Prime Minister Boris Johnson is a former student of Balliol College, Oxford. With his parliamentary shutdown, effectively a political coup, Johnson has seriously undermined democracy in the United Kingdom. Despite the far-reaching and devastating implications of a no-deal Brexit for many of its students and members of staff, Balliol College has yet to condemn his actions.

With this petition, we hope to show the College that many of its members are appalled by these actions, and to call upon it to publicly disavow Boris Johnson insofar as:



1) Boris Johnson should be prevented from attending any Balliol College events, and from entering College grounds;

2) Depictions of or tributes to Boris Johnson, such as portraits, should not be commissioned or displayed on College premises;

3) His alumni status and any benefits that that may entail should be suspended with immediate effect.

Balliol College's student body has consistently demonstrated its commitment to democratic values. We call upon its members to sign this petition in order to to put pressure on College administration to take definitive action in this matter.



Please sign this petition, and share it widely. Thank you.
