'I believe Boaty McBoatface won petition..' MP ribs mandarin - Daily Mail

Watch as business chief Martin Donnelly squirms in his seat during a committee when he tries desperately not to say the name Boaty McBoatface, despite being pressed by Richard Bacon MP. The £160,000-a-year civil servant finally caves in after being asked four times. His words will now be recorded forever in Parliamentary record Hansard.

You just know that the British government is never going to ask the public to name another thing ever

[@neonnwave1]

They leave that to the USA. There was a school that wanted to change their name, so they asked the internet. Two of the suggested names were (no joke): Boaty McBoatface and Adolf Hitler....... Yeah :/ Meanwhile in South Korea, a streamer asked his chat for what punishment he should receive if he lost at Fall Guys. They suggested he light his crotch on fire...... which he did..... multiple times...... and got 2nd degree burns as a result. Lesson here: Never ask the internet for suggestions.

They have no credibility anymore. Boaty McBoatface is the only name it should be called.

Martin Donnelly was doing his best to not say Boaty McBoatface won, but the voice of the people could not be denied! #boatymcboatface 🚢

[@matthewrichard9626]

Why couldnt they just call it Boaty McBoatface?

[@Sumi_Yoshizawa]

because they're cowards

[@TheConspiredOne]

@@Sumi_Yoshizawa Because they are the high ups and the terribly British.

[@gubgub3275]

​@@TheConspiredOne If they were being terribly British then it would be called something worse. We have a brilliant sense of humour

[@JohnRNewAccountNumber3]

​@@gubgub3275Apparently not.

[@abandonedaccount123]

i love how his name tag is slightly obscured so it's "CHARD BACON"

[@ethansmith9065]

That man has incredibly small hands or is that just me?

[@sandybennett_itsme]

Perhaps this was a test to see if the people actually have a say as they were told they did. You failed the test to confirm, the people have no say in Government.

[@calebreutener870]

Just another example of people of authority deciding that they know better than the populis.

Populace?
