"Boris Johnson's Apology for Covid Deaths Falls Flat"

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was heckled by protesters as he attempted to apologize for the thousands of lives lost to Covid-19 during his time in power. The demonstrators, believed to be from families who lost loved ones, held signs reading "the dead can't hear your apologies." Johnson's government faced criticism for its response to the pandemic, which resulted in over 200,000 deaths in the UK. While Johnson expressed his understanding and deep sorrow for the pain and loss, he did not address specific errors made by himself or his government. The public inquiry is examining decision-making processes during the pandemic, and Johnson's evidence has already faced scrutiny due to missing WhatsApp messages.
