Ladies and Gentlemen: I present to you the new british foreign minister.

“Hillary Clinton has got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.”

“Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British empire, of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender,” he added.

...

In May, Johnson won a prize for most rude poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan from the Spectator magazine which organised a contest in support of a German comedian facing charges for mocking the Turkish leader.

...

Writing about then Tony Blair’s globetrotting ahead of a visit by the then prime minister to Africa in 2002, Johnson said he would be hailed by “flag-waving piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”.

“No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas (machetes) will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird,” he wrote.
