This petition was submitted during the 2015 to 2017 Parliament
Rejected petition Ask Boris Johnson to stand down as Foreign Secretary.
Rejected on
The Foreign Secretary has to have the highest possible diplomatic skills and must show respect for people of all countries and cultures. Boris Johnson is not qualified for this position, having referred to black children as piccaninnies and penned a crude poem about the Turkish Prime Minister.
At a time when international tensions are high, to have someone who as a consistent history of offensive and racist gaffes representing the UK at the highest level is not acceptable in any way.
