Passer-by 1:


»Boris has to go!«

The UK is in a government crisis, again.

Health and Finance Ministers, two members of the Conservative Party, resigned on Tuesday evening.

At least two state secretaries resigned from their jobs on Wednesday morning.

Clear signs of distrust in Prime Minister Boris Johnson, even if he initially announced that he wanted to continue.

However, on the streets of London and Manchester, many can only imagine his tenure imminently coming to an end.

Passerby 2:


»He should go.

He should have left a long time ago.”

Reporter:


"How long do you think he can hold on to power?"

Passerby 2:


»I don't think he can do that.

That's a living dead man."

Passerby 3:


"Enough is really enough."

Passer-by 4:


»I'm just surprised that he's still there.

I really think hours are at stake now.

We're just counting the hours."

But not all Brits are unhappy.

Passer-by 5:


»I think he should stay.

Because in my opinion he did a great job with Brexit and Corona.

And he's also doing well in Ukraine.

Everyone has weaknesses, but I find their good qualities outweigh their flaws.«

Passer-by 6:


»He had to deal with a few things, everyone else fled the dust.

All in all, I think people should criticize him, but they should first show that they can do better."

It is uncertain whether others will soon be able to try Johnson's place.

Many of his opponents fear that in the end he will manage to somehow wriggle out.

Passer-by 7:


»What do you call him?

Was it 'greased piglet' as one of the newspapers called him this morning?'

Passer-by 8:


"One of the more benevolent terms for him, I think."

Passer-by 7:


"Who knows, he survived this long..."

Passerby 8:


»What time is it now?«

Passer-by 7:


“Yesterday we speculated whether he would go on vacation before us.

We are teachers…"

Passer-by 8:


»We still hope.«

The school holidays in England started this Wednesday.

Boris Johnson is still in office.
