How can Johnson be reading this with a straight face.

God knows. Good to see the Archbishop of York slip a couple of barbs in.

Ah, I can’t watch any news at the mo but those clips of BJ getting booed has warmed my cockles Grin

I read a comment on Reddit earlier that the jubilee crows were made up of tories on a day out so that must’ve stung…. Actually probably not, he’s probably already branded them as deep cheers in his head.

Cornettoninja · 03/06/2022 12:02

Crows/crowds - whatever works for you Grin

Cornettoninja · 03/06/2022 12:03

What did the archbishop say?

References to working for the public good, service before self, integrity. Sadly they didn’t show the PM’s face.

Fine choice of lesson.

@StPaulsLondon today, during the #PlatinumJubilee service, the Prime Minister will read Philippians 4.4-9, including: ‘Whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure…think about these things.’

Strike while the #irony is hot.

I imagine that booing will shred a few more nerves in CCHQ - they can't write that crowd off as a leftie mob.

I also think that it may serve to bump up Graham Brady's postbag.

Cornettoninja · 03/06/2022 12:15

Thank you!

They'll have a good try at it though:

That’s a parody account - Micky Take. 😂

I always enjoy Sir Michael's tweets Grin

I confess that I only realised after I'd posted it. They're all so bloody batshit these days it can be hard to spot

Hearing the National Anthem played so much it makes me think we should bring back the verse about "confound their politics, frustrate their knavish tricks, on thee our hopes we fix, God save us all".

ancientgran · 03/06/2022 14:30

@BringBackCoffeeCreams Horrific isn't it, I mean nothing seems too extreme and crazy so it is easy to believe they'd say something ridiculous because they do. Frequently.

Peregrina · 03/06/2022 15:44

The booing at catcalling is much noisier on the BBC clip. Obviously live, so they didn't have time to clean it up.

And the bit about "may she defend our laws."

Roussette · 03/06/2022 16:35

Johnson cannot fail to have heard the boos and jeering. It cannot be blamed on a lefty crowd because these are Royalists through and through, the ones at the front had camped out after travelling far and wide
This is what the public think of him plain and simple

Blossomtoes · 03/06/2022 16:37

If he’s being booed by those people, he’s in deep shit. It must have really shaken him.

Piggywaspushed · 03/06/2022 17:12

I imagine Boris thinks it's Carrie they are booing.
