TEHRAN, Jun 17 - Tory prime minister candidate Boris Johnson has a laundry list of gaffes across his career, spanning from his time as Foreign Minister to UK prime minister Theresa May to dodging questions over his cocaine use whist at university – statements which were first made on the BBC's "Have I Got News For You" in 2005.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -As Mr Johnson continues to, quite convincingly, argue his case for the position of No 10, here are the top five of his most controversial statements made towards Heads of State across the world and others, some of whom he would have to face and actually try to form productive working relations with as the UK's potential next Prime Minister.

- "She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital".
- "It's time to think of supporting Hillary, not because we necessarily want her for herself but because we want Bill in the role of First Husband".
- "And if Bill can deal with Hillary, he can surely deal with any global crisis".
The Tory Party and the whole country of Papau New Guinea, 2006
- “For ten years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing, and so it is with a happy amazement that we watch as the madness engulfs the Labour Party"."The only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump.""There was a young fellow from Ankara/ Who was a terrific w**kerer
