Why do British people chant “Bring Back Boris”?

[Juliette96]

What do they mean and why do they enjoy doing so?

I chant it at the tube stop every morning. It's the Northern Line, though.

Has anyone chanted it in a bagel bakery? I'm just on my way there.

The who did a song about him
Boris the spider.
Creepy crawly

You win best comment of the year 😂 😀 😂

I met him once.

I shout it at 6am and 6pm sharp every day.

Did you chant at him, or are you not "a Brit"?

I'm sorry, but I just don't think that you'll ever truly understand if you're not British. Hopefully you can a sense of his importance to the very essence of being British from some of the replies though.

Never mind Boris, bring back the laugh emoji 😆

Turns out everyone at the Bagel Bakery was chanting it, too.

Are you a journo OP?

In Scotland we say it to keep away the bogles

"Forgive Me..Forgive Me..Forgive Me"...

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂

Because he was such a great tennis player and yes, a womaniser too who maybe likes a store cupboard, but to think of a ginger-haired German getting to the top at Wimbledon?

Well, we will never see his like again.

I have to say… that was impressive! Sorry I can’t alliterate it back at you!

It's a chant from Cuntalini yoga.

Love it!! 😂😂😂😂

I'm not an idiot, let's put it that way.

Oh yes, conceiving a child in a restaurant store cupboard. What an extraordinary man.

I hope you didn't say that to Boris.

You have a lot of questions op.

Where have you gone?

She'll be out on the street, joining in all the chanting.

Well I could hardly chant 'Bring Back Boris' because at the time I met him, he was PM and hadn't gone anywhere he needed bringing back from iyswim.
