Is Boris thick?

Sunny reckons that Boris Johnson doesn't "know his head from his arse". This is because he was apparently unaware of the whereabouts, or even sure of the existence of, a memorandum of understanding between London and central government. The memo turned out to be available on the Culture Department's website.

This strikes me as a bit odd.  I mean, the mayor's office presumably has civil servants working there. Why couldn't they tell Boris where to find a copy of the memo? Or didn't he ask? 

More to this than meets the eye, I would say.

Many of Ken's staff are still working in the Mayor's office, would it be too far-fetched to imagine that they might not have Boris's best interests at heart?

Oh I'm sure that's right. The fact that nobody in the MSM is saying so is a bit of an indictment really.
