Mr Johnson seems to think that he should be the next Secretary General of NATO. I doubt very many others do. But let’s just look at his qualifications for the job.
A man who is a known liar, not trusted by his own party, his own MPs, his own ministers, civil servants or wifes; and for very good reasons.
A “diplomat” so crass that he quotes Rudyard Kipling in public in former colonies and has to be stopped by the local Ambassador.
A man with very close ties to Russian oligarchs with serious questions about his security status and reliability.
A man who apparently leaked details of a top level briefing by French security officials, by mistake.
A man who can’t negotiate for toffee.
A man who wants to break international law and tear up a treaty he personally proposed and cheered to the rafters.
A man who put personal ambition ahead of his country’s best interests and turned it into an international laughing stock.
A man at high risk of being blackmailed or bribed, his sexual and financial affairs are notorious.
A man who is obviously a self-aggrandising, self promoting pile of ego and vanity, who now wants to be the Secretary General of an organisation whose job is to quietly and gently coordinate dozens of proud, independent sovereign states.
A man who is despised by many international figures and leaders.
A man who couldn’t run a whelk stall.
But fear not he may well be our next PM and so, unfortunately, unable to apply.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
As exactingly precise and sharp as ever. God help us all if bojo actually occupies either of these posts - or indeed any other public position ever again.
