(WATCH) Boris Johnson: "Feed Humans to Animals"
Boris Johnson today urged young children to “feed human beings to animals” in a bizarre joke about rebalancing nature. The Prime Minister made the eyebrow-raising comment at press conference for kids aged eight to 12 in his Downing Street media room.
Speaking ahead of next week’s COP26 summit in Glasgow, the PM admitted he is “very worried” the climate change gathering will not convince 197 nations to keep global warming to less than 1.5C in the future.
And the PM interjected when WWF UK chief executive Tanya Steele, who was co-hosting the press conference, encouraged him to start “rewilding our oceans”.
Mr Johnson also said: “We could feed some of the human beings to the animals, that would, that would be…” before tailing off.
