Former London mayor and major "Leave" campaigner Boris Johnson may well succeed David Cameron as Britain's next prime minister. But not everyone is impressed by him. Johnson's car was bombarded by Remain supporters who booed and hissed as he left his home Friday morning.
However, the disappointment of one major Remain supporter might hit Johnson where it hurts. Appearing on several television programs Friday morning, Johnson's father, Stanley Johnson, wore an impossible-to-miss "Remain" sweatshirt and blasted his son's support of the Brexit:
"Not that I'm going to bother him about this," the elder Johnson told the BBC, "but I just think these are the crucial issues, we need to look ahead as we rebuild this relationship."
