Watch: Cyclists block the car of Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson

Videos have emerged showing people shouting at the former mayor as he leaves his Islington home and makes his way to work.

Oh Boris. Lovely Boris, with his untucked shirt and his comedy hair and his willingness to risk our economic security and way of life just to advance his own political prospects. Boris, eh? Wot a legend.

Today is probably the highlight of his career so far, a meteoric rise that’s taken him from magazine editor to panel show host to mayor of London. Now, with the EU referendum won and David Cameron having announced his resignation, he stands poised to take the final prize, glittering prize.

And so, as one might expect, he left his home this morning, ready to address his legion of adoring fans. Here’s a video.

“You’re an idiot,” one tearful groupie can be heard screaming. “Fucking arsehole!” yells another. “Fuck off Boris!” screams a third.

Then, on the way to make a statement, a group of cyclists blocked the former mayor’s car, dismounting in the road so he couldn’t move.

It’s Beatlemania all over again really, isn’t it?

If anyone wants this mole, it will be hiding somewhere very, very far underground.
