who wouldn ' t lose their patience with this guy ? he ' s an idiotIn a particularly damning statement , German minister Manfred Weber described Johnson as unbelievable and said that he had lost respect for the foreign secretary over contradictory statements he has made about Turkey . Johnson argued during the Leave campaign that one of the reasons Brits should vote for Brexit is to avoid being part of a Union that would soon include Turkey , but in September said he would back Turkey ' s bid for EU membership . He . in the Brexit campaign , had leaflets showing Turkey , Syria and Iraq as possible members of the EU , making people afraid of the possible new migration waves . Then a few weeks afterwards he is travelling to Erdogan and offering support for becoming a member of the EU . It is a purely arrogant provocation from Johnson when he is telling us what we have to do . I cannot respect anymore what he is doing . Last week , Italian minister Carlo Calenda said he felt insulted by Johnson after the Tory MP suggested Italy should push for Britain to remain in the European Single Market otherwise it would be forced to sell less prosecco . look at him , he ' s fucking with the EU . not only that , but he ' s trying to sabotage it .
