Doomed to fail

ACCORDiNG to the Peter Principle, people rise to their level of incompe-tence. David Davis appeared ill-prepared and out of his depth in the Brexit negotiations.

Boris Johnson is not unintelligent,

but his buffoonery falls far short of the requirements to be Foreign Secretary.

He lacked a sense of occasion in his dealings with foreign dignitaries, dresses shabbily and exhibits a woeful lack of tact. His inability to compromise at any level shows a degree of arrogance. Name supplied, Totnes, Devon.
