Boris Johnson calls hecklers 'lefty t***ers'

Report by Matt Blake

Mayor of London Boris Johnson got heckled by an angry mob on Wednesday during a visit to Bristol.

As the Mayor of London walked through the city, during a visit to support the Tory candidate for the upcoming police commissioner elections, a group of young men and women began tailing him yelling "Tory scum" and "pleb".

The Mayor of London's calm broke only once when he turned to the group and shouted: "Lefty t***ers".

A young man bellowed back: "Tory w*****".

When he stopped to pose for photographs and answer questions from the press, his words were further drowned out by insults and catcalls.

One woman shouted: "Boo! You are not welcome in Bristol."

In a final bid to pacify the unruly mob, the floppy-haired Tory pleaded: "I don't want a crusty civil war breaking out. Come on, please.

"Can the neo-anarcho syndicalist fringe stick together please? This is not the time for disputes."

His florid retort fell on deaf ears, so he swiftly retreated into an Art Warehouse cafe, but not before telling them to "bog off" as he slipped through the doorway.
