First there was the man from the Sun:

PM avoids an Olympics parade crowd booing by walking on with Princess Anne and Boris – smart.

— Tom Newton Dunn (@tnewtondunn) September 10, 2012

Then the chairman of the Lobby:

V smart to have Boris as a human shield next to him for the Olympic/Paralympic tribute. Ensures no boos at all…

— Paul Waugh (@paulwaugh) September 10, 2012

And then the man from the Mirror:

Smart of Cameron to use Princess Anne & Boris Johnson as human shields at Olympics-Paralympics parade. Can't boo one and not the others

— Kevin Maguire (@Kevin_Maguire) September 10, 2012

Is there an echo in here?
