Rachel Johnson and Stanley Johnson blame Boris Johnson’s government for the UK’s sewage shame
In a truly WTF moment, LBC host Rachel Johnson interviewed her dad on the unfolding environmental disaster of raw sewage being dumped in the UK’s waters. RIP, your irony meters.
Both Rachel and environmentalist, Stanley, laid the blame at the feet of the government, which is – at least nominally – under the control of her big brother, Boris Johnson.
"I would say we have to blame the Government!"

“Who is at fault for this happening? …
Is it the Tory government which hasn’t made enough of this illegal?”
“I would say we have to blame the government for not pressing this matter as hard as it should have done.”
That noise you heard was the sound of many palms meeting many faces – and these reactions say it all.

The Prime Minister's sister asks the Prime Minister's dad who's to blame for the sewage the Prime Minister's government said could go in our rivers and the Prime Minister's dad says it's the Prime Minister's government that's to blame.
I wish they knew someone who could tell him https://t.co/ohoFFH7N8m— Danny Wallace (@dannywallace) August 21, 2022

Stanley Johnson waits until Boris Johnson has been kicked out and goes on to attack Government…where has he been for the last 3 years? https://t.co/TajKVBlrPb

What would you call a country that gives the sister of a prime minister a regular slot in which she interviews the PM’s father about his Govt, having previously used the slot to argue the PM should not be removed & why her other brother deserved a peerage?pic.twitter.com/ncgju7jjI5

Stanley Johnson, a useless right-wing Toff, talking to a useless right-wing Toff about a useless right-wing Toff! (I'm sure he said breakfast not Brexit!) https://t.co/9qHRuKwtah

Rachel and Stanley Johnson, sister and father of the leader of the Excrement Party, are raging about sewage on LBC and blaming Brexit. Rachel says Rishi Sunak 'shredded' environmental standards.

Johnson asking Johnson about Johnson's record.
This definitely seems like a healthy political-media landscape yup. https://t.co/Nginu2Zn7B

Perhaps it’s unfair to place all the blame on the government.
Personally I blame Stanley Johnson for fucking breeding in the first place! https://t.co/zSptS72vf2
