A bench in Greater Manchester has caused a stir after a plaque was place on it in ‘loathing memory’ of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The bench in Market Street, Atherton, had the plaque placed on it in the past week, although nobody knows who put it there.
People have been flocking to the site for days, according to Anita and Brian Thomas, owners of Dry Clean Centre shop where the bench is on their doorstep. They have witnessed dozens of people coming to the town in the borough of Wigan to view the plaque and ‘have a giggle’.
The homage to Mr Johnson says: “In loathing memory of Alexander “Boris” De Pfeffel Johnson. Prime Minister June 2019 to July 2022. Forgotten but not gone.”
