Boris Johnson will represent Britain on the world stage as Foreign Secretary

Possibly because of Obama calling the Falkland's the Malvinas thereby siding with Kirchner and disregarding the wishes of the Islanders. Or maybe for calling France their greatest ally when the first country they phone for back up when the US wants to go to war is us. Referring to BP as British Petroleum (a name it hasnt gone by in years) and nailing it to the wall after the Deeepwater Horizon incident caused by a botched cement job carried out by three American companies (Transocean, Halliburton, Weatherford) or maybe its just because he rocked up telling the British people what we should do about the EU when a) no one asked him b) America would never surrender its soveriegnty in such a fashion and c) its none of his business.

As a Brit I like Americans. Been there many times and its an amazing place. I served alongside American forces and have nothing but respect for them. But as far as I am concerned the next time you want to go start a war and need help, because the only one you have ever won on your own had the word civil in it .. Call France.
