The Internet Thinks That A Librarian Trolled Boris Johnson With A Hilarious Book Arrangement

In a way, book covers are virtually posters — the visuals are made to represent the events and ideas within. And one school librarian may have recently used them to protest the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Boris Johnson addressed the country’s children as they prepared to return to classrooms. However, As Boris Johnson told children at Castle Rock school in Coalville, Leicestershire, that exam results had almost been derailed by “a mutant algorithm”, observant eyes turned to the bookshelves behind him.

The Internet quickly worked out the message

A spokesperson for Castle Rock school told The Independent they couldn’t answer any questions on whether the books were specifically chosen to appear behind the Prime Minister.

They were also unable to specify when they were placed there.

Which is exactly what solidarity could sound like in a situation like this.
