So, Boris Johnson is indeed our new Foreign Secretary.

If that sounds bad enough, consider that there’s a long list of countries he’ll have to apologise to before he even gets going.

So we decided to compile the ultimate list.

The United States

Just a few months ago, Boris Johnson wrote that President Barack Obama was “incoherent, inconsistent and downright hypocritical” and his removal of a Churchill bust was a symbol of “part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British”. As ITV reported last night, the President’s foreign policy team read and was deeply offended by Boris Johnson’s article.

That’s not all. In 2007 he said Hillary Clinton looked like “a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital“. He went on to say she reminded him of “everything I came into politics to oppose: not just a general desire to raise taxes and nationalise things, but an all-round purse-lipped political correctness.”

And if you think he’ll be ok if Donald Trump gets elected (*shudder*), he said of the other floppy-haired buffoon: “the only reason I wouldn’t go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.”

Their State Dept. spokesman actually smiled when they heard of the announcement yesterday.

You can almost hear the internal screams and laughter from the US State Department on the news of @BorisJohnson pic.twitter.com/MnBfoFk8gR — Meanwhile In Scotia (@MeanwhileScotia) July 13, 2016

China

In 2008, Chinese media attacked BoJo for for being ‘rude, arrogant and disrespectful’ at the 2008 Olympic ceremony. He also said: “Virtually every single one of our international sports were invented or codified by the British. And I say this respectfully to our Chinese hosts, who have excelled so magnificently at Ping-pong. Ping-pong was invented on the dining tables of England in the 19th century and it was called Wiff-waff!”

They weren’t pleased.

Germany

A few months ago, BoJo described Angela Merkel’s (wrong) decision to prosecute a German comedian who insulted the Turkish President as “sickening”.

He added: “She numbly decided to kowtow to the demands of Erdogan, a man who is engaged in a chilling suppression of Turkish freedom of expression.”

France

He described a French minister’s claims the migrant camp in Calais could move to Britain if the UK leaves the EU as “complete nonsense”

Turkey

In a poem about Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – who is a NATO cally to Britain, BoJo called him a “wankerer”. Erdogan is not a nice man, but they are still allies and we have to work with them. Erdogan will not take such insults lightly.

All of Africa

In 2002 he wrote: ” 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 [about colonialism].”

That’s not all…

Papau New Guinea

In 2006 he wrote:” For 10 years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing.” They were not happy.

Scotland

As editor of The Spectator, he published a poem that called Scots, “a verminous race“.

But…

On the plus side he has praised Vladimir Putin and Syria’s Basha al-Assad for re-taking Palmyra from ISIS. Great allies to have! He also wrote in 2006 that Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons. He’ll be welcomed there too!

And don’t forget

When Boris Johnson visited Iraq, the Foreign Office had to ‘mop up’ after him after correspondence showed Johnson left his bar bill unpaid and was denied request to visit frontline.

We didn’t even include all the times he has insulted the EU – our closest military, economic and cultural allies.

Is there any we missed out?

Maybe Theresa May should have listened to her own advice, when she ridiculed Boris just two weeks ago
