Scottish MP slams PM hopeful Johnson as racist, says he is unfit to govern UK

[PRESSTV] The top Scottish member of the British parliament has denounced the main candidate seeking to become the country’s next prime minister, saying he is a "racist" who cannot be trusted to lead the United Kingdom.

Ian Blackford said during a Wednesday debate of the House of Commons that Johnson, who is leading the Conservative Party leadership race by a large margin, had a well-known record of insulting communities in the UK.

"Does the prime minister realize, not only is the member racist, he is stoking division in communities and has a record of dishonesty?" said Blackford while posing a question to outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May.

Blackford resisted a call from the Commons speaker John Bercow to withdraw his comments about Johnson, who is a current member of the parliament.

"The member has called Moslem women ’letterboxes’, described African people as having ’watermelon smiles’, and another disgusting slur that I would never dignify by repeating," said the Scottish MP, adding, "If that’s not racist, Mr Speaker, I don’t know what is.

#1 "If that’s not racist, Mr Speaker, I don’t know what is.

OK, you don't know what is.

Have they started calling BoJo Hitler yet?

#2 If Boris Johnson is as racist and unfit to govern as Donald Trump, then he will probably do OK. I personally would have gone with resurrected undead zombie Winston Churchill, but that's just me.
