Boris’s £220k water cannon sold on without being used
BORIS JOHNSON’S beloved water cannon will be sold on without ever being used.
New London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced he’d offload the £220,000 cannon just under a year after the Home Secretary scuppered Mr Johnson’s hope of unleashing them on the masses.
The former London mayor bought the Met Police the second-hand cannon from Germany before they were cleared for use in case of a repeat of the London riots.
