Leading Brexit figure Johnson jeered as departs London home

London - Ex-London mayor Boris Johnson, a leading Brexit campaigner and the bookmakers' favorite to replace David Cameron as prime minister, was booed and jeered as he left his London home on Friday.

He said nothing to waiting reporters as he was escorted to his car by police officers with shouts of "scumbag" ringing in his ear.

Britons earlier voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. - (ANA) -
