A bunch of angry cyclists tried to block Boris Johnson from getting to work

He got there in the end though.

You’ve been up all night following the results of the referendum as they flood in from around the country.

You expected your campaign to lose, but against your own expectations, they won.

What do you do next? Better go to work… Except there’s a troupe of angry cyclists blocking your way.

That’s what happened to Boris Johnson this morning, who had been campaigning for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, and managed to get what he wanted.

By the looks of things, he was trying to travel at exactly the same time as a load of cyclists who voted Remain, who parked their bikes on the road and refused to move.

Onlookers then started to swear at Johnson’s car, and the whole thing was caught on video.

A story was doing the rounds yesterday in which a member of the public claimed to have been on the London Underground with Boris Johnson, and said the former London mayor had conceded defeat in the referendum.

Maybe Johnson should have tried to get the underground to work this morning.
