    Protestors at the ongoing Covid-19 Inquiry held up a chilling six-word sign in the face of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. <\/p>\n

    The ex-PM was sheepish as he sat in front of the inquiry and faced questions from Hugo Keith KC to answer questions about the then-government\u2019s handling of the pandemic. But early on in the proceedings things were brought to a halt by the inquiry\u2019s chair, former Court of Appeal judge Heather Hallett, Baroness Hallett.<\/p>\n

    Johnson began laying out his initial apology at Dorland House in west London, explaining how \u201csorry\u201d he was for the nation\u2019s \u201cpain and loss,\u201d before Baroness Hallett was heard saying: \u201cPlease sit down. Please sit down or I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll have to leave.\u201d Four people were removed from the hearing following their refusal to sit, during which time they also held up a chilling sign for the whole room to see.<\/p>\n

    The sign read: \u201cThe dead can\u2019t hear your apologies.\u201d They left the building following their refusal to sit.<\/p>\n

    The four later told reporters outside that they \u201cdidn\u2019t want\u201d Johnson\u2019s apology. Kathryn Butcher, 59, lost her sister-in-law during the pandemic and told journalists: "We didn\u2019t want his apology. When he tried to apologise we stood up. We didn\u2019t block anybody. We were told to sit down.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe didn\u2019t sit down straight away. One of us stayed standing, so the rest of us came out in solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Many have been left wanting to confront Johson over his claims he did not want to order a second lockdown.<\/p>\n

    Mr Johnson has admitted that \u201cunquestionably\u201d his government \u201cmay have made mistakes\u201d during its handling of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

    The four's stand wasn't the only action surrounding the event, with well-known satirical artist Kaya Mar holding up paintings of a naked Johnson on a crucifix and a naked Prime Minister and then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak naked on the virus.<\/p>\n
