Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary

[Gromit]

Oh dear - What The Funicular?

[Gromit]

New Judge,

Farage an MEP, not an MP. Of course I knew that, D'oh!

Still reeling about Boris as Foreign Secretary. Can't figure out why she has done that. Cameron an Osborne to oblivion, that is telling.

[Old_Geezer]

I don't see why not. Experience in other ministerial roles need not prepare you any better for interacting with foreign countries. Have a mild level of that previously helps.

// Jeremy Corbyn has apparently appointed himself as "Shadow Brexit secretary" (rather appropriately perhaps as "shadow Brexiter" probably just about describes him
Oh dear, I hear he's just tendered his own resignation to himself //

What ever you are taking - stop immediately

Pleased to see Davis back in government. Brexit will be safe in his hands. As to Boris - an inspired choice. Nothing for Leadsom, though, and what about Gove?

"Boris Johnson - Foreign Secretary"
Indeed, talking of comedy shows!

[Ellipsis]

New sitcom ...

"BoJo of the FO"

Channel 4, Weekdays at 7PM

^ this :-)

Jackdaw - I really hope that Gove keeps Justice. He's been doing very well with reform of the prison system and has dug himself in.

Boring speaks eight languages, so that must be a bonus!

[anneasquith]

8? He struggles with English :-)

Has anyone else noticed that the childhood photo of him floating around the internet bears a passing resemblance to Myrah Hindley...

//hey netibiza - keep out of this - we don't want any EU foreigners in our business;-) //

Quite right but not as bad as inter galactic spaced out morons living on another planet.

this has to be the man to represent Britain at the highest diplomatic levels

Boris as Foreign Minister. I'm happy with that. He pee'd off the yanks so at least he has the cajones to show that other foreign Premiers with other backgrounds(Kenyan) will not walk over us . I refer to the President that said we would be at the back of the queue prior to Brexit if we won the vote. Thanks for the threats ally.
Who's laughing now cookie boy? You will soon be out of politics and Boris stays in politics.

Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread, but, Gromit, that was my first thought on seeing BJ as FS. What is happening to this country? They've all gone mad.

[Jackdaw33]

Perhaps in future it might be wise to stick to Boris rather than BJ, which is open to misinterpretation.

[jno]

peeing off the Yanks isn't always a great idea. Monty peed off Eisenhower so much during the war that when he became president he refused to have anything to do with Britain's disgraceful Suez venture (and quite rightly).

[Cloverjo]

Ok, I thought everyone would know who I meant, though. ;)

LOL at that zipwire pic. I remember seeing one of my favourite Youtube comments in response to BJ getting stuck and dangling halfway once:
"I wonder if someone bashed his head in loads of sweets would drop out".
