Boris Johnson revealed yesterday he was called a ‘w****’ by a stranger as he ran through a London park – and thinks it’s a good thing.
The former Prime Minister used business language to reveal touch with a potty pedestrian. But he defended the perpetrator’s right to freedom of expression, although he was initially angry.
Referring to the incident involving another jogger, Mr Johnson said: ‘A fit young geezer darted past me… he sang a happy London salute – ‘w***er’ he said.
‘I’m usually insensitive to this kind of thing, but I’m afraid this time I was cooking, I was like ‘you’re rotting’. He continued: ‘Then I relaxed and thought what a wonderful country we are and how lucky I am to be yelled at on my morning run.’
Boris Johnson revealed he was called ‘w*****’ while jogging through a London park.
‘If you doubt that, imagine Vladimir Putin running across Red Square and being yelled at. They would be scattered like doves from his path.’
He also shared the joke he told about Prince Andrew’s arrest – ahead of his own Partygate fine.
Mr Johnson said: ‘I used to joke about how they once arrested Prince Andrew in the bushes at Buckingham Palace. I thought it was quite funny until they actually fined me for having lunch at my cabinet table at 10 Downing Street.’
The former prime minister used a speech to business leaders in the capital to reveal his altercation with a potty-wearing passerby.
He was initially angry at the ‘rotter’ but then realized it was a sign Britain was not a dictatorship.
