If that's the quality of work he has been producing throughout his career then I'm a little surprised he wasn't fired long before this.
    That's simply because you don't like or agree with the ambassadors assessment. There is not a good way to put that assessment and no matter what words he used to define Trump and his enept, insecure, and incompetent administration, you'd of had the same reaction.

      So you're saying that there is no way he could have written a petty and deliberately insulting memo without it sounding petty and deliberately insulting.

      By the way, part of the reason he resigned is because the incoming PM refused to defend this "diplomat's" unprofessional conduct. Good for the new PM!

            You should try them in the "tartar" range...

            • Only Sanders should be bluer!
            • Just walk the cow past the grill.
            • It should still have a blood pressure.
            • Like a good political commentator!
            • Like a true statement by Trump.

            The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

            • Boris under fire.

              Although he defended the civil service during Tuesday's ITV leaders' debate, Mr Johnson conspicuously refused to back Sir Kim.

              This went down badly with many MPs, even before it emerged Sir Kim had quit.

              The suggestion that Mr Johnson's lukewarm endorsement may have contributed to the veteran diplomat's decision to stand down has turned that dismay into visceral anger.

                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
