Boris Johnson defends calling gay men 'bumboys' claiming comments were 'wholly satirical'

I think if you look at each of every one of those articles… the quotations have been wrenched out of context in some cases to mean the opposite of what I intended,” Johnson said.

He added that comments made in previous articles referring to African people as having “watermelon smiles” and gay men as “bumboys” had been made in “a wholly satirical way.”

What complete and utter bollocks....there is nothing satirical about what he said, period.
