Button up please

London's mayor Boris Johnson has defended his relaxed attitude to the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony, revealing he had ignored requests by Chinese officials to button up his jacket for the big event.


"I am sad to see that some Chinese bloggers are now attacking me for my 'lack of respect', since there was no disrespect intended," he added.

Wang Qishan dio una demostración de elegancia y conducta que junto a Boris Johnson y su imagen desarreglada despidieron una china delicada y educada frente a una Inglaterra que poco promete de Dandys y mucho de Fish&Chips.
