You may continue assassinating his character.
Please keep quotes, on record.
just for you"They've got a brilliant vision to turn Sirte, with the help of the municipality of Sirte, to turn it into the next Dubai,” he said.
"The only thing they've got to do is clear the dead bodies away and then we'll be there."
Tory leader Michael Howard forced the MP to visit Liverpool to apologise in 2004 after he blamed fans for Hillsborough - and accused citizens of “wallowing in victim status”.
and lets not forget:The former journalist wrote a lengthy Spectator column in 2002 headlined "cancel the guilt trip".
It argued Africa "is a mess" with "too many people dying" but it was unfair to blame the bloody legacy of British colonialism.
He concluded: "The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty."
Showing the supposed superiority of those "colonial powers" 14 years later, he memorably called Africa "that country". Africa is a continent of more than 50 countries.
and of course:"And one comment I would make is I think an awful lot of money and an awful lot of police time now goes into these historic offences and all this malarkey.
"You know, £60 million I saw was being spaffed up a wall on some investigation into historic child abuse."
and of course, godwins law reared its head:During the 2016 EU referendum campaign Boris Johnson compared the EU to Adolf Hitler - saying they both wanted a united Europe.
“Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically,” he wrote. “The EU is an attempt to do this by different methods.”
Hilary Benn, who was the shadow foreign secretary, said the comparison was "offensive and desperate".
But Boris Johnson refused to apologise over what he called an “artificial media twit storm”.
and business fears of brexit ?Boris Johnson ranted “f*** business” over Brexit at a reception to mark the Queen's birthday.
The Foreign Secretary was said to have uttered the reply in 2018, at an event for EU diplomats, when he was asked about business leaders' fears over leaving the EU.
He and allies repeatedly refused to deny using the phrase.
Instead a source said he was “attacking lobbyists like the EU-funded CBI who are more interested in doing what's right for big multinational corporations."
tbh this was the one that really got me :Boris Johnson faced a storm in July 2019 for refusing to stand up for Britain's Ambassador to the US.
Sir Kim Darroch quit after Mr Johnson failed to promise he could keep his job over leaked memos about the "inept" White House.
Mr Johnson - who stands to gain by installing a more pro-Brexit envoy - was accused by a serving Foreign Office minister of throwing the diplomat “under the bus”.
He later confessed he was a "factor" in the diplomat's resignation, adding: "I probably should have been more emphatic that Kim personally had my full support."
