The interview was a disgrace.
Michael Howard and Eddie Mair and anyone else in the universe had NO right to question Boris on his private life. Yes, Boris was stupid to lie about the affair when questioned, what he should have done is told Howard and Mair to mind their own damned business.
I dont fully understand where Mair was going with regards to the 'Darius Guppy' incident, but from what i can ascertain, Boris never supplied the address, and nobody was assaulted.
Nobody in the universe gives a damn what Conrad Black thinks so bringing that up was pointless.
Trolling up an event which took place 25 years ago when Johnson was a TRAINEE at The Times reveals absolutely nothing about his integrity as a politician or as Mayor of London. If Mair wanted to question his integrity why could he not have come up with something more recent and less gossipy.
The final straw, to just flat out insult someone on National Television, calling them "a nasty piece of work". Mair should be forced to apologise for that remark if nothing else.
EDIT: I also disagree with those who think that Mair is the successor to Jeremy Paxman.

Are you actually serious? Of course we have the right to know if this man is serious about becoming PM, which he is!
No right to question Boris on his private life? Michael Howard seemed to disagree which is why he sacked him isn't it? Eddir Mair's style is fantastic, as well as being extremely fruitful. We'll definitely be seeing more of him on Newsnight.
