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.

I have to confess, I did briefly wonder if a biblical smiting might occur. In its absence, some booing seems more than fair.

Booing is the least he deserved. I would support The Queen dismissing him, not that it is going to happen.

The second reading should in my opinion been given by one of the Queen's grandchildren.

I'd rather see him in prison, but they did what they could.

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

Yeah. Why is that? 😂

SunflowerGardens · 03/06/2022 20:16

'Me too, if he wants to pencil in a weekly session for booing I’ll gladly attend each & every one'

Thursdays at 8 say? Like clap for carers only boo for Boris.

I wrote to my MP about the lockdown parties and usually he responds straight away with support for Boris Johnson . This time it's gone quiet. Something is afoot. He has gone too far. I think it's getting harder to defend him. I am not going to move on. People died without their live ones, most of us obeyed the rules. I spent the best part of two years alone. I am glad the tide is turning.

Of course he deserved it. He’s a despicable POS and I’m ashamed we have such a bloody terrible leader. He is the worst PM in my lifetime. Worse than every other PM including Thatcher. And that’s saying something!

Mine would probably quite as AG and become his lawyer to defend him if he commuted murder in public with 1000 witnesses.

Although I doubt we'd hear much of what she has to say as her head is so far up Johnson's arse it'll dull the sound!

Well, it's not like any leader other than Boris would ever have let her beat the AG gig.

I was very relieved to see Carrie by his side. It's been months. People were getting so worried about her.#WheresCarrie was trending recently.

Glad she's ok but not sure the marriage is going well. The hat was a bit of a clue, also her pissing herself laughing at him getting booed.

billy1966 · 03/06/2022 20:34

I think there are a whole raft of people very quietly traumatised over the nature of the deaths of their loved ones.

Not seeing them at all.
Standing at windows.
Face timing them goodbye.
Knowing they died without a single family member around them.

Huge, chest tightening grief.

I understand people's utter distaste for him.

I think he is a deeply odious, amoral, excuse of a man.

VicToryA · 03/06/2022 20:36

I am a lifelong Tory, and Boris Johnson lost me at Brexit. I'd have been booing him for that reason alone.

Yeah he’s probably shagging around already.

Yes they did but well, they deserve it too! so let's all boo people 🙄

meow1989 · 03/06/2022 20:39

He probably felt ab9ut as appreciated by the crowd as nhs workers have done with their generous claps throughout the pandemic.

Personally I think this was the perfect time to show discontent- would people be talking about it if people had waited until he visited a town to boo him? No though I assume that already happens , but a non -violent vocal protest at a large internationally covered event, point across, pressure on, perhaps he might finally take note and resign.

Booklover3 · 03/06/2022 20:51

I remember the pictures of the Queen looking very old and lost, sitting on her own at her husbands funeral... and she obviously wasn’t the only one. I’m so sorry for anyone who was prevented from being with their loved ones at that time.

Hes a disgrace. The least he should be getting is boo’s. He should be booed out of Parliament.

MrsMAgain · 03/06/2022 20:51

YANBU.

Never mind the boos though, I expected a thunder bolt to come down from on high and strike him during his reading from the New Testament!

Who chose that, I wonder?!

Someone with a cracking sense of humour.

NashvilleQueen · 03/06/2022 20:58

I love a good boo. Tories have been saying all well how much the public love him. He's a goner.

L1ttledrummergirl · 03/06/2022 21:00

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

Johnson supporters are sick to the back teeth of having to defend party gate, it would be a very strange boss who attended an illegal leaving do at work

Fixed it for you.

I was in and out of the living room this morning so missed Johnsons arrival. The first I knew of him being there was when he started reading and we all missed what he was saying as we were all too busy swearing at the TV.

Thank you mnet and twitter for the catch up and well played the Palace.

Workquestion12 · 03/06/2022 21:05

The boos were worse when they came out of the church service. Carrie looked vulnerable. I don't feel the slightest bit sorry for her though. She had an affair with Boris, when he was still married, and his wife had cervical cancer. She knew exactly what she was doing and what she was getting herself involved with.
