Boris Johnson slaps down EU Tintin jibe with T-shirt embracing Captain Haddock
Boris Johnson has once again turned heads in his garish garb as he ventured out for one of his regular jogs.
In what seems to be a slap-down to a previous jibe from the EU, he wore an intriguing shirt, which was all in French.
The Telegraph has translated the words on his shirt - and they seem to be references from Tintin.
All the phrases apparently are expressions used by Captain Haddock in the series.
It says: " Blistering barnacles! Shiver me timbers! Landlubbers? Old soak! Lightweight ?! Waffle iron! Coconuts! Wimp! ... Oddball! Scoundrel!..."
The Foreign Secretary wore his interesting T-shirt with a pair of bright blue floral shorts.
Earlier this year, EU officials used Tintin to mock Britain's choice to leave the European Union.
A Brussels source spotted the satirical poster hanging framed on the walls of the European Council’s Brexit task force meeting room.
The image reflects the view among many top EU officials that Brexit is an act of economic self-harm by the UK that will become apparent in the course of the negotiations.
