That's what I'm talking about.

Twitter (for instance) is awash with people who want him to meet his demise, so it's not accurate to say that "no one wants him killed".

He's a daft eejit who could do with growing up. & he's happy to risk his people's safety because all evidence points to him having never given a fig about anyone in his life except slim possibly his daughter Ivanka. He's basically inviting a second 9/11 in retribution.

And still not a word from our so-called Prime Minister.

Is there any answer he could give that wouldn't make things worse?

I mean let's be honest, the reason for the quiet from Johnson is largely because unsurprisingly we're in the dark. The USA are supposedly one of our biggest allies yet imo it's pretty clear that we were only briefed either as it was happening or after it happened. Now as much as I dislike this Tory cabinet, I'd largely say the majority of them want to avoid a war and provately feel the act commited by the USA was pretty reckless. But we're in a situation now where we have our balls on a stick if we want a "magnificent" trade deal.

if anything this act just proves to me that other countries have us by the balls, we need them more than they need us so it's going to be difficult to flex our nationalism on the larger stage.

A simple message echoing what every other Western leader has set out would have done nicely, perhaps more ambiguously worded so as not to offer support outright.

No doubt though those in charge of the UK, who've already proved themselves callous towards innocent citizens, especially the poor, will end up treating this like a RPG and open up the British public to a direct retaliation attack from Iran. Just because they can't keep their mouths shut and play the diplomacy game like everyone else is doing.

Seems as if the Foreign Secretary was the UK's spokesperson this morning, on Sky and Marr too. No need for Boris to speak really.

That might have been vaguely acceptable if the Foreign Secretary was someone of stature who commanded respect. Unfortunately, it is a man who didn't know that Dover-Calais was an important trade route.
