- Boris Johnson was confronted by residents in flood-hit Stainforth, Doncaster, who accused him of doing nothing to help flood victims. Billie Troops, who has been part of the volunteer workforce, questioned the prime minister's remarks about flood defences: 'Is that a promise though, Boris? Because you promised us months ago that you were going to give our community £25m to make the community better, for town funds. We're still waiting for it'

I'm just relieved (and shocked) that his initial response wasn't "All I can say is get Brexit done!"
This makes me proud to be from Doncaster
@Mackem Scouse Because none of us were having it from Boris 😂
This is why Boris has a hard job or running the Country with these type of people .....Why is she not slagging the Queen or Royal Family for not being there.....Education is a MUST IN DONCASTER
Austerus Tertius Tutelus they aren’t in charge of the country are they? They would be there if they were
What the worst town in England 😂
@@jackmumby1255 best*
That woman is awesome!! Lettjng him have it!! If only another 20 million Btits had her grit and passion; the Tories would be finished in a week!!
Susan durant she is the mayor of my village actually
She's brilliant. I wish her the very best in life
Let's just be clear ,never mind boris were is your local Labour councillors , were is ed Miliband ,?
@@bobrail733 venice floods also the work of Borris
I guess it's beneath the PM to care for British people.
@@utubebroadcaster Yes because comrade Corbyn or Jo Swineson would do a far superior job..
@@itsokrocklee8252 even a 💩 could outdo Boris
Ed was there, as was Corbyn.
Plot twist:
The Tories dont care
No.... would'nt have guessed that in a million years!
Of course they don’t.
Politicians don't care. Who'd have funk it
They should have left as soon as he start speaking.
He'd have been safer in that ditch then actually addressing the people's disappointment in him.
@Jeb Riley your ignorance has no limits..
Please upload the entire uncut video, Thank you.
The guardian lol I like it
He probably walked away and said bloody pheasants
Who can blame him
I think you mean *peasants*
@@bjnz as long you know what I meant .
At least he turned up, may wouldnt have.
he turned up because he knew 5 days into this problem he had to show his face..he is doing this for votes..no other reason. i do not believe he cares one single bit about those people. you can tell he is out of place and avoiding the questions.
A months rain fall in 24 hours yep that is boris's fault
Taking 5 days to bother to show up.. yep, totally his fault and how out of touch he is with British people.
@Mackem Scouse what other tragic event is going on in the UK in the last 5 days would require his attention other than PR school visits?
If it were any other party leader (that wasn't Farage), they'd get crucified within 48hrs for not visiting.
@Mackem Scouse Yes, leave Grenfell to the local MP and councillor. PM has no business there.
@Mackem Scouse cupcake beasts works for the guardian the poor sausage
I really don't like Boris, but him, or any other PM, being there would not have changed a thing. Yes it's a nice gesture, but that's all it is, a gesture. Rather delegate someone who can actually help to get there and make money available. I don't understand why a PM, President or whoever is the current head of whatever country has to be there in person. It's a gesture, yes, but it doesn't help anyone, and the money and time spent on that visit could have been spent for actual help. Such visits are political gestures "look I visited, that means I care," one cannot possibly care from behind a desk.
Excuse me that is not Boris fault and its not the way to talk to the Prime Minister she should have shown some manners
He is an unelected toff...who cares not a jot for anything but his position. You earn respect. And he is a coward, a liar, and a racist.
@@hanadelajoy cupcake you watch tomuch leftwing media you fool
@@MaggieOliver68 bless your cotton socks Leo... no I have read his racist columns, he went to Eton and has never had to work a day in his life, can't even hold a mop,and he has a proven record of avoiding conflict,questions and filibustering. He was not even elected to be there and is a jumped up part, who could run a piss up in a brewery and that's about it. Anyway, that's my cupcake opinion Leo.... I have a variety of opinions that would be considered left and right wing, ...am pro Brexit, anti hate and racism, pro the NHS and think we should take better care of the planet.
Just imagine The prime minister of India being called by his first name!!!
That grumpy old man on the end of the table is a labour activist. He was on sky news.
At least Boris faces the music. He doesn’t shy away from criticism like Theresa May did! Boris also faced the 2011 riots.
He reluctantly refused to cut short his holiday in Canada to return to London several days after the riot his own cuts had led to.
Beasts People like you will never be satisfied but you won’t like a Corbyn Goverment!! So just stop whinging
So he picks up a broom when the riots happened and now picks up a mop for the floods what a liar he has done nothing and will do nothing what a piece of 💩
@@utubebroadcaster ello cupcake remember me lets be honest Boris as been fighting like the english people but we fighting against pur curruption.
@@utubebroadcaster Another leftie spreading absolute nonsense. The riots were do with the shooting of Mark Duggan, absolutely nothing to do with cuts at all.
I dont see anyone else up there and as people mentioned not even their local council. Why didn't they respond first and get the message to mr Johnson. They are the ones that have failed.... THEIR local council!
FFS the local councillors where knee deep in the water filling and distributing sand bags, organising safe houses for the people who got flooded out along with the local MP's - Her talking is actually the local Mayor.
This is why Boris has a hard job or running the Country with these type of people .....Why is she not slagging the Queen or Royal Family for not being there.....Education is a MUST IN DONCASTER
They need an EU grant for the flooding issues. 😁
Had the PM been on site, what could he actually do for folk?
Well said lady
Is it not the local councils responsibility first to do something about the immediate issues, as opposed to the prime minister? I'm struggling to understand why Boris is to blame for the local (LABOUR) council not doing a single thing for 5 days?
I hate Boris, but he’s the Prime Minister, it’s really unmannered of that woman to call him by his first name, it makes her look indecent… if it was any other PM, they would’ve gotten angry, but Johnson takes his job too lightly, that’s why he didn’t care, and doesn’t deserve to be the PM, but please, learn to show some respect nonetheless!
How do you feel about respect to him now eh
Show Boris respect 😂😂 Prime Ministers work for the public, they need to give us respect first
Story would have been different if the people did this to Thatcher or Cameron
Johnson is very soft character
1:00 ''I did come up immediately to Matlock in Derbyshire.....''-----We do not care about Matlock! We are the most important people in the Universe!!Yes Boris .And how many bags of sand you laid down?I put 4.She put 5.We were on the phone all day calling you PM for help. And remember Obama ???????He came to New Orleans straight away- after 3 weeks.And you are not Obama. Shame on you. Who?
narancauk why r u talking alone?
Thatcher destroyed the north.....are you trolling?
He was dealing with Brexit. He can't care less about people
@bucketsandshims After these floods, there'll be fish for everyone. British local produce, not EU!
@bucketsandshims kippergate
So where was Doncaster council nowhere Stainforth is nothing to Doncaster council
These people just want to get on TV and get some attention. What would boris have done 5 days earlier? Brought a big bucket with him? It would make no difference. He was advised not to visit because the work of the fire & rescue services would have had to stop. No doubt he would have been wrong for doing this too. Lose lose situation for the PM
Do you still support him now eh
@@James_Doyle83 yes
Just waiting on aid now from around the world were quick enough to give now lets receive for a change to help these people affected
The Department for Environment have had their budget cut in half over the last decade.
That's who looks after the rivers and waterways... Or would if they had the money to.
It is completely preventable, of course, we have the infrastucture, it's just that policy, under the Tories, has been to slash budgets without concern for the consequences. Even though the fallout from this and a similar flooding near me earlier this year will cost more to fix than it would have to simply maintain the waterways/drainage/rivers, etc, etc properly they'd rather gamble on things not going wrong than to just be fiscally responsible.
This, unfortunately, is Tory policy in a nutshell.
Zero foresight.
Now people have payed with their homes and in some cases their lives and we've all had to pay a lot more in funding. They won't learn from this though and environmental funding will be slashed again, if they're allowed yet another term and even more disasters will happen as a result.
One of the main problems with the conservative government is they wait until things are sooo bad before they actually do anything, Grenfell Tower Disaster, lateness going into lockdown, party gate, the cost of living crisis and the railway strikes it's all just getting ridiculous now I totally understand these peoples anger and frustrations the government in general need to do much more and be held accountable for their actions
Would like to see the whole of this video.. it's about time borris heard it for his own ears from the people what a crisis we are in.. rather then hear it through corbyn or Swinson
What crisis are *we* in?
@@bjnz floods mate.. normally he would get slandered in the house for not helping with floods etc.. but this time he can hear it from the people's own mouth
@@JohnSmith-gj3hg Relativerly, maybe... but one person has died compared to thousands who die in similar events in Third World countries. Also suicide rates and drug abuse seem more of an issue than this form of "climate change".
@Scumspawn ***** i agree mate
Surely the first port of call is you local Mp to organise a speedy operation.
What did he do?
Blaming the Pm is easy when he is there. Where is your local Mp?
May be someone can answer this question.
Are the majority of effected homes built on what was flood planing?
Thats a wee bit hard on the poor chap Boris He can't be everywhere on every day and he has got the country to run. He doesen't have a magic wand either. There are a lot of things he could do to hepl tho without costing a fortune but he has no experience with these types of problem.
@Scumspawn ***** yes I agree with that point.
@@rhys45 I know Doncaster well and yes you guys don't like Boro much but the Labour guy is worse so you have a big problem I know.
Ignorant people questioning someone who is not.
I think these people don’t know the job description of a PM of the GB and NI.... nowhere does it state in there that he should be out on the first day when an area sees floods... this is the job of your local MP... sorry but where is your labour MP?
False
this is democracy....south asia leader learn from british pm
And Boris why are you not in Venice????
Stockings song couldn't end
They calling him by his name
What an embarrassment
Don’t worry guys he had his flat to refurbish..
This is so awkward😅😅😅😅😅
Relivent to Victor
His advisers are going lock him in the same room they locked May. Car crash
At least he’s there having a listen and trying to make it out
Not many politicians would sit down and listen to upset people like this. Credit to Boris.
He massively won the next election.
Legends 👏
Money problems
I understand theres an underlying issue here.... But please someone tell me that I am not the only one that noticed that the loud mouth used only female examples as to who was affected and who was helping.... Me and 10 other ladies, little girl no shoes, old lady etc .... Just a thought
Boris went to a dole head city am not surprised he got ambushed they want more benefits lol
They didn't want more benefits, they wanted Boris Johnson to not pretend like these floods are not a serious matter. Why did it take Boris Johnson so long to even visit the place?
@@MrJason005 show up on day one newspapers its a pr stunt run a country and be everywhere.

I'd like to know how flood aid for the nw of England was stopped under Blair to be rerouted for Ethiopian lesbian centres in York,Leeds and Manchester Ohhhhh conveniently forgotten
I find the woman talking opposite boris about her 3 daughters soo attractive ❤️❤️❤️
Now people hate boris now vote labour
Tony Davies so where is their local labour mp ??
365 - 203
because he was busy doing a kids party
Lady Laois fantastic 😂
@@livcantdance387 hows that 7yr boy getting on in court fighting to stay a boy can you guess what psrty is doing it to him.
captured and speechless
Really not much he can do that he hasn't already. It's more of a responsibility of the local [Labour] council and representatives.
This is why Boris has a hard job or running the Country with these type of people .....Why is she not slagging the Queen or Royal Family for not being there.....Education is a MUST IN DONCASTER

It's just the beginning of sorrows.

Klaunas!!!
Corbyn landed yet! This looks like a job for Superman!
All never trumpers, I guess.
Oh shut up!
