But if I was what I would probably do now is -
With reference to my blog post of 3 May entitled I Love London. I'm really very, very sorry for my comments and for offending anyone who was offended.
I deeply regret my actions and statements and I am now committed to rectifying my mistakes and making up for it by publicly apologising and retracting my statements.
However, I am not Boris Johnson.
I believe what I wrote and I am still devastated by the outcome. I do not take any of it back. The post has been edited as I am a little embarrassed that I could not control myself and censure myself.
I do not usually use such language in public. I understand and accept that people are offended by that language but this my blog and I did not write it to provoke or offend. I wrote it because it is what I felt. I am glad that people read it. I feel sure that I will not use language like that again, though, for the following reason.
I am a little annoyed that I was a bit squiffy when I heard the result and this combined with my anger made me act too quickly and I produced a less than eloquent diatribe that does not adequately reflect my IQ nor my my understanding of UK political processes.
That said the post certainly did reflect what I was feeling. I am sorry if you were offended but I meant every word of it.
Boris Johnson will make a terrible London Mayor and I am sure his actions will prove me right in the coming months and years.

I'm sure I speak for many in saying how much I enjoyed and appreciated your post on the election results - and I was sure in need of something to enjoy. Please don't feel bad!
Um, I'm very late to the party, but I wanted to say that I'm surprised you felt the need to write this post!
I appreciate that some people found the tone offensive, but I think you addressed their concerns in the comments. I can only guess what the edited version looked like, but I don't doubt that it is what most of us are thinking.
Now, what I WOULD like to challenge, is the, ahem, "very little swearing" in the shop. Or maybe it's just me who does the swearing?

I voted for Boris and still didn't feel offended by your post. (I didn't read the original, only the edited version.) It is your blog - why censor yourself? I love your shop, by the way.
hi all (nice to hear from you knitelly)
thanks for you comments. I do admit to feeling a little embarrassed which is why I wrote the second post.
We never swear! especially in the shop! nudge nudge wink wink.
I am sure there will be no swearing on Saturday during the results of the Eurovision.
