Bar Stewards?

[davebro]

Booing Boris and Carrie outside the memorial service. Is London a different country from the rest of England?

Turn up to celebrations looking like a slob, why don't you.

[fender62]

jno, thats petty..some people have fly away hair, specially thin folicle hair..if you get my gist, brill creame ermm probably look worse.

[ichkeria]

Yes I agree with those who say at the very least it was neither the time nor the place.
Is there a right time and a right place?
There are certainly a lot better places and times

[Peter Pedant]

when and where do you boo?

I am not sure there are taboo places or times
( I got thrown out of a funeral for laughing)

Problem is, there are few times when he is available

I note that when there were "the witch is dead parties" on Thatchers death - were there complaints that it was taboo ?( = not done for slow Abers, ie the majority)

we need mushie on the job ( anthropologist )

[mushroom25]

i wouldn't know anything about when's an appropriate time to be a boo-boy - nor indeed how many years you need to be dead before people stop vandalising your statue.

but i have seen many sour comments about this weekend, probably the one i can actually report verbatim on a site with a sweary filter, is "a public celebration of 70 years of being born inferior".

[tomus42]

It's because the people in the crowd there are monarchists and admirers of the Queen.

They have not forgiven him for imposing the restrictions that forced her to sit alone wearing a mask at her husband's funeral, while he ignored them himself and let his staff do likewise. Nor should they.

[Deskdiary]

Time and a place - and this was neither.

Even though I’m a life long Tory, I’m not a huge Boris fan, so this shouldn’t be taken as me piping up because I’m a fan, but those that booed absolutely were morons. This is a celebration of the Queen, and making a political point, because that’s what it was, had no place.

Also morons were the Veganazis on The Mall yesterday. Cretins.

[douglas9401]

Maybe an homage a la Springsteen fans who chant Broooooooooose before their hero takes the stage, sometimes mistaken for boos.

Could just be lost in transation.

Doubt it though. ;-)

[FatticusInch]

Exactly Tomus42,
It’s for that reason alone that I’m amazed he had the brass neck to show his face, bearing in mind there were 2 Downing St parties on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral.
The result was a sadly iconic picture of the monarch sat alone and a little bewildered, observing the rules to the letter and spirit of the law whilst the government mocked her stoicism and sense of duty by their actions.
Shameful in the extreme.

[Deskdiary]

It’s not “exactly” though is it.

I have no doubt the boos we’re because of the triviality of the ‘party’, but I also have no doubt that if you asked those who booed, they wouldn’t say they booed because the Queen was forced to sit alone at her husband’s funeral.

[Arksided]

Shameful in the extreme. I couldn't give a rats arris how your politics, lie... those booing and cheering have no respect of the occasion.

[Arksided]

I recon they come from the Country known as London.

[FatticusInch]

So many reasons for them to boo, a plethora in fact, difficult to nail it down to one single event.
You know you’re going some though when Blair and Cameron alike don’t even get a heckle.

[tomus42]

Correct me if I'm wrong deskdiary, but you seem to be suggesting that people booed when Boris Johnson appeared in order to support him.

Ok.

[Deskdiary]

Happy to correct you Tomus - I didn’t suggest that.

[Deskdiary]

Although I can see where the confusion arose, because I said “triviality” (mea culpa) - I think the whole party thing with Boris, and with Starmer’s beer and curry social, are trivialities.

[Peter Pedant]

No Latin DD - it is like letting the monkeys out of the cage.
you could say - you were referring to a New York official
meyer koolpa

I have to say if a tory MP came near me ( unlikely since I live in a ghetto) I wd give him an ear-full on obeying the law. and if there were any nonsense about public order, retort the obvious:
boris doesnt have to obey the law and neither do I !

[Peter Pedant]

uti Latinam - tua maxima culpa
oh yeah I see - Boris is a latinist,
peccavi, peccavi

[davebro]

PP - can it , no one is amused by your carp any more!
