Re: Boris Johnson
The trouble with Boris to me is .
He shoots from the hip, speaks his mind at times he tells the truth that others are scared to say.
Ok he acts a bit funny at times , but he is not afraid to laugh at himself,
In other words he is human, and not a well heeled snob. Don't ever judge a book by it's cover .
Good luck to him.

Will he be a good Foreign Secretary and to the benefit of Britain? From what I have read he has in the past thrown quite a few insults around. Any information would be most welcome. Does Theresa May know something we don't? Or is he being set up?

Well John, He has his first opportunity to show us all what he is made of, Lets see what a reception and his handling of the Military Coup in Turkey.
I wouldn't advise him to land on a zip wire with two union jacks in his hand he will go down like a lead ballon. Terry.

Re: Boris Johnson
Many thanks for all of the information on Boris. I certainly know a lot more about him that I did yesterday. Everybody seems in agreement that he will do a good job which is quite reassuring. Again thanks ladies and lads.

Re: Boris Johnson
I saw the smug grin on the American politition, er whats his name then French Minister, er whats his name and the othe Euro Politionsn whose names elude me forever. They were all talking about Boris Johnson the new Foreign Secretary for the United Kingdom.There I do remember his name. Perhaps the show of distain and negative replies show that deep down they are frightened of him and his no doubt superior interlect and Political skills compared to their own.

Re: Boris Johnson
Boris, portrays an image of a buffon, how many times have we met people who play the fool to cover up their intelligence.
Foreign Secretaries, beware, I believe that he will run rings round his opponents.
