’Not My Prime Minister’: Anti-Johnson Rallies in London after Election Result

By Staff, Agencies

Several hundred protesters marched through central London on Friday to protest against the United Kingdom’s election result, chanting “Boris Johnson: Not My Prime Minister” and “Boris, Boris, Boris: Out, Out, Out”.

The protesters, brandishing signs that read “Defy Tory [Conservative] Rule” and “Refugees Welcome”, walked at speed from outside Johnson’s Downing Street residence to Trafalgar Square and on to the theater district, blocking traffic and drawing a heavy police presence.

Johnson’s Conservatives won Thursday’s election by a large margin.

On Friday he called for “closure” over the Brexit divisions that have driven the United Kingdom for the past three and a half years.
