Has there ever been a bigger idiot as British Foreign Secretary? Here he is again: https://www.theguardian.com/politic...-on-camera-reciting-kipling-in-myanmar-temple Quote: The foreign secretary has been accused of “incredible insensitivity” after it emerged he recited part of a colonial-era Rudyard Kipling poem in front of local dignitaries while on an official visit to Myanmar in January. Boris Johnson was inside the Shwedagon Pagoda, the most sacred Buddhist site in the capital Yangon, when he started uttering the opening verse to The Road to Mandalay, including the line: “The temple bells they say/ Come you back you English soldier.” Kipling’s poem captures the nostalgia of a retired serviceman looking back on his colonial service and a Burmese girl he kissed. Britain colonised Myanmar from 1824 to 1948 and fought three wars in the 19th century, suppressing widespread resistance. And he's hoping to become Prime Minister......total embarrassment. He's a US citizen, maybe we could get rid of him that way. Any offers?
