THE father of a five-year-old girl killed in the Dunblane school massacre has said Boris Johnson ’s past comments on gun control make him “totally unsuitable” to be the Prime Minister.
Dr Mick North’s daughter Sophie was killed in the primary school shooting in 1996 – which claimed 17 lives.
He spoke out after it emerged Mr Johnson had written an article which likened the confiscation of handguns in the wake of the shootings to “nanny confiscating toys” such as model train sets.
Mr North said: “I’m still appalled.
“None of the views Johnson expressed in the past should be viewed in isolation, excused as one-off errors of judgment or just as ‘Boris being Boris’.
“They are part of a pattern that reflects exactly the kind of unsympathetic person he is.”
