Margolyes takes down Boris Johnson and David Cameron in Brexit rant

The Harry Potter star was asked for her opinion on Brexit on ABC’s News Breakfast show, and she did not mince her words.

She said: ‘I’m not allowed to say the words that spring to mind, because it is early in the morning, and people are tender in the morning… but I think it’s a load of…’

The host interjects: ‘You can say bollocks’ to which the actress agreed.

She said: ‘Yes it’s bollocks!’

‘It’s wrong and it’s based on ignorance, people were lied to, people didn’t tell the truth, particularly Boris Johnson. It is a disaster for England.’

Asked how it will end, Margolyes said that she expected the Brexit situation to rumble on for years to come.

She said: ‘I don’t think it’s going to end. I think it’s going to go on for years. We are wasting our resources and our time, and our focus, it’s absolute nonsense. It’s piffle.

‘David Cameron – who was our prime minister – he should be boiled in oil. It was just a waste.’

Twitter users responded to Breakfast News’ social media post in praise of the rant.
