Does anyone believe he actually watched it?
I don’t think the women would want to visit Boris tbf. He’d probably try it on with them.
Winning sports teams should be invited to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen (or another senior Royal) anyway. That’s the Head of State.
That prick is just lording it up there, partying, sleeping all day, making the most of every last second of his private palace.
What I want to know is – what went on at Chequers during the lockdown?
A packed stadium booing the prick doesn’t suit his end of term holiday
