Talk Your Way Out Of This One Johnson

[ravenrover]

I see he thought it was another   party at St Pauls the greasy piglet brought his own "boos"

[albie]

What did he expect after his performance just before the funeral of Philip;

Taxi for Mr Johnson!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Or this. With the BBC presenters stunned.

Give em Chance

I forsee the Boos replaced by polite applause or the whole entrance sequence binned by the BBC who they are accusing non stop of bias against them

Laura Kuennsberg biased against Johnson ... never in a millenia

[wilts rover]

Nah they will just edit it out - or replace it with a clip of a crowd cheering him at Tory Party HQ.

Like they did with people laughing at him in 2019 GE debate:

or placing the wreath upside down on Remembrance Day:

Johnson received a mixture of boos and cheers, but, of course, the cheers don't count to those who are about as right-wing as Michael McIndoe.

ON the other hand, Starmer and his supporters must be delighted and well heartened by the crowd's blistering show of silence on his arrival.

[River Don]

It will depend on what Tory MPs watching on make of it.

A royalist crowd booing their man? Perhaps he's not as popular as he was. Perhaps the greased piglet has become an old pig?

It's Johnsons Magic at the polls they've been holding on to. If that popularity has gone, then...

[Bentley Bullet]

So you genuinely think it was a crowd consisting only of royalists and not a single anti-government protester there simply using the occasion to pour scorn on Johnson?

Somehow I doubt anti-government protestors will have been hanging around for hours to get to the front of the crowds on the off chance they might get to boo the PM.

[Bentley Bullet]

I suspect that is a bit of wishful thinking on your part. I don't doubt it at all.

[River Don]

Well, if the booing doesn't convince them then the by-elections will.

[Bentley Bullet]

Maybe the Labour party should also take heed of the silence Starmer received today, along with their poor by-election results.

[River Don]

I don't think the Labour Party will win a forthcoming election but the Tory party could lose it.

Somehow I don't think Labour will be wanting to see Johnson replaced really.

[Bentley Bullet]

I don't believe that either. Starmer and co have offered nothing regarding opposition apart from constantly wanting Johnson to resign.

[River Don]

I don't believe that either. Starmer and co have offered nothing regarding opposition apart from constantly wanting Johnson to resign.

It would alienate Labour supporters if they weren't seen to be doing that.

But if Labour aren't worried the Tories could pull off the old trick of rebooting the brand with a new leader, then I'd be surprised.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Aye, the Windfall Tax thought itself up all on it's own!

[scawsby steve]

IMO, the 2024 GE will be a hung parliament, with the Labour Party desperately trying to get into bed with that bunch of treacherous, traitorous snake oil salesmen, the Lib Dems.

If they do that, after the Lib Dems' disgusting shenanigans in 2010, then the LP's image as a party of principles and morals will be shattered forever.

Then we really will be able to claim that they're all the same.

[Glyn_Wigley]

The SNP will be much more important than the Lib Dems after the next election.

The SNP will be much more important than the Lib Dems after the next election.

Agreed, but wouldn't a coalition between Labour and the SNP be thwarted by the issue of Scottish independence?

An offer of the SNP being in charge of all central government Scottish policy might be attractive to them.

I could see Labour offering the SNP a referendum, assuming a soft Brexit (because the N Ireland border question won't be solved) paving the way to keeping the union intact.

[albie]

In Edinburgh, Scottish Labour have just entered a coalition with the Tories to keep the SNP from control of the city.

Scotland's politics are divided along support or opposition to the Union, and this will continue until a new referendum on independence.

Here's that well-known Starmer-supporting woke lefty rag The Telegraph reporting on the crowd booing Johnson.

The Telegraph does report on people booing Johnson, I haven’t seen anyone saying that some people didn’t boo.
The telegraph also says that some people were cheering Johnson.
I would have thought that is the usual situation when he goes anywhere.
I remember Darren Moore getting booed at the KM when he came back with Sheff Weds recently.
The people at the other end of the ground cheered him
Not surprising either.

[wilts rover]

According to that othe lefty rag, The Daily Express, he was loudly booed;

Although as their current No.1 story is about poll tracker data showing the public think Brexit was a mistake, I think they may have been hacked?

[SydneyRover]

''Queen’s thanksgiving service: Boos and jeers for Boris Johnson outside St Paul’s''

''The noise was loud enough for the BBC to address it in their live coverage of the event, with the presenter Jane Hill, saying: “There is really quite a lot of booing actually, a substantial amount”.''

Hmmm .....

Thoughts and prayers with BB x

This wins the the thread

[BobG]

Booed coming out of St Pauls too.

I bet he'd got that funny ephemeral cotton wool in his lugholes....

Silence from Middle England Royalists is a good result considering they booed their own man, good try Nadine
