Storbritanniens udenrigsminister Boris Johnson

Den britiske udenrigsminister, Boris Johnson er forgiftet med had og vrede, så det er skræmmende at han repræsentere en atomvåbenmagt, sagde det russiske udenrigsministeriums talskvinde onsdag.

Maria Zakharova kommenterede på Johnson's tidligere udtalelse, som sammenlignede Ruslands afholdelse af VM i fodbold i indeværende år med 1936 Olympiaden i det Nazistiske Tyskland.

"Nogen sådan parallel og sammenligning mellem vores land, som tabte millioner af liv i kampen mod Nazismen, kæmpede mod fjenden på eget territorium og så befriede Europa [og Nazi Tyskland] er fuldstændig uacceptable," sagde hun i en udtalelse offentliggjort på Facebook.

De russiske talskvinde tilføjede så at sådanne udtalelser er "uværdige for lederen af en europæisk stats diplomatiske tjeneste .. Det er tydeligt, at [Boris Johnson] er forgiftet med had og vrede", sagde hun, idet hun også betegnede hans udtalelser som "uprofessionelle" og "uforskammede."

Det er "skræmmende" at "denne mand er repræsentant for en kernevåbenmagt, som bærer et specielt ansvar for sine handlinger i den internationale arena, så vel som for opretholdelsen af international fred," sagde Zakahrova.

Ville det være uden for sammenhængen at fremdrage eksempler på at Boris Johnson også før er faldet på at fordreje sandheden, når det tjente hans hensigter:

Fra New Statesman 1. juli 2016: Boris Johnson peddled absurd EU myths - and our disgraceful press followed his lead De skriver:

"[...]
Johnson did not invent Euroscepticism but he took it to new levels. A brilliant caricaturist, he made his name by mocking, lampooning and ridiculing the EU. He wrote stories headlined "Brussels recruits sniffers to ensure that Euro-manure smells the same", "Threat to British pink sausages" and "Snails are fish, says EU". He wrote about plans to standardise condom sizes and ban prawn cocktail flavour crisps. He set up Jacques Delors, who was then the European Commission president, as a bogeyman and claimed credit for persuading Denmark to reject the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 with a Sunday Telegraph splash - "Delors plan to rule Europe" - that was seized on by the Nej campaign.

To Johnson, it was all a bit of a jape. "[I] was sort of chucking these rocks over the garden wall and I listened to this amazing crash from the greenhouse next door over in England as everything I wrote from Brussels was having this amazing, explosive ­effect on the Tory party - and it really gave me this, I suppose, rather weird sense of power," he told the BBC years later.

That many of Johnson's stories bore scant relation to the truth did not matter. They were colourful and fun. The Telegraph and right-wing Tories loved them. So did other Fleet Street editors, who found the standard Brussels fare tedious and began to press their own correspondents to follow suit. I know this because I became the Brussels correspondent of the Times in 1999 and suffered the consequences.
