Moment Keir Starmer is booed by furious crowd for jumping 3-hour queue on family holiday

This is the moment Keir Starmer faced a crowd full of boos after jumping a three hour queue on family holiday.

The PM seemingly side-stepped the long queue, past patiently waiting holidaymakers, to go on the toboggan ride during a winter holiday on the island of Madeira.

Footage circulating online shows the Prime Minister being driven to the front of the line in which some people had waited as long as three hours, before his son and daughter were shown to their seats on the ride.

Several of the onlookers, many of whom were British, reportedly booed as they recognised the person being taken to the front of the line, with one yelling: "Get to the back of the queue”.

Social media users were split on the matter, with many pointing out that it would be unrealistic and unsafe for all if the leader of the UK stood in a busy queue for hours.

Footage shared on TikTok by @sophieontheriviera showed droves of tourists lining up for the ride with the Prime Minister bypassing them.

Had he not been so unpopular there likely would not have been as much booing.

What’s wrong with Lauran O'Toole, the author of this article? It’s not Keir Starmer.
It’s Sir Keir Starmer.

Ms. O'Toole is probably one of those Irish peasant rebels I’ve been reading about. That’s my guess.

He’s not royalty. He waits like everyone else.
(In my world view even “royals “ go to the end of the line. )

It’s amazing to me how visceral people become when someone butts in line. I had a guy that wanted to fight at a baseball
game in San Francisco because he thought I cut the line. I was already in line and watched him walk up and get right behind us! And there were only 7 total people in line! I said “by all means, why don’t you go in front of us sir.” I could have stomped the little moron.

I had a friend who was a ride operator at Magic Mt. (This was a long time ago.) One day, the kid who played one of the characters on the tv show 8 is Enough was brought to the front of the line by his entourage. His manager tried to get him in front, but my friend said no, he's gotta wait like everyone else. The manager demanded to see the ride boss. The ride boss came out, listened, and said, yep, he's gotta wait in line. We don't do stuff like that.

So with lots of hrumphing, the manager took everyone else back to the end of the line. The kid met fans, signed autographs, and so on. When he finally came to the front of the line.....HE WAS TOO SHORT TO RIDE THE RIDE! Oh, well!

Jumping the queue. Rather than waiting in line for his turn.

No wonder this guy loves f*#king Indians so much !

Utterly unspeakable.

These "elites" are evil.

Only now does Sir Keir realize that Queen Elizabeth was joking when she told him that a knighthood allowed him to jump any queue anywhere in the world ...

Starmer will not be allowed to forget that faux pas. The Brits become very upset when someone from the upperclass chooses to cut in line, instead of patiently waiting their turn like those of the lower classes are expected to do.
A couple of their well known talk show hosts nearly lost their jobs after being seen cutting in line to view The late Queen, while she laid in state.

I want to know what idiot would stand in a line for 3 hours to ride a toboggan.

The proper way to handle it is to pay to have it open for the private use outside of normal business hours.
