The Downing Street demonstrators weren’t shouting what we thought they were shouting

We’ve all seen the footage of Boris Johnson’s pointless speech by now, in which it sounds as though a crowd are chanting “Stop the coup” in the background. Well, Twitter favourite, composer and father of the precocious Baskerville, Mr Nick Harvey, has cleared it up a little, and now we know what they were actually shouting.

If you listen really carefully, you can actually make out what the demonstrators are chanting. pic.twitter.com/rzGe7TcQj3

Does Boris Johnson own a hairbrush? Who knows! We’re very grateful to Nick for that, and we’re pretty sure these people are too.

Excellent. ❤️ https://t.co/Vc8J68iSpL

Of course, we know it must be one hundred per cent reliable, because it’s brought to us by the man who tweeeted this:

Baskerville, my two year old, just woke up in tears.

I ran upstairs and found her sobbing in her bedroom doorway.

“Daddy,” she cried. “Boris… Boris Johnson.”

I grasped her hand.

“What, sweetie? What?”

“He’s…”

She fell to her knees.

“He’s such a fucking cunt.”
