Protestors at the ongoing Covid-19 Inquiry held up a chilling six-word sign in the face of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

The ex-PM was sheepish as he sat in front of the inquiry and faced questions from Hugo Keith KC to answer questions about the then-government’s handling of the pandemic. But early on in the proceedings things were brought to a halt by the inquiry’s chair, former Court of Appeal judge Heather Hallett, Baroness Hallett.

Johnson began laying out his initial apology at Dorland House in west London, explaining how “sorry” he was for the nation’s “pain and loss,” before Baroness Hallett was heard saying: “Please sit down. Please sit down or I’m afraid you’ll have to leave.” Four people were removed from the hearing following their refusal to sit, during which time they also held up a chilling sign for the whole room to see.

The sign read: “The dead can’t hear your apologies.” They left the building following their refusal to sit.

The four later told reporters outside that they “didn’t want” Johnson’s apology. Kathryn Butcher, 59, lost her sister-in-law during the pandemic and told journalists: "We didn’t want his apology. When he tried to apologise we stood up. We didn’t block anybody. We were told to sit down.

“We didn’t sit down straight away. One of us stayed standing, so the rest of us came out in solidarity.”

Many have been left wanting to confront Johson over his claims he did not want to order a second lockdown.

Mr Johnson has admitted that “unquestionably” his government “may have made mistakes” during its handling of the pandemic.

The four's stand wasn't the only action surrounding the event, with well-known satirical artist Kaya Mar holding up paintings of a naked Johnson on a crucifix and a naked Prime Minister and then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak naked on the virus.
