Bench plaque 'in loathing memory' of Boris Johnson mysteriously removed

A plaque ‘in loathing memory’ of former prime Minister Boris Johnson has now mysteriously disappeared, it has been reported. This comes after a bench in Atherton became ‘famous’ due to the joke plaque which had residents in stitches.

It is not clear who installed the plaque or who took it away, but it did provide entertainment to the high street while it was there. The owners of the Dry Clean Centre on Market Street, just next to the bench which donned the plaque, said people were coming into town just to see it after images spread across social media.

The homage to Mr Johnson said: “In loathing memory of Alexander “Boris” De Pfeffel Johnson. Prime Minister June 2019 to July 2022. Forgotten but not gone.”
