No, I'm pretty sure that all the Kingstons in the world are not united. There's one here in Canada, there's one in Jamaica...

So what is Boris' "Buck a Beer" policy?

Hey, I could go for that!

I'm just popping out to talk to John Sawers and see what Eliza is doing these days.
I'll be auditioning former members of the Parachute Regiment who wish to make a name for themselves for a wee job that needs doing shortly.
Applicants can apply by leaving a burner contact number in the usual far cubicle of the gents toilets on the platform of Waterloo Station.
This is absolutely NOT a set up and you will most assuredly not be found in close proximity to a recently fired rifle in a book warehouse in the near future.

Fame and fortune await.

Now where is that close protection officer's number?

Condi must be right, there -- it was just confirmed by Murica's First Lady and presumptive Secretary of State/UN Ambassador:

Go on, I don't care about being obvious - that's what Condi was referring to in the first place.
You'll be telling me there's a guy in Niger selling Yellow Cake Uranium to Iraq next.

There’s another in South Australia, which helpfully they have distinguished from its competitors by adding the letters ‘SE’ after the name. Presumably South East, although with crow eaters it might just as well have been a dyslexic attempt at the acronym for South Australia. To further mark itself out from the pack, the burghers of this earthly paradise have ornamented their main drag with a fifty foot fibreglass lobster. No doubt handy for those left wondering as to the absence of reggae music and why the population all appear to be white and severely constipated. I can only assume that Canada’s Kingston has no giant sculpture of a crustacean?

We're better than that! There's actually two, Kingston South East and Kingston on Murray in the Riverland. there's also the suburb of Kingston Park.

All named after one of the founding fathers or his son.

Your guide to the new cabinet.
Can't complain about these torys not being multi skilled.

Oops. Well, it was news to me.

I can only speak for Kingston, Ontario, when I say no. As I haven't visited the Kingstons in PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia & Newfoundland, all of whom are in maritime provinces, I don't know if they do. But the one in Ontario has the tail end of the Rideau canal, Fort Henry and Sir John A. MacDonald's law office.

There are five Kingstons in Canada, one in Jamaica, one in New Zealand, nine in Australia, twenty-one in Britain (including the original Hull), and thirty-four in the United States. If Boris is PM of all that, hopefully his experience as Lord Mayor will help with running things (or not).
