Watch former UK minister Boris Johnson hilariously fumble his speech on Portugal and World War II
‘Cut this for a second, what did we do in the Second World War?’
Former Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson sparked incredulity on the internet when he managed to get most of his facts wrong while filming for a video for his own twitter page.
Behind the scenes footage of the video from BBC’s show Inside the Foreign Office showed Johnson speaking in Portugal during a recent visit there. His aides kept correcting him – for instance, when he forgot what the UK’s position was during World War II, and when he claimed “Portugal is our fourth biggest trading partner”, when it was the other way round.
And don’t miss the part about James Bond.
