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.

Time and a place surely and entering St Paul's for a service of thanksgiving would seem neither tbh.

I buried my 48 yr old husband in the summer of 2020. Only 15 people were able to attend his funeral. We all had to sit 2 meters apart.

Boris (and anyone else at the parties) absolutely deserves to be booed. 😡

What about coming out?

Don't use the word custard around him. I;ve only just recovered from that last time that happened.

He deserves it.

he’s absolutely ruined this country through ambition and ego.

As I say it's hard to know what the demographics would be of people booing him.

@JaniieJones as i pointed out ip thread, there is basically no other time that the public gets any access to Johnson. I’d fully support him making himself available to be booed at a more appropriate time.

I’m so sorry LeeHarper and everyone else on the thread who buried loved ones during the restrictions💐 it’s such a hard thing to do and to have to do it with restrictions must have been so hard, I really feel for you all.

People trying to minimise Johnson’s actions and going on about how people are sick of Partygate really piss me off.

Waaaaaaah

As I say it's hard to know what the demographics would be of people booing him

Completely irrelevant. By definition they’re Royalists with traditional values.

A lot of people who turn up for these events are quite odd. The kind of people who were wailing in the streets when Diana died.

after reading this thread I’ve just watched the video of John Prescott punching a man who egged him and then getting into an actual tussle on the street. Somehow I remember this making John Prescott kind of relatable at the time 😂 maybe Johnson could get into a fist fight to raise his popularity?

I think he deserves it, but not today. Today was about HMQ only.

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.

She signed it. It was illegal. Exactly that.

Remember I've spend over half a fucking century having it rammed down my throat that the reason we could never get rid of the monarchy is because "they are a protection against tyranny".

Are they bogroll. They're complicit in it.

Of course you're free to suggest the Queen has no power to refuse to sigh. In which case it'd be a fuck sight cheaper to get a rubber stamp off eBay, and ditch the whole rotten House of Windsor.

What you can't have is Schrödinger's Queen who simultaneously holds political power while at the same time being under the thumb of whoever is using the toilet at number 10 for a few years.

Maybe 1 cheer. Maybe.

The public were expressing what they thought of Boris i.e. he's a useless lying cunt. Would have thought that was pretty obvious.

He got off lightly being booed

Plenty of Tory supporters on here I see

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

I can only assume @hattie43 that you must work at Downing Street, as the rest of the Country were aware that nobody had leaving do s at that time (except on Zoom).
So many of us weren't able to attend funerals.
Many weren't able to be with their loved ones as they died.
Many weren't able to spend any time with their elderly parents in their confusion.
New Mums weren't able to get any support or help from their parents in those first few weeks and months
and so on and so on and so on.

I think you'll find most people are sick to death of the lies and of the contempt that the Prime Minister shows for everyone.

Yeah thanksgiving for her service but she has also had an incredibly privileged life she won't be worried about the cost of living and heating going up like other pensioners

They were even more enthusiastic in their booing when he left.

I'd like to think it's because he had the guts to stand up and read that reading and everyone was responding to the hypocrisy of it.

As for Johnson and his lying cabal there's a seventh circle of hell for them but meanwhile it's great he got booed

The English love their Tories.

Agreed. It was inappropriate on the steps of the Cathedral before a service. They could have waited until the special weekend was over and then booed as much as they like

It would be a very strange family member not to attend a funeral to lay a loved one to rest.

He made it illegal for all but a few.

So no, he shouldn't have attended an event to say goodbye to a colleague that could have waited until restrictions were lesser.
