The actress Miriam Margolyes, known among Harry Potter fans for portraying Professor Sprout, said she wished the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, would have died with coronavirus (Covid-19). He had been hospitalized in the ICU after being infected by the virus.
The declaration came after a TV host asked the actress what she was thinking about Johnson’s decisions to control the crisis caused by the disease. “It’s a disgrace, it’s a scandal”, Margolyes said to TV show The Last Leg, from BBC.
“I wanted him to die. Then I thought that I don’t want to be the sort of person that wants people to die. So, then I wanted him to get better, he did get better. But he didn’t get better as a human being.”
