Nottinghamshire school told children they must not leave common room while un-named ‘minister’ was on premises

Pupils at a Nottinghamshire school were ‘locked’ way – shut in a room and ordered not to come out – while Boris Johnson visited today.

Outraged parents related the facts on social media:

My son’s school has locked the sixth formers in their common room until 1145, because an unnamed Cabinet Minister is visiting the school. Who could it be that is afraid of contact with 6th Formers🤔? — Anne Szymanska (@SzymanskaAnne) November 8, 2019

Well he had the 6th firm locked in their common room when he visited a school in Nottingham today, so can't see him accepting your invite. Real man of the people — Tam Dolan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 (@tamdolan) November 8, 2019

It was Johnston. And just to clarify, they were not physically locked in. The were just told they were not allowed out of the common room until the unnamed MP was ‘safely off the premises’. — Anne Szymanska (@SzymanskaAnne) November 8, 2019

Anger was raised even to an even greater intensity by the fact that the school has suffered brutal cuts under the Tories:

Boris Johnson’s ‘man of the people’ shtick has been exposed. On the same day that he hid from a hospital in ‘black alert’ status to visit one nearby – like any NHS hospital, it is barely avoiding collapse too – he had children shut away so he could visit a school without fear of having to meet them or hear the impact of Tory cuts on their education.

He is a coward – and all the stage-managed PR stunts in the world cannot hide it.
