Over at Boris Watch we find a clip of the Johnson/Lewis press conference...
The short clip shows Ray denying all knowledge of the things he is being questioned about. Boris looks increasingly agitated and pulls a great face at the end of the clip; I'd like to imagine he's thinking, "I'm the one who doesn't know anything about what he's being questioned about, not you! You haven't even got any blond floppy hair to ruffle so people let you get away with it!"
Although it obviously reflects badly on all concerned, I'm very suspicious about the timing of all this seeing as these allegations date back many years and Ray Lewis has been a community activist for years before Boris appointed him.

He pulls a face because his mobile was going off, you can here the interference with the microphones.
