COVID-19 claimed more lives in the United Kingdom than in any other country in Europe. Nearly 200,000 people living in the UK died from the devastating pandemic, with thousands more suffering long-term symptoms and health consequences from the virus, too. As a result, governments implemented regulations to try and keep people safe. In the UK, for example, authorities enacted strict legal bans on indoor gatherings or parties. But while residents were doing their best to stop the spread, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his staffers were getting drunk, having parties, and ignoring all social distancing rules. In doing so, they openly disrespected the pain other Brits were experiencing — as well as violated the law.
A new government report paints a damning picture of the disgraced Prime Minister, making it clear that neither he nor his staff cared much about the spread of COVID-19 at all. The report found over 15 events, including a large party the night before Queen Elizabeth attended her deceased husband's funeral alone, in accordance with social distancing rules. Authorities are well aware that Prime Minister Johnson and his cronies have broken the law. As a result, they've issued 126 fines to the people involved. Yet Johnson is trying to gaslight police and the public: he has denied attending any of these events, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Britons of all walks of life agree that this is unacceptable. In fact, a recent poll shows that two-thirds of people living in the United Kingdom think Johnsonhe should resign, given the report's findings. As Keir Starmer, leader of the opposition Labour Party, put it: "You cannot be a lawmaker and a law-breaker. It's time to pack his bags." COVID-19 has upended almost every person on earth's life — except, apparently, for the Prime Minister and his staffers. There is no excuse for this behavior and it is an insult to the millions of people who have globally suffered. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson must resign now! Sign the petition if you agree!
