Is he upsetting the French people or just their Embassy staff though? The fact that he visited that Embassy on his first day in office might just be a boost for Mme le Pen's presidential and Frexit push next year.

The British are globally famous sailors. We like anything Marine. Get me? It'll be interesting to see if Johnson or his boo-ers are still in employment a year from now.
There is a rumour going around whitehall that Boris's appointment was a mistake. Therese May had a list of all the tory MP's as potential cabinet ministers and after Boris's name she wrote FO. Some one mistakenly took it to mean Foreign Office. Its true I tell ya
Love that Private Eye Top Gear gag. With May as PM and Hammond as Chancellor, who are we getting at the Foreign Office? Not too far off as it happens...
Funniest quote I have seen over the past few weeks was a french minister describing british politics at the moment as being like "Game of Thrones meets Monty Python"
