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'.
What a disgusting old cow!

For even thinking it,
Why would you wish death on someone that has had no influence whatsoever on your wellbeing, one way or another?
He obviously offended her values and in anglo society that is enough to attract censure

Ok,Lio, .but I think suggesting shoving a sock down someone's throat would be less than someone wishing death via a disease on
on a sitting PM of another country.

If you watch the interview, she says he's done an appalling job of protecting people from the virus.

Oh right.
That explains why she would wish the PM of Britain to die of COVID 19.
NOT!

Exactly Icy, you accused someone of it a few weeks ago. I had to Google to find out what you were going on about.

Earlier in the thread you said she shouldn't have an opinion on a PM of another country.
Why would you wish death on someone that has had no influence whatsoever on your wellbeing, one way or another?
Keep up, Icy.

Nor am I. But would you wish him to die?
Maybe you missed that bit when Boris was telling Britain that COVID19 is not such big deal, and that he goes around without mask and shakes hands with people, even when he went to hospital he shook hands of infected people. After shaking all these people's hands, he continued going around without mask, no doubt infecting people until he got sick. The UK now has 2nd highest number of dead in the world. He is responsible for death of people. Bet lots of people wished him dead. Miriam might be living now in Australia but she is still British; her family and friends are over there. .

I'd forgotten all that about Boris.
So how many did he personally infect, I wonder?
Or even kill, for that matter?
Miriam is currently residing in London.
