Jeremy Hunts gaff

Can't you wheel them out any better than this - come on come on we all know the difference in many ways between China and Japan [yes well OK they are both 5 letters - but beyond that]

Hi

He is, allegedly, one of our better ones.

We are not blessed with an abundance of skill and ability at the present time.

well when I saw the video clip I thought it was his wife sitting next to him and thought - she doesn't look either Japanese or Chinese but could have been Chinglish?

Re: Jeremy Hunts gaff

My wife is Portuguese but I tell people in Portugal she's Spanish, what's wrong with that?

I only do it to pose the question, the ultimate wind-up: "but Portugal belongs to Spain, doesn't it?"

Perhaps Hunt's punchline is: "but China belongs to Japan, doesn't it?"

He's only been married 9 years. You know what it's like in the early days, you don't waste time on small talk ... you know, things like erm where did you spring from my darling?

Re: Jeremy Hunts gaff

To be fair he was talking to them in Japanese and got his words mixed up. Unfortunate but forgivable.
