Boris Johnson rugby tackle a ten-year-old during match in Tokyo

Boris Johnson got carried away while playing touch rugby in Japan and knocked over a 10-year-old child. The boy, Toki Sekiguchi, said he only “felt a little pain”, which seems to demonstrate a better level of diplomacy than Boris can muster.

Boris has got form for this kind of thing – here he is in 2006 delivering a headbutt to the nutsack of a German ex-international footballer during a charity match.
