 by new Conservative Leader David Cameron, and resigned as editor of The Spectator soon afterwards. On 2 April 2006 it was alleged in the News of the World that Johnson had had another extramarital affair, this time with Times Higher Education Supplement journalist Anna Fazackerley. The video[21] shows him emerging from her flat and waving to her in a taxi. .Subsequently, in a speech at the University of Exeter concerning student finance, he allegedly made comical remarks about his gratitude to the audience for not "raising other issues" during the talk, which may have been a reference to the allegations.^This is about *respect* - and those who project themselves as having affinity with a community where there is much talk about 'dissing' as in disrespecting other people.

[23] His presence as candidate caused an unprecedented turn-out and sparked an "Anyone but Boris" campaign.[24] Protests included having drinks thrown over him at his first of two visits to the student body.[23][25] Johnson eventually polled third of four, with 2,123 votes, behind 3,052 votes for journalist Magnus Linklater and 3,597 for Green Party MSP Mark Ballard.[24] Johnson was quoted as having been pleased to mobilise the student body, but disappointed at the personal campaign against him as an "English top-up fee merchant".[24]

After several days of speculation, Johnson announced he was a potential Conservative candidate for the London mayoral election in 2008 on 16 July 2007.[27] Reported as saying[27]
“
The opportunity is too great, and the prize too wonderful to miss ... the chance to represent London and speak for Londoners
”
he resigned as Shadow Minister for Higher Education. He was confirmed as the Conservative candidate on 27 September 2007 after gaining 75% of the vote in a public London-wide primary.[28]
The Conservative Party hired Australian election strategist Lynton Crosby to run Johnson's campaign. .Aware of Johnson's propensity for committing gaffes, Crosby prevented him from holding interviews with the print and broadcast media in favour of radio talk shows and daytime television which asked "easier" questions.^But, to forgive, one has to ask, show remorse or penitence and back it up with commitment not to offend again.

[29][30] Crosby also made Johnson tell fewer jokes and have a simpler haircut to help make him appear more serious.[29] The campaign targeted Conservative-leaning suburbs in outer London to capitalise on a sense of detachment with the Livingstone administration which had focused on inner London areas.[30]
His campaign was launched in Edmonton in March 2008 when David Cameron, introducing Johnson, commented "I don't always agree with him, but I respect the fact that he's absolutely his own man."[31]
His manifesto was published in sections; they were, together with quotes or general content:

I believe Londoners should have a greater say on how their city is run, more information on how decisions are made and details on how City Hall money is spent.
Ken Livingstone presides over a budget of more than £10billion and demands £311 per year from the average taxpaying household in London. Yet Londoners have little confidence in the Mayor spending their money with care and prudence.

Johnson's candidature received opposition from across the political spectrum. .Right-wing journalists Simon Heffer and Peregrine Worsthorne described Johnson as not being serious enough to hold the role of Mayor of London,[40] Worsthorne noting that the "harder he tried [to be serious], the more insincere, incoherent, evasive and even puerile he looked and sounded".[41] Ken Livingstone described Johnson as "a joke".[42]Left of centre commentators claimed that Johnson was not suited to be Mayor of such an ethnically diverse city because he had previously made comments which they interpreted as racist,[43] a situation exacerbated when the British National Party urged its supporters to give their second preference votes to Johnson.^Login or register to post comments Re: Mayor of London Links Video Games to Wave of Stabbings Submitted by Chuma - June 20, 2008 at 6:54 pm -0500 No. They really really aren't.

Though most pollsters—with the exception of YouGov which accurately forecast the final result—predicted either a close result or narrow win for Livingstone,[48] it was announced on 2 May 2008 Johnson had garnered a total of 1,168,738 first and second preference votes to Livingstone's 1,028,966.[49] Johnson benefited from a large voter turnout in Conservative strongholds, in particular Bexley and Bromley where he amassed a majority of over 80,000 over Livingstone.[50] Following his victory, he praised Livingstone as a "very considerable public servant" and added that he hoped to "discover a way in which the mayoralty can continue to benefit from your transparent love of London".[49] He also announced that, as a result of his victory, he would resign as Member of Parliament for Henley.[51]
He celebrated his election victory at Altitude 360 located in Millbank Tower. It was here that David Cameron and all his supporters gathered to congratulate him on becoming Mayor of London.
.Johnson assumed control at City Hall on 4 May 2008. He appointed Richard Barnes as his Deputy Mayor on 6 May 2008, as well as appointing the following to newly devolved offices; Ian Clement as Deputy Mayor for Government Relations, Kit Malthouse as Deputy Mayor for Policing and Ray Lewis as Deputy Mayor for Young People.^Morocco is still a police state run by a tiny minority of people connected with the royal household as a result of which young Moroccans emigrate en masse.

[54]Hazel Blears, the UK Communities Secretary, said that "People across the country will note that after just two months, the new Tory administration in London is in complete disarray. Londoners need to know what Boris knew and why the situation has changed."[55]Kit Malthouse however, London's Deputy Mayor for Policing, defended Lewis and said that he had "dedicated himself to saving young lives in London", regarding his policies on tackling knife crime, and called the Labour Party "ungracious" and accused them of "dancing on his political grave".[56] Johnson himself said that he was "misled" by Lewis.[57] On 22 June 2009, Ian Clement resigned after breaking rules by paying for personal items using a corporate credit card.
Alcohol use ban on public transport
.On 7 May 2008, Johnson announced plans to ban the consumption of alcohol on the London transport network, effective from 1 June,[58] a policy described by Jeroen Weimar, Transport for London's director of transport policing and enforcement, as reasonable, saying people should be more considerate on the trains.^June 20, 2008 MCV reports that London Mayor Boris Johnson has mentioned violent video games in relation to a wave of knife crime plaguing Great Britain.

On the final evening on which alcohol was to be permitted on London transport, thousands of drinkers descended on the Underground system to mark the event. Six London Underground stations were closed as trouble began, and a number of staff and police were assaulted. Police made 17 arrests as several trains were damaged and withdrawn from service.[59]
Forensic Audit Panel
The formation of the Forensic Audit Panel was announced on 8 May 2008. The Panel is tasked with monitoring and investigating financial management at the London Development Agency and the Greater London Authority.[60] It is headed by Patience Wheatcroft, former editor of The Sunday Telegraph. Previously the GLA investigated allegations of financial mismanagement itself.
.Johnson's announcement was criticised by Labour for the perceived politicisation of this nominally independent panel, who asked if the appointment of these key Johnson allies to the panel - "to dig dirt on Ken Livingstone" - was "an appropriate use of public funds".[61] Wheatcroft is married to a Conservative councilor[62] and three of the four remaining panel members also have close links to the Conservatives: Stephen Greenhalgh (Conservative Leader of Hammersmith and Fulham Council), Patrick Frederick (Chairman of Conservative Business Relations for South East England and Southern London) and Edward Lister (Conservative Leader of Wandsworth Council).^I live in North London, and, quite frankly, Mr Johnson, if you want to stop the wave of stabbings on the streets then give these kids a future.

The panel reported in July 2008.[63] Its findings included that it had "identified failings in the LDA’s leadership, governance and basic controls which have led to our overall conclusion that the former LDA board was ineffective" and also raised a number of concerns about the value for money achieved on projects that the LDA had funded. However, on the central allegations that the previous administration had misused their powers, the Panel found "their attempts to influence LDA project decisions did not breach any rules or protocols".

Resignation of Sir Ian Blair
In October 2008, Boris Johnson forced the resignation of the Commissioner of Police of the MetropolisIan Blair, hours after taking control of London’s police authority. Those in support of this measure claimed that Blair's handling of certain events, such as the death of Jean-Charles de Menezes,bonus payments and bias in favour of a piece of Government legislation left his position untenable, but critics have argued that the forced resignation makes the role of the commissioner more political.[68][69]

In the 2001 general election he was elected to the <a href="/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="House of Commons of the United Kingdom">House of Commons</a> and became one of the most high profile politicians in the country, partly because of his distinctive appearance and persona. He gained praise for several appearances on the <i>Have I Got News for You</i> television programme, but received negative headlines in October 2004 after an editorial column in <i>The Spectator</i> criticised the people of <a href="/Liverpool" title="Liverpool" class="mw-redirect">Liverpool</a> after the death of Kenneth Bigley.

</p><p>Under <a href="/Michael_Howard" title="Michael Howard">Michael Howard</a>, Johnson briefly served on the Conservative front bench as the Shadow Minister for the Arts from April 2004 until November 2004 when he was sacked after allegedly lying to Howard when denying he had had an <a href="/Affair" title="Affair">affair</a> with Petronella Wyatt.

</p><p>On his father's side Johnson is great-grandson of Ali Kemal Bey, a liberal Turkish journalist and interior minister in the government of Damat Ferid Pasha, <a href="/Grand_Vizier" title="Grand Vizier">Grand Vizier</a> of the <a href="/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman Empire</a>, who was murdered during the Turkish War of Independence.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4" title="">[5]</a></sup> During <a href="/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, Boris's grandfather and great aunt were recognised as British subjects and took their grandmother's maiden name of Johnson. In reference to his cosmopolitan ancestry, Johnson has described himself as a "one-man melting pot" — with a combination of <a href="/Muslims" title="Muslims" class="mw-redirect">Muslims</a>, <a href="/Jews" title="Jews" class="mw-redirect">Jews</a> and <a href="/Christians" title="Christians" class="mw-redirect">Christians</a> comprising his great-grandparentage.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5" title="">[6]</a></sup> His father's maternal grandmother, Marie Louise de Pfeffel, was a descendent of Prince Paul of Württemberg through his relationship with a German actress. Through Prince Paul, Johnson is a descendent of King <a href="/George_II_of_Great_Britain" title="George II of Great Britain">George II of Great Britain</a> and through George's great-great-great grandfather King <a href="/James_I_of_England" title="James I of England">James I of England</a>, a descendent of all the previous British royal houses.

Johnson's sister Rachel was born a year later. As a child, Boris Johnson suffered from severe deafness and had to undergo several operations to have grommets inserted in his ears, and was reportedly rather quiet as a child.<sup id="cite_ref-Gimson_0-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gimson-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> He was educated at the European School in <a href="/Brussels" title="Brussels">Brussels</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7" title="">[8]</a></sup> Ashdown House and then at <a href="/Eton_College" title="Eton College">Eton College</a>, where he was a King's Scholar. He read Classics at <a href="/Balliol_College,_Oxford" title="Balliol College, Oxford">Balliol College, Oxford</a>, as a Brackenbury scholar, and was elected President of the Oxford Union, at his second attempt. Frank Luntz<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8" title="">[9]</a></sup> and Radek Sikorski<sup id="cite_ref-Gimson_0-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gimson-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> have claimed Johnson touted himself as a supporter of the Social Democratic Party, then a dominant current at the university, as a strategy to win the Union presidency, though Johnson denies he was more than the SDP's preferred candidate. Along with <a href="/David_Cameron" title="David Cameron">David Cameron</a> he was a member of Oxford's Bullingdon Club, a student dining society known for its raucous feasts.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9" title="">[10]</a></sup>
</p><p>In 1987 he married Allegra Mostyn-Owen but the marriage lasted less than a year, finally being dissolved in 1993.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10" title="">[11]</a></sup> Later that same year he married Marina Wheeler, a barrister, the daughter of journalist and broadcaster Sir Charles Wheeler and his <a href="/Sikh" title="Sikh">Sikh</a> <a href="/India" title="India">Indian</a> wife, Dip Singh.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11" title="">[12]</a></sup> The Wheeler and Johnson families have known each other for decades,<sup id="cite_ref-Gimson_0-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gimson-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> and Marina Wheeler was at the European School in Brussels at the same time as her future husband. They have two sons—Theodore Apollo (born 1999) and Milo Arthur (born 1995)—and two daughters—Lara Lettice (born 1993) and Cassia Peaches (born 1997).<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12" title="">[13]</a></sup> Boris Johnson and his family currently live in Holloway, North London.
</p>
<a name="Political_career" id="Political_career"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> Political career </span></h2>
<p>In 2001, Johnson was elected MP for Henley-on-Thames, succeeding <a href="/Michael_Heseltine" title="Michael Heseltine">Michael Heseltine</a>, having previously been defeated in Clwyd South in the <a href="/United_Kingdom_general_election,_1997" title="United Kingdom general election, 1997">1997 general election</a>. In 2004 he was appointed to the front bench as Shadow Minister for the Arts in a small reshuffle resulting from the resignation of the Shadow Home Affairs Spokesman, Nick Hawkins. He was also from November 2003 vice-chairman of the Conservative Party, with an emphasis on campaigning.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13" title="">[14]</a></sup>
</p><p>Johnson was dismissed from these high-profile posts in November, 2004 over accusations that he lied to <a href="/Michael_Howard" title="Michael Howard">Michael Howard</a> about a four-year extramarital affair with Petronella Wyatt, <i>The Spectator'</i>s New York correspondent and former deputy editor. Johnson derided these allegations as "an inverted pyramid of piffle", but Howard sacked Johnson because he believed press reports showed Johnson had lied, rather than for the affair itself.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14" title="">[15]</a></sup>
</p><p>He was appointed Shadow Minister for Higher Education on 9 December 2005 by new Conservative Leader <a href="/David_Cameron" title="David Cameron">David Cameron</a>, and resigned as editor of <i>The Spectator</i> soon afterwards. On 2 April 2006 it was alleged in the <i>News of the World</i> that Johnson had had another extramarital affair, this time with <i>Times Higher Education Supplement</i> journalist Anna Fazackerley. The video<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15" title="">[16]</a></sup> shows him emerging from her flat and waving to her in a taxi. Subsequently, in a speech at the University of Exeter concerning student finance, he allegedly made comical remarks about his gratitude to the audience for not "raising other issues" during the talk, which may have been a reference to the allegations. A report in <i>The Times</i><sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16" title="">[17]</a></sup> stated that Cameron regarded the possible affair as a private matter, and that Johnson would not lose his job over it.
