Jon Benjamin, a former UK High Commissioner to Ghana and Mexico, has been sacked from his diplomatic post after a controversial incident in Mexico. Apexnewsgh reports

Benjamin, known for his provocative political commentary, was accused of “jokingly” pointing an assault rifle at a local embassy employee during an official trip to northern Mexico.

This incident was the final straw in a career marked by controversy. Benjamin was previously labeled “most reckless” during his tenure in Ghana, where he sparked outrage with a tweet perceived as mocking then-President John Mahama.

Benjamin’s Twitter page, once active and controversial, has now been made private, and his previous tweets are no longer accessible. The UK government’s website has removed him as the Mexico ambassador, listing him only as “former” High Commissioner.

Benjamin’s diplomatic career spanned several countries, including Turkey, Indonesia, and the United States, but his controversial behavior has finally led to his dismissal. His actions have raised questions about the boundaries of diplomatic conduct and the consequences of reckless behavior.
