Boris Johnson allegedly bashed Emmanuel Macron as ‘Putin’s lickspittle’

A livid Boris Johnson once called Emmanuel Macron a “%^&*” and “Putin’s lickspittle” — and threatened to “punch his lights out” in “an orgy of frog-bashing,” according to explosive claims from an ex-spokesman.

The then-UK leader had already found it “nauseating” to see his French counterpart visiting Russian President Vladimir Putin last year in doomed efforts to broker peace, according to Johnson’s then-director of communications, Guto Harri.

But Johnson flipped his lid when Macron, 45, “turbocharged” pressure the British PM was facing over his handling of refugees flooding out of war-torn Ukraine — by “criticizing Boris pretty directly,” Harri recalled in the podcast “Unprecedented.”

Boris Johnson will go down in the record books as most obvious “controlled opposition,” ever.

And BoJo is Biden’s lickspittle. I’ve said from the beginning that this Ukraine war would eventually result in the dissolution of the EU and haven’t changed my mind about that. What does the US or UK have to offer France? Macron wants to continue trade and investments with Russia & China, why shouldn’t he look after the interests of his own country?

I suppose the Brits will say ‘lickspittle’,
while many Americans will say ‘B**ch’ or lapdog.

Massive infighting that no doubt concerns neocons.

Poland, Hungary, Belarus, Austria, etc, etc... EU falling apart over Ukraine.
