Yep, surely! And judging out of your full comment. Should we accept that one as a major <deleted>up, then, rather than a minor slip?

No, we should note GK as a welcome voice of sanity in contrast to your hysterical witterings.

Brain fart...that’s all.

Hell, our president does it all the time... he’s got a real brain gas problem!

His wife probably called him a  right Stupid <deleted> that night ?

As a constituency MP this bloke did sod all when contacted about frozen pensions by fellow brits with Asian wives....

He looks like a prefect who has caught someone having a fag behind the bike sheds whenever I see him being interviewed on TV, Utterly smug and bereft of the needs of his constituents ?

Hysterical witterings? How articulate, one must be.
But, of course. I get it. You also have problem with nationality of your spouse?

Would you still be one of his "constituents" , if you are living in Thailand ?

Its not just "Brits with Asian wives" , its Brit who have emigrated 

[Jonmarleesco]

No doubt his wife had something to say about that. More's the pity the electorate can't - at least for the moment.

- I was until the 15 year rule kicked in and will shortly be someone else's when that old chestnut is abolished as planned.

- and many who haven't.

This just says what the standard of politicians running this country is like and if others often make the same ''mistake'' well maybe they deserve these

idiots, as no matter how busy people I know have been, I cannot  recall any of them coming out with statements like this, maybe not busy enough...…LOL LOL.. 

He was trying to show the Chinese, how clever he was. Speaking in a foreign language when they probably speak very good English.

Nothing wrong with that. It's being polite and to show an effort to learn something from your opponent's culture.

 

English is a foreign langue for most of the people in the world.

Load of fuss about absolutely nothing.

You really wan't to see fireworks?????

Call your wife your ex-wife's names when in company.

 

I did.  At first it was all quiet, then she left the party without a word.

That night I slept in another room and kept the door locked...

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

I know guys who can’t tell Japanese from Chinese language, or Chang and Wang from Hashimoto and Matsuzaki although they lived in Asia 12+ years and have banged every type of Oriental Woman. I find that bizarre and indicative of a colonial cultural attitude.

 

But his own wife!, this must just be a slip of the tongue after a long flight and maybe too much Moët Chandon at the reception.

And in a meeting with the Filipino Ambassador he said we are still considering your extradition request for Yingluck...

Now if he was a female politician we could have said that many an expensive wardrobe started out with one little slip.

Jeremy Hunt, for a moment, thought that his Chinese wife is Japanese. That's an easy mistake to make, Japanese and Chinese do actually look almost the same.
 

Yes _ I'm sure Boris would agree that all oriental ladies look the same !

 

Just as all  farang  men look the same to Thai ladies - unless they have a moustache or beard. I mean the farang ?
