I Wanted Boris Johnson To Die

[icyfroth]

Actress Miriam Margolyes has sparked outrage by admitting she hoped Boris Johnson would die when he was struck down by coronavirus.

The Harry Potter star, 78, made the shocking comments in a rant on Channel 4 comedy chat show The Last Leg on Friday night. 

It comes just days after the Prime Minister revealed that doctors were preparing to announce his death in case he lost his battle with the virus, as he admitted he was 'a lucky man'.

But in an incredible outburst, Margolyes told viewers: 'I wanted him to die'.

A lot of disgusting people around, what is so special about this one, dare I ask ?

I've seen her interviewed a few times in the past and she gets off on the shock value of her comments. The Poms love her, but I found her to be foul mouthed and vulgar. However, she seems to be the type of person who doesn't think before she speaks. So I'm inclined to think she probably didn't mean it literally.

For even thinking it,

Why would you wish death on someone that has had no influence whatsoever on your wellbeing, one way or another?

I find Miriam Margolyes one of the funniest and drollest female comedians around.

The comments were made on a comedy show.

It was said for effect, obviously.

She said: 'So then I wanted him to get better, which he did do, he did get better. But he didn't get better as a human being. And I really would prefer that. So, we're in the s**t, basically, here.'

If she lives in the country that he is PM of, of course he has influence on her wellbeing.

High profile ppl can make all sorts of disgusting  comments. The thing is, why condemn one, while excusing the other?
