Boris Johnson was brutally owned by Luxembourg’s prime minister – 14 favourite responses

John Plunkett. Updated September 16th, 2019

Spare a thought – no of course not! – for Boris Johnson who must have thought Luxembourg would offer him a break from the daily humiliation he has suffered since becoming PM.

Except, well, it didn’t, after the so-called prime minster refused to take part in a press conference because some protestors were booing him, so Luxembourg PM Xavier Bettel went ahead and did it without him.

Complete with an empty lecturn behind which Johnson, self-styled Incredible Hulk, should have stood.

Hi I’m Boris Johnson. I’ve spent the last two weeks making my team photoshop Jeremy Corbyn’s face onto a massive chicken then comparing myself to the strongest Avenger. No fuck you I can’t attend the press conference, what if there are some mild boos.

My favourite episode of The Incredible Hulk is the one where a small group of people shouted too loudly so he ran away

It’s easy to forget the small cultural differences between us and our European neighbours. For example, did you know that in Luxembourg they show their love and respect for someone by booing and shouting “wanker”? pic.twitter.com/TyVo0r3AaT

Boris Johnson: I will be able to negotiate the terms of an agreed deal with Europe.

Also Boris Johnson: I cannot negotiate the terms of an agreed press conference with Luxembourg.

Did you enjoy Boris Johnson’s Week Of Shit, in which he toured Britain being shouted at by the public? You’ll love the sequel, Euroshit, in which he tours the EU being constantly owned
