Express. Macron sensationally calls Boris Johnson ‘a clown’ as Britain described as ‘CIRCUS’
FRANCE should focus on “further loss of life” in the Channel, No10 has said after Emmanuel Macron branded Boris Johnson a “clown”.
According to French media, the President described the UK as a “great country” being let down by its leader. Le Canard Enchaine reported him as saying at a meeting while visiting Croatia: “BoJo talks to me, at full speed, everything’s fine, we have grown-up discussions, and then he strikes us before or after in an inelegant way. It’s always the same circus.”
The President added: “It is very sad to see a great country, with which we could do so much, led by a clown.”
