Burger King trolls Johnson with ‘Whopper on the side of a bus’
The Burger King fast food franchise has mocked Conservative leader Boris Johnson’s lies – by putting its own whopper on the side of a bus.
The advert has appeared on a red London bus. Alongside a picture of a burger, the text reads: “Another Whopper on the side of a bus. Must be an election.”
It is a dig at Mr Johnson, who supported the false claim of Vote Leave in the EU referendum campaign, that the UK sent £350 million a week to the EU.
Mr Johnson said the money could be better-spent on the NHS.
The claim was false, and was widely criticised with UK Statistics Authority chairman Sir David Nosgrove describing it as a “clear misuse” of official figures”.
A Burger King spokesman said: “As the Home of the Whopper, we felt that if anyone has the right to stick whoppers on the side of a bus, it’s us.”
For details of further whoppers told by Boris Johnson, read the Conservative manifesto.
