Sketch: At least there was some truth to Bojo’s latest gaffe
BUMPTIOUS Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has once again shown that he only opens his mouth to change feet by inadvertently exposing the shameful relationship between Britain and Saudi Arabia.
Ironically his latest gaffe, at an international conference in Rome, was caused by the most unlikely of occurrences — him actually telling the truth.
Something of a novel departure for the Cabinet’s clown in chief and not one he will be likely to repeat, one would imagine.
