BEWDLEY, England - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was heckled by some residents when he visited a flood-hit area in central England on Sunday, after the water had subsided.
Last month was the wettest February on record for the United Kingdom, with a succession of storms bringing widespread flooding to many areas. With waters now having subsided, Johnson on Sunday visited Bewdley in central England to see the recovery operation. Speaking to reporters during his visit, Johnson said: “It is all too easy for a prime minister to come to a place in the middle of an emergency, it is not so easy frankly for the emergency services because ... they are then diverted from their work for hours and hours.”
