Bumbling Boris Johnson is no diplomat

Op-ed; Bumbling British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is many things but he is no diplomat.

Johnson is a former elected London mayor and was once tipped to lead the Tory government and replace David Cameron as our Prime Minister.

Reports that he was a successful London mayor may or may not be true; that will depend who you ask presumably.

But he is proving disastrous as Foreign Secretary.

This week he cancelled a trip to Russia following an alleged chemical attack on Syrians by unconfirmed forces; it could have been forces of Syrian leader Bashar Al Assad, so-called rebels or insurgents or foreign agents but that list goes on and on.

Johnson however was out manoeuvred by the American administration as their Secretary of State Rex Tillerson opted to go ahead with a visit to Russia.

Mr Johnson instead chose to push members of the G7 for further sanctions against Russia but other member countries refused to be sucked in.

He was left looking the fool once again, this time it was for his political ineptitude. Just how did Mr Johnson become a political high flier?

Boris as he is often referred to by the mainstream media has had something of a charmed political life. He has played the fool to perfection and the mainstream media guffawed along. Our earlier reports include;

• Boris Johnson approves yet more unaffordable London homes
  
• Boris Johnson denies corruption allegations
  
• Boris Johnson crackpot funding for London Garden Bridge
• Water cannons England and fool Boris Johnson
• London for sale to foreign investors in rip off Britain
• Boris Johnson fails IQ test after slamming the poor

March 2015 Johnson accused of Garden Bridge duplicity

Days before Christmas 2014 we reported what we called crackpot funding for a garden bridge over the Thames in London. The jury was out on the bridge especially the issue who would fund it as it would incur hefty ongoing maintenance costs. This week Mayor London Boris Johnson has put his large foot in his large mouth again and the Garden Bridge is back in the news. Appearing on his regular "Ask Boris LBC radio slot" he waffled but is accused of downright lies.As the Guardian puts it "The London mayor categorically denies public funds will be needed for the garden bridge, while pledging taxpayers’ money to prop it up behind closed doors." ........more

November 2015 - Boris Johnson West Bank Cancellations

Blonde Bombshell and London’s Tory mayor Boris Johnson has once again put his foot where his mouth should be. Johnson has cut short a trade visit to the West Bank after saying that advocates of a trade ban against Israel were a "bunch of corduroy-jacketed lefty academics who have no real standing in the matter and are unlikely to be influential on Britain.”He added "those who endorsed it were "foolish" and in a "very small minority." Social media reacted quickly. The majority of his meetings with Palestinian representatives and individuals were cancelled. He had become too big a security risk............ more

April 2016 Boris Johnson part Kenyan description of Pres. Obama

Mr Johnson or as some in the mainstream media like to call him, BoJo, has already shared his opinion that President Obama should not weigh into the UK EU in or out referendum calling it interference. That has since been spun any which way but loose as all camps try to gain political advantage. But Friday he overstepped the mark by using language that could be interpreted as racially offensive to and about President Obama. He opted to write a report for Murdoch's Sun publication which perhaps says it all. In that article he wrote about the removal of a bust of Churchill from the Oval Office noting "Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender......more


Boris Johnson was appointed Foreign Secretary in 2016 by unelected Tory Prime Minister Theresa May. In less than one year both have proved to be an embarrassment.
