Bonker Boris dodges Brexit speech at last minute following loud protests

[stockhausen]

Boris Johnson was accused of bottling a Brexit press conference today after failing to appear alongside Luxembourg's prime minister due to noisy protests.

In a pointed gesture, Xavier Bettel delivered the press conference by himself with an empty podium where Mr Johnson was scheduled to have joined him, telling the absent British PM: “You can’t hold a future hostage for party political gains.”

Mr Johnson had earlier been booed by crowds as he walked up to meet Mr Bettel with a handshake following before heading into the Ministry of State in Luxembourg City for discussions.

Demonstrators screamed “Stop the coup, tell the truth” and “Bog off, Boris”.

Mr Johnson walked out afterwards without doing his promised appearance in front of the media.

Where was the tub of lard?

No civilised country would have allowed a group of 100 morons to shout down an address by another countries PM.

He got pretty much shouted down when he stood outside No 10...

I did find the headlines of "The Incredible Sulk" quite amusing, after he compared himself to the Hulk yesterday .

Remember fellas, everything BoJo does that is Brexit-related is just to further his career. Nothing else matters to him.

That's what David Cameron said anyway, apparently.
