Nice deflection...

In his defense (?) many were urging him to resign before this gaffe....

The article quotes, "making an offensive joke about sex tourism to Thailand – which has notoriously involved the abuse of children."

 

First of all, I am not defending the abuse of children.

But, for a journalist to talk about sexual abuse of children as though it was a problem peculiar to Thailand?

What about the girls who were sexually abused in Rotherham (UK) while the local council for years continually ignored the problem and ignored the multiple reports submitted to them about it? That's one sexual abuse problem closer to home that is now being ignored, in order to make a cheap jibe at the expense of Thailand.

 

Ah yes, good point.  So when they are reporting on his speech they should also point out what happened in Rotherham, makes sense.  No wonder I never made it as a journalist.

My thoughts exactly - what he said was hardly a lie and lets be frank about it, a fair number of those tourist have gone on to marry the lady (or man) who made their eyes pop in the first place!

that's right...who is kidding who?...we all know more than half of Thailands female population has their goods on display and available for sale with hopes of landing that big fish and a better life...but in the meantime they earn what they can off it...whats the big secret?..we all know its happening..whats with pretending its not?

Try a little research about him and WW2 then you can answer your own question

I was referring to Boris Johnson as it seemed you were defending him.

While I don't care for this joker, did he say something that was untrue? The numbers are perhaps exaggerated?

If the country looked after society more then this problem of which we do not speak and does exist would not be there. Its only there because people need money to live. mainly poor people who rich people don't worry too much about. Boris should ask the PM to take him for a stroll round Pattaya and look out for the ladies who can do amusing tricks with ping pong balls.

You replied to a post that mentioned Prince Philip as the only thrust of that particular post

I doubt Boris served in the Royal Navy during WW2

 

 

Prime case of twisted facts...

 

 

Look at the source of the article: a minor Scottish newspaper that advocates an Independent Scotland and is strongly anti-Brexit. They'll do anything to take a swipe and any pro-Brexit Ministers, and Boris Johnson, let's admit it, is an easy target.

 

All-in-all it's a non-story.

I don't want to split hairs but I replied to a post in a thread about Boris Johnson that said people should be judged by their actions not their words, thereby implying that Boris' words were not important - rather his actions should be.  Nowhere in your post did you mention the Royal Navy or WW2.

 

Anyway now we've sorted that out I think we're in agreement; Boris Johnson is an incompetent buffoon, a liar, a self interested shameless creep and should not be allowed anywhere near the political office he currently occupies.  Prince Philip did something good in WW2.  There we go.  Thank you.

One would be hard pressed to name any quality deeds enacted by Johnson

I was talking about they way the article was written. I did say, "for a journalist to talk about sexual abuse of children as though it was a problem peculiar to Thailand".

 

Hoohah over absolutely NOTHING.

He needs to do something with the ridiculous hairdo....a bit like Trump's.  Am suspecting he either has a large birthmark on the forehead or his mummy used to comb it this way!

“As I have just discovered we have more than a million who go to Thailand every year, where according to our superb consular services..."

 

There's been a re-shuffle of the staff at the Embassy, then?

What BoJo said was non-controversial.

 

Certainly a sackable offence under the Trade and Description Act to announce Consular Services as "superb" when they are clearly not.

This doesn't even mention people coming over here for the hookers.

You didn't know there is no prostitution in Thailand and prostitution is illegal.

At least he did not lie as most politicians do.

That man should have been sacked long time ago.

Gambling is illegal, so is selling alcohol out of prescribed hours, leaving the house without wearing underwear (true).

 

My mistake, gambling is OK when the government run a lottery scheme. But then it's officially described as  "a game of chance" (true again).

Ah yes.  I didn't check the names, I just assumed you were the one who originally replied to me.

 

As you were.

Man’s unfit for his role. 

 

His comment promoting the sexual exploitation of others is not something a foriegn secretary should be doing. 

 

Yes, it happens, we all know that, but seriously, to make light of it in a way that might be fine in the “old boys club” is one thing, it’s quite another to do so when making a major speech on brexit. 

 

Sack him.
