Boris Johnson ripped to shreds in Scots singer's anti-Tory anthem ahead of General Election

A Scots singer's brutal song asking 'who the f*** is Boris Johnson ' is giving voters a timely reminder of the Prime Minister's gaffe prone political career ahead of the General Election.

Callum Beattie penned his catchy 'Boris Song' as an anti-Tory anthem ripping the Prime Minister to shreds over the NHS, taxes and foodbanks.

The 26-year-old musician, from Edinburgh, first uploaded the song on YouTube back in September but it is now being shared around social media as the nation hits election fever pitch.

Highlights include when Boris rugby tackled former Germany midfielder Maurizio Gaudino during a charity football match.

It wasn't the only clip of his dodgy sporting career on display, with his habit of knocking children over - first playing rugby in Japan and then at a football game in London - included in the montage.

And Callum couldn't resist showing Johnson suspended in mid air during his infamous flying fox photoshoot. Or when he was sent sprawling in a red-faced crumple of messy blonde hair during a tug of war contest.

Viewers were also given a giggle watching the PM tumble into a river from back in 2009.

But we doubt Johnson will want to give the lyrics a listen anytime soon.

The song rips the Tory leader to shreds, saying he's "never been to Scotland's worst council estates" or "used a foodbank in his f*****g life".

Talking about how he "robs people's taxes with deceptive policies", the chorus is punctuated with a rousing call of "who the f*** is Boris?"

Callum, who comes from a working class background, penned the song to make a point that Scots are "fed up with fat cats".

And now election time has rolled around once more, scores of Scots have taken to sharing the "brilliant" song online, calling Johnson 'a liar' and 'embarrassing'.

Independence supporter Callum, who will be voting tomorrow, told the Record: "I just can’t believe anyone is voting for Boris.

"If the polls are right it seems like he will win - what’s wrong with people? Have they never heard him speak?? It puts me in a rage just thinking about it.

“Look at the situation we are in with the homeless problems we have in the country.

"People are dying in the streets and it’s almost 2020. It’s impossible to believe that in this day and age that can be happening.

"He’s hardly mentioned it. Another problem swept under the Conservative carpet!”

"I’ve worked hard all my life but I understand I am in a VERY privileged position to be able to make a living doing something I absolutely love. 

I feel it’s important not to squander that opportunity and that I should stand up and be counted. 

"We desperately need change - a move towards compassion and caring, and if I can play even the tiniest part in helping to change that, I think it’s my mission to do so.”
