BoJo as Foreign Secretary

[PerryGunn]

Cracking appointment by TM - have a distinct feeling that Boris may ruffle a few diplomatic feathers :lol:

Boris Johnson, the new Foreign Secretary, might have some explaining to do when he meets the Turkish President in his new role. Back in May, Boris bagged first prize for his entry in the Spectator’s President Erdogan Offensive Poetry Competition. Here’s his prize-winning poem:

There was a young fellow from Ankara
Who was a terrific wankerer
Till he sowed his wild oats
With the help of a goat
But he didn’t even stop to thankera.

And Boris might now be wishing he hadn't referred to Hillary Clinton as 'a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital'

Maybe he'll get to share a taxi with the Home Secretary after the firms Xmas do!

Presumably he wouldn't be doing the driving... :wink:

Well I've got a bit depressed over recent political events, but have developed a wtf attitude in the last couple of days. FTSE 100 doing well and currency recovering.

Bring on Boris, at least he has enthusiasm for the job.

Makes more sense now, I thought Bojo bailed when he probably negotiated a seat at the big table.

Is Bojo the Tyrian lanaster of the political GOT.

As foreign secretary he'll have to travel the world so Teresa won't have to put up with him around number 10 all the time.

Good move from TM I think.

Yep, as long as he can stop making as many gaffes as Phil The Greek :lol:

He should be good at promoting the UK but all the real power will remain in the Cabinet Office...

Perhaps this is his pre-negotiated reward for stepping away from PM job??
Hope he stays the same old Boris,breath of fresh air and I look forward to his many (s)exploits..........I don't take politics very seriously

He'll be sacked when he slips the tongue on welcoming Angela Merkel

 

[Spikey]

What a farce - celebrity meets politics - House of Commons getting like the big brother house

 

[slick]

Dont underestimate Boris.......hes a viper in a clowns suit

Sauerkraut of the highest order.

This could either be complete genius by TM, giving not just Boris, but Davies & Fox enough brexit rope to hang themselves with....


... or it could just be 3 really bad decisions.

Interested to see if he tackles foreign ministers like he does foreign footballers
