GENE WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FOR BORIS JOHNSON

GENE WITHDRAWS HIS SUPPORT FOR BORIS JOHNSON

Boris Johnson

 After much soul searching Gene has announced that he is withdrawing his support for his local MP Boris Johnson. This follows the publication on 27th February of a letter from Mr Johnson to the Prime Minister suggesting a hard border in Northern Ireland may happen with Brexit.


In a statement sent to the Huffington Post Gene has said that Boris Johnson is putting the Good Friday agreement into jeopardy. He is quoted as saying "I think  former Conservative Cabinet minister Lord Heseltine is correct when he says that what the letter was referring was to how all hard borders operate:

This is completely incompatible with what [Boris Johnson] said in the referendum campaign. It is complete nonsense of his statement today that it's like Islington and Camden.What he is saying to the Prime Minister in private is that their may well have to be checks of perhaps 5% - and that means a hard border.

This is the most remarkable revelation of duplicity.

Boris Johnson is a prat."
