BBC 'covered up Boris Johnson branding the French "turds" over Brexit'


The BBC agreed to cover up an outburst from Boris Johnson in which he branded the French ‘turds’ over Brexit , it has been reported.

The broadcaster was following Johnson for a documentary when he made the remark, apparently out of frustration over France refusing Britain a better exit deal.

A leaked Whitehall memo allegedly said the remark becoming public would make Anglo-French relations “awkward.”
