Nope it's because he couldn't be heard over the rabble. Very unprofessional of Luxembourg not to move it inside like he wanted.

Being insulted by a country that is so small it might as well be a county really is not convincing us to stay. It is pettiness that has hardened Leavers, and frankly the threat that they will veto a Brexit extension is an empty threat as he will never bite the EU hand that feeds him.
Where do you get the idea that the EU wants you guys to stay? The initial extensions were about you guys putting together plans that weren't self-contradictory, and after that plan was rejected it looks to me that the others have been about giving the EU time to brace for a no deal Brexit.
They want us to stay because money. Simple as that.

But also unprofessional. Would it really have hurt him to just go inside?

For a politician giving up because of an angry crowd is very unprofessional. If he was unprepared for this he should have never gone into politics.

So Boris lost again, this time in the Supreme Court. Parliament is coming back a few weeks early, and he's says he won't resign while others are calling for his resignation.

Very professional on BOTH sides. Luxemburg organizes a crowd to shout down Boris, they would do that wouldn't they? Boris would have spoken to a hostile crowd that was willing to listen and give counter-arguments. The crowd's duty was to shout down Boris, they would never listen.

Brendan Behan said "They court-martialed me in my absence. They sentenced me to death in my absence. They can shoot me in my absence." Likewise, Boris said "They can shout me down in my absence." And the Crowd did indeed shout down Boris in his absence, they did not need Boris to be there.

Allow me to walk onto the stage, for a moment, to say my piece...

*snorts and snickers*

Thank you, dear audience, I will leave the stage now.

Idea of Luxemburg some how organizing crowd to shout down single politician is so silly that it seems like one of fantasies that people you that don't like in reality have. And it most likely is. I doubt you can prove that fantasy of your's to be true giving me no reason to take you seriously ever again. It did give me good laugh I give you that.

Luxemburg is so small, everybody knows everybody. To organize a rabble, all you gotta do is whisper to Aunt Dolly at the Post Office, then by lunchtime everybody will know.
