Booing Boris. AIBU to say he deserved it?

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.

90% of those people moaning about it also had their own gatherings at home

Now you're just making stuff up. Keep practising and you might get as good at it as BoJo.

Those who hate him, really really hate him because he has such a big support and yes, brexit did happen, and your remain vote plus 2+ years of remoaning didn't pay off..but okay we'll just forever bang on about parties, despite the fact that 90% of those people moaning about it also had their own gatherings at home.. any excuse, honestly..

Cry more.

I just think the moaning has become a hobby for some people. It must be so tiring.. you need to move on..

We will as soon as the lying buffoon resigns.

What's tiring is people who buy into their gaslighting "the country want to move on" and people who tell everyone how many of us broke the rules (we didn't - we got fined if we did).

So many people didn't get to say goodbye to loved ones dying in hospital or at funerals. Couldn't hug loved ones at funerals.

Meanwhile Johnson who passes these laws then says he thought it was the right thing for morale to attend a leaving drink.

He NEVER once thought about the feelings and 'morale' of those sticking to the laws he passed losing loved ones. NEVER. NOT ONCE.

That's despicable for someone who is meant to represent us on the international stage and more importantly as a country.

How he can walk into those buildings day in and day out pretending he does what's right for us is beyond me.

He did, does and will purely do what benefits him. It's a game now. His true colours are well and truly shining through. And they are a pretty shade.

90% feel like mugs because they didn't because it was made illegal by the same people partying. Stop tugging your forelock for 5 minutes and see the wood for the trees.

You what? Speak for yourself, you may have been, butI certainly wasn't having gatherings and noone I know was too!

Hi Nadine🤙
Is it scotch or gin after you’ve polished off the wine?🙂

ChompChamp · 03/06/2022 19:27

‘Time to move on’

Often from the same people that continue to ‘but Jeremy Corbyn’.

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

Maybe under normal circumstances yes it would be strange for him not to be there but this wasn't normal circumstances.

There should have been no leaving dos for him to attend at a time when no one else was allowed leaving dos or any other kind of mixing.

Even the dying and their loved ones weren't allow 'leaving dos'.

It's the utter contempt that their actions showed for the 'little people' that gets most people's backs up and I'm not sure most people are sick of partygate.

TambourineOfRepentance · 03/06/2022 19:34

I agree that it wasn't the appropriate action to take outside a Cathedral.

However, in the absence of a large pile of stones and the chance to get properly Biblical, booing will have to suffice.

Hummingbirdcake · 03/06/2022 19:34

I don’t feel like a mug for not having gatherings. I was trying to avoid getting/spreading COVID.

carefullycourageous · 03/06/2022 19:35

It is remarkable he was booed, given the apolitical nature of the event and the people attending. He thoroughly deserved it, after everything done in Downing Street and all the covering up.

newnamethanks · 03/06/2022 19:35

I see Nadine seems to have found her way onto here, the apologists have been put on MN alert due to The Interview. Day after day Bozo, this is the way it's go-ing to go. Hope you don't hang around long enough to get used to it.

Where does this idea that people are sick of Partygate come from? No one's asked me but if they did I'd say I didn't mind hearing about it and felt no particular urge to move on.

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…

Now if it was Waitrose shopping women...

Tory wishful thinking. Notice that none of them are providing any evidence to back it up either.

What an excellent idea.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 03/06/2022 19:43

Local village to me has a scarecrow trail as part of jubilee celebrations, it is as true blue as you can get and at least half of the scarecrows are party gate themed. Not a good sign for Boris I would say.

newnamethanks · 03/06/2022 19:46

Great idea. Let's gather at our local Waitrose.

Deserved and very funny.

The useless cunt definitely thought he was walking out to a home crowd. You love to see it
