Note for non-British readers: Boris Johnson is the Mayor of London, not the Lord Mayor of London. The latter is a largely ceremonial and supportive role concerned only with the ancient City of London, the square mile containing the financial district.
Left a comment on the original article but it was removed. Disappointing to see such pointless inaccuracy on a website devoted to a subject where nuance and precision count for so much. I could have understood getting it wrong the other way round, but the author - a lawyer educated in the UK - had to actually add a word in to make it incorrect.
- emckiernan 14y agoYour comment's still there, and he's corrected the phrasing.
- scrumper 14y agoHuh, it wasn't when I posted this several hours later. Thanks for pointing that out! Can't edit my comment above so will let it stand. For the record, I'm glad they changed it and I apologise for coming across a bit strong above.
- kunvay 14y agoNo problem. We fixed it. Our blog is new and the moderated comments default was still on our wordpress. Fixed now. Thanks for heads up on the mayor's title correction.
