All these pathetic media witch hunts need to end. Boris is Boris and I prefer to have a gaffe prone MP running the foreign office than that ghastly rude vile creature, called Emily Thornberry, who attacked a white van man on Twitter, a few years back, his crime: for being patriotic, in his own country during an international football tournament and putting up an English flag.

'Boris is Boris' is not sufficient excuse for his 'gaff' either. Words matter and he can't keep claiming exemption because of his personality. If Iran do use his words to extend a British citizens detention then that is far worse than making a comment about a flag.
