Prince William and President Biden jeered by hecklers at Boston Harbour meeting

Hecklers accused the Prince of Wales and President Biden of "exploiting workers" as the pair met in Boston yesterday (Friday, December 2). A small crowd of about 100 protesters gathered at the city's harbour where the two men greeted each other before having talks at the John F Kennedy Library.

They were greeted with shouts of “**** the Royal family” and “Joe Biden is a scab”, the Daily Express reported. The protesters, from unions and Left-wing groups, also shouted “Let’s Go Brandon!” - a slogan normally used by Donald Trump supporters to mock Mr Biden.

The group were waving placards about a Senate vote on Thursday that imposed a pay and conditions deal on railway workers that had previously been rejected by several of the unions representing them because it did not include paid sick leave. Mr Biden had called on Congress to take the action to avert a railway strike to "avoid an economic catastrophe" over the festive period.
