Shame we have yet another Foreign Secretary that displays bad manners, bad judgment & a remarkably poor grasp of diplomacy. Hardly the sort of comments he made today (or indeed by other MPs in your party likening the EU to Soviets or Nazi gaolers to aid a good deal.

To be clear. We have had enough of the crass poor judgment and absence of respect. The absence of high quality planning. The lies and deceits. The absence of care for our country. The casual insults (The republic of Jam Jar and the like). You lot need to get a grip -Fast

Lord Ricketts, and Sir Simon Fraser are both no longer members of the Diplomatic Service, of which I was also a member. There is no bar on our expressing our opinion of current politicians. I agree with them both. May I also add that I don’t think much of you either
-
Well said Sir! I have never been so ashamed of what now passes for a UK government.
-
Me neither.

What’s extraordinary is our Foreign Secretary making risible and outrageous comparisons that insult and demean our friends allies and the real suffering made by many of them under the USSR. And May harps on about wanting respect.
-
Does he mean sending its armed forces in like the USSR did in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and the military coup it instigated in Poland? Hunt must be deluded if a) he thinks they want to do that or b) has the capacity to. This government is incompetent.

Had you the professionalism of Peter Ricketts, you might understand just how incendiary Hunt's stupid speech was. The Latvian Ambassador clearly doesn't think it's Rickett's who's damaging the reputation of the diplomatic service.
-
Latvian Ambassador: "Just FYI - Soviets killed, deported, exiled and imprisoned 100 thousands of Latvia's inhabitants after the illegal occupation in 1940, and ruined lives of 3 generations, while the EU has brought prosperity, equality, growth, respect."

So you say...but he was spot on, wasn't he? And when it comes to reputational damage..well.

No he wasn’t. Learn some history.

Are you sure you're reading this carefully enough?

No, I hadn’t. Apologies...
