Boris Johnson Gaffes

Boris Johnson has gaffed again, telling reporters on Tuesday that George Osborne's strategy to deal with the eurozone crisis is "crazy".

"It's absolutely crazy to think that the solution of the eurocrisis is to intensify fiscal union. We're living in a fools paradise", he said.

The Mayor of London's comments came as he lunched with Westminster journalists. But the chancellor should not feel too bad - it's not the first time Johnson has rallied against his own government's policy.

See below for a slideshow of Johnson's best blunders.

"The President is a cross-eyed Texan warmonger, unelected, inarticulate, who epitomises the arrogance of American foreign policy."

In what sense was this statement a gaffe?

Even Boris gets it right sometimes.

Whatever bricks you want to throw at Boris - he's one of the more amusing politicians out there. I have no problem with someone who is quite happy to take himself not too seriously - I prefer that any day over the God complex and arrogance of others.
