Booing Boris. AIBU to say he deserved it?

[newnamethanks]

I'm not a boo-er, it doesn't come naturally to me. Yet thinking of the photo of the queen, alone, at her husband's funeral contrasted with his snivelling 'apology' for tolerating depraved behaviour in his workplace together with his other contemptuous behaviour over the course of parliament, I'd have found it hard to resist. His presence just seems like adding more insult to injury.

I just watched it - bloody hell that was quite a sight and sounds experience.

Scruffy-headed PM, laughing spouse, booing crowd ... and possibly the Queen at home with Andrew watching catch-up Corrie.

I loved that Carrie wore a hat so she didn't have to talk to him.

Hear, hear!

If the public has any decency they’d resign.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Queen joined in the booing.

Boris is that you? 😂

Lmfao

Most of the country are sick to the back teeth of party gate , it would be a very strange boss who didn't attend a leaving do at work

Oh don't be so silly. Ordinary people didn't get to have leaving dos. That's the whole point!

As for the booing... imo there is nothing remotely childish about expressing one's disdain for our absolute disgrace of a prime minister. He deserves to be humiliated in public.

whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever
is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any
excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things

Very well chosen, Ma'am.

Perhaps the Queen was booing along with the throng. Maybe that’s why she bailed on the service - I know I wouldn’t be trusted to be in a room with that snivelling, lying excuse for a human.

YANBU

Meghan and Harry didn’t deserve any of the bile sent there way though

It is juvenile behaviour, I think that every time I see Parliament in session on TV. Those MPs really should learn to behave like adults.

I think it's true that everyone is sick to fucking death of partygate. That's why he needs to go, so we can move on. We can't do that while he's still sitting in Number 10 laughing his head off at us.

He got boos and cheers, bit like the Sussexes.

Seriously though wtf were the spectators doing, did they think it was a Big Brother launch night or something?!

I was in France during the presidential election a few weeks ago - I was taken aback to see footage of Macron - talking to the public! He even got a tomato thrown at him and I thought- well fair play pal for actually being out and about. I couldn’t remember the last time I’ve seen any British politician ‘in the wild’ (maybe when Kier got thrown out that pub?).

so anyway I think Boris is so insulated from the public that this is really the least he should be expected to deal with.

Sounded more like cheers on television.

I definitely heard the boos for the Sussexes though.

That booing really must have stung Johnson. For a Tory PM to be booed by a crowd of patriotic, Union Jack waving, middle-English, M&S shopping royalists is quite something.

If he wasn’t seriously worried about his popularity before this, he certainly will be now…

This would be the same Queen that conspired in illegally proroguing parliament ? Or another one ? The same Queen we've been told is the special sauce that protects us from despots, tyrants and people who would rule above the law ?

If I was there, it wouldn't just be Boris I'd be booing.

And sometimes, if it wasn't for the "bad behaviour" of the public, we may never have had what disappearing freedoms we do.

The reason the occasion WAS entirely appropriate was the juxtaposition with his behaviour directly in contrast with the queen sitting alone at her DHs funeral so recently.

To me the boos were a sign of solidarity from the public to the queen.

I watched the clip, I actually heard more cheering than booing.
I can't imagine standing there and cheering a lying, misogynist, racist, narcissist like Johnson but plenty of the public love him.

Exactly that. And there’s no way the Queen conspired to prorogue Parliament, where do people get this crazy stuff? That bastard Johnson put her in an impossible position.

You must have heard the edited version where the booing was turned down. The original one is much louder.

Booing our leaders is a fine tradition going back centuries. At least we don't chop off their heads any more.

Much more booing on the way out.

He deserves to be left in no doubt as to how much the British public deplore him. Just wish it was louder and for longer and to his face.

Boris Booing sounds like a good new national pastime. I could get on board with that but have absolutely no intention of being anywhere near the odious toad aka the Lie Minister.
