Boris the PM - a new beginning

[MegaSteve]

What is wrong with someone asking for some evidence where a claim is made that refers to something that was read?

Can't see what's right about it myself... Which is why I've never asked another to post a link... Seems un-gentlemanly, to me, to do so...

 

[Hobbit]

Hang on, wasn't it you who kept asking me for proof that the govt had set a target of testing 100k people a day?

Well there's a shock. The village idiot has come out to play.

 

[User20204]

You say that him nearly dieing was a stunt,.

I said, it being said that he nearly died was a stunt, I never said him nearly dying was a stunt, two completely different things.

Don't you find it just in the slightest a little bit suspicious that they have just come out with that now ?

If the PM of this country "nearly died" we'd have heard all about it long before now, that is why I believe the now subsequent Lazarus news of the PM nearly dying just all a bit wishy washy, don't you think ?

 

[IanM]

I guess Boris was down the pub playing darts eh?

That's right, get nasty when someone highlights your hypocrisy.

 

[rudebhoy]

You say that him nearly dieing was a stunt, I challenged that and gave you a BBC article where a couple of nurses who helped him explained how I'll he was but you insist it was a stunt.
He and his partner can name their baby after whoever they wish and naming it after a doctor is a nice touch. It takes a certain kind of cynicism to suggest it was a stunt.

Honest question - I checked the link you provided and can't see any quotes from the nurses, did you post the wrong link?

That's odd. When I read that link it had the part about Boris and then it went on to a section where the two nurses who looked after him explained their experience.

Popcorn at the ready. This has potential....

He was barely credible and then he started waffling about plans for his succession.
Those plans are already in place permanently as with Pope, Queenie, St Johnstone FC manager etc., load of the usual self serving jingoistic nonsense.

A good maxim...

"The stronger the vitriol the weaker the logic."

I suspect lockdown is having a bigger impact on people then they realise.

Not very well deflected! Kindly answer the question!

funny it didn't stop you during the brexit or GE thread you were quite happy to be pretty personal and rude and insulting to anyone who didn;t agree with you?

 

[patricks148]

Paul, I'm not saying that any of this pandemic and its decision making is down to any other party, I'm simply saying that whatever the thread, whatever the discussion there are one or two on here who time after time call out the Conservatives, Boris and Parliament, but their own Government is absolute crap it would just be refreshing if they acknowledged that some times

why you don't??

'A new beginning' then. How appropriate!

Hmmm. Before the thread was closed I was simply going to observe that the most at risk patients are put onto a ventilator. Our PM was fortunate that his condition was not serious enough for him to be put onto a ventilator. Of course he could have arrested suddenly or taken a very rapid turn for the worse. However given that we now have 28,000 deaths and many families mourning the loss of loved ones - maybe his advisors could just have considered whether or not we actually needed to know more from him and in a particular newspaper about his condition than we already knew - that he was very ill from Covid-19. I wish him well in his recovery.

I will just add that the reason I say this is that if we must all be kept on board the current strategy and accept new ones - as we must - then we all need to be confident that everything the pm says and does is without self or party interest, and that there is no ulterior motive. As he himself said on his return, openness and clarity about all and everything we are asked to do is essential. That is his new beginning for me.

I need to trust. At the moment I am still on-side.
