To think Boris should be sacked

Since we have to resign ourselves to this wretched Brexit business, we are going to need all the friends we can get both inside and outside the EU.

Boris seems to think he can swan around the world, shooting his mouth off without caring who he offends.
Mrs May made a serious mistake in making him foreign secretary. It's time she realised that and sacked him.

Russian state television is reporting that Boris Johnson, currently in India, has compared the EU to a concentration camp.

His use of the phrase "punishment beatings"

Is an insult beyond words to anyone who ever suffered one. Or (in my fathers case, as a 12 year old child) forced (along with the rest of the town) to witness one carried out in the town square.

Anyway, this all s,mall potatoes. Aren't we supposed to be concentrating (perhaps I could have chosen a better word Hmm) on uniting behind Theresa May ?

Although, reading this thread, it's possible it's the "wrong" sort of unity ?

Theresa May won't sack him. He's her biggest rival; if Michael Gove hadn't stuck the knife in, he'd probably be prime minister, god help us. Being Foreign Secretary keeps him on a plane 24/7 and when he's not on a plane he's in foreign capitals irritating the locals, all a long long way from the tea rooms of Westminster, plotting and fermenting unrest.

Museum, so, why then froth about it being directed at M. Flanby then, who after all, is on his way out and will have no influence, unlike Trump who tomorrow will become one of the most powerful men on the planet?

He's no more embarrassing and idiotic as Jeremy corbyn though.

Depressing for Britain isn't it? Xxx

Its shocking that a company can be prosecuted for false advertising, but a politician cant be prosecuted for flat out lying.

ExplodedCloud · 19/01/2017 16:22

hopelessly yes. He's out on his own with plenty of rope to hang himself with. It's making sure he isn't plotting at Westminster and making sure he gaffes himself out of contention for the top spot for a long time. He should probably resign from the cabinet but whether his ego will let him is anyone's guess.

YANBU the man is an absolute liability, I'm afraid I have never been able to see anything charismatic about him, what am I not seeing here? Like a pp said its a disgrace that he and toadface Farage were able to get away with their lie about the 300 billion or whatever that would go instead to the NHS, in fact its been all over the news how much of a worse crisis the NHS is in currently. Plus those two fuckers ran away from any responsibility once the brexit result came in, all that campaigning and then what, they both stand down! He should absolutely be sacked and not be given any important political role at all, the mind boggles how he ever got to be foreign secretary in the first place.

I realise I'm setting a low bar here, but he's better than Trump.

I have a friend who loves Boris and thinks he's hilarious. I just cannot talk to her about it anymore, or about politics in general, so we stick to safer topics.

As a host of Have I Got News For You - very funny. Outside of that, he's an utter disgrace and an embarrassment
