Doesn't Boris Johnson ever comb his unruly hair ?

Yes, I know, very trivial secondary to his gobsmacking appointment to Foreign Secretary. I've read that he deliberately messes it up to project his likeable clown image.

of a Developed Nation appointing a person of very limited experience in Foreign Policy as their spoke person and negotiator on the World Stage. Talk about a disaster looking for a place to happen.

Appears Britain and it's subjects need to crab their collective asses and hang on. The Tory's are going to turn Britain into a third world economy as well as a Political nightmare.

"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."

Sebastian Shakespere: Cripes! Boris is a bottle blond, says stylist to the stars

Boris Johnson is still reeling from his public humiliation at the hands of Home Secretary Theresa May, who announced in the House of Commons that she would not let the London Mayor use the water cannon he had bought with £218,000 of taxpayers’ money.

Now the Tory leadership hopeful faces a further challenge to his credibility.

Celebrated hairdresser Heinz Schumi claims Boris’s world-famous blond mop is a forgery. ‘I’m telling you, it’s bleached,’ says the crimper, whose Chelsea clients include actress Jenny Agutter and novelist Jilly Cooper.

I went to see him give a speech, and when the spotlights shone on his hair, it was kind of orangey — it doesn’t go light enough. Also, when hair is bleached, the follicles are broken so you manipulate it how you like — this is what Rod Stewart did, so I am absolutely certain he bleaches it.’

but not in the way you are thinking. It is part of his image - he probably spends a fair amount of time making sure it is stylishly disheveled.
