Boris Johnson Says He Will 'Defend British History' From 'Cancel Culture'

Boris Johnson said Britain is at risk of “cancel culture iconoclasm” during a bombastic speech at the Conservative party conference.

The prime minister said that trying to edit history is similar to a dishonest celebrity trying to change their entry in Wikipedia.

He claimed that the culture warriors want to “re-write our national story” and added: “We really are at risk of a cancel culture and so we conservatives will defend our history and cultural inheritance.”

He made the comments during his keynote speech at the annual conference in in Manchester.
