In the very first post of this thread I can go straight to Godwin’s Law: Boris Johnson compares Russian World Cup to Hitler’s 1936 Olympics (Guardian).
Next.
Are we to read your comment as some sort of concurrence with de Pfeiffel's opinion that the country that lost some 25 million of it's people actually fighting and defeating Nazi Germany is in fact comparable to Hitler's regime?Actually a Labour MP, Ian Austin, made the comparison first and Boris agreed with him. In these days of political acrimony it's good to see some cross-party consensus for a change.

Glad to hear it tovarishch!No. You should read it that, in this specific case, I do agree with what he actually said rather than your interpretation of what he said. Boris is an atrocious diplomat, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Too right...
Ha! When I saw the thread title, I thought,”it’s gonna be a short thread”! Who was the wallflower on the Conservative benches who said “Boris is a character. We need more of them in politics”?
Can't we test out this Novichok theory, by releasing a statement to the fact he is a former Russian double agent?
