That’s what I thought, only 2 questions from the public and no questions about Cummings

Perhaps the public realized that would be pointless. The questions are picked by an independent body although there may be some who will refuse to believe that.

The questions from the public don't get through straight away

I asked one before you ask it then within 3 days if it's going to be used your contacted to do a video or opt to have someone read it

Their questions on Cummings won't be ready and also won't make it

I honestly do not think Boris believes what he is saying.

Not sure if ever does?

Can I just say on behalf of schools trying to open up to get kids back into education, thanks Boris for ensuring that parents and staff have a complete lack of trust in anything the government do and say now. Really helpful....

Kind of puts it better than I can. Trust matters in global pandemics.

Quite inappropriate but I expect little else.

There you go again.

I'm not the only one on here to comment on your fondness for having a dig at other posters. And before you start pointing at others, yes, other folk do it occasionally, but with you its like a default behaviour.

It's not doing you any favours. Please don't take this the wrong way as I am trying to be helpful, but it might be a good time for you to have a think about your posting style.

I’ve had nothing but praise for the way this government handled this crisis, don’t believe any other party would of done any better given the circumstances, yes there has been hiccups along the way and yes lessons will be learnt if, god forbid, we had to face anything like this again.

Unfortunately, the cummings saga will overshadow a lot of that good work and the trust the majority of the people put in to this government when we were put in lockdown and told what was expected and how our behaviour was to change.

Obviously this will be over the top for some on here, but right now I genuinely feel more let down by the johnson brief than cumming’s behaviour.

If you lived near a beach you would know this has been the case for a few weeks.

And they come armed with jet skis judging by the racket this weekend.

Boris has made a complete Horlicks of this issue. I really don’t understand how as a politician he believes that his stance is going to satisfy the public. It felt that he had forgotten that government in this country is by consent enacted by ‘popular vote‘ (figuratively speaking). It seemed to have a whiff of dictatorship, in the context of “the bosses can do what they want whilst the plebs do as they are told“.

However did you see Robert Peston’s reaction when they mistakenly went back to him after he failed to get an opportunity for a follow up question. Epic!

There will be a backlash, it may even be the beginning of the end for Boris.

Havent you noticed that's the way it goes here. Just read some of the posts from people that dont like Boris or Cummings. Mines quite mild.

But those posts are aimed towards Johnson and Cummings and neither are on the forum where as your posts are aimed at the posters. Are you offended on behalf of Johnson and Cummins ?

Weird thing is that I hope it isn't. As with the economic ravages caused by Covid 19 and then Brexit on its way, the last thing the country needs now is another prolonged internal Tory party psychodrama whilst they try and decide again what they stand for.

Because he's been doing it & getting away with it for years.

Exactly, what we need is a steady solid government to keep us going over the next few years while the Country in every aspect starts to recover from this, the damage to lives, business’s etc isn’t going to be fixed by the wave of a magic wand, we’ve got some tough times ahead and the last thing we need is another horlicks in the HoC’s.

It is a dictatorship.. they hold a majority... some of you voted them in ... this is what you voted for, suck it up and get on with it!
Those of us who didn’t are completely entitled to bleat, whinge and take the mick ?? ... I do so in the knowledge it has no affect.

Anyone that thinks Boris is at the beginning of the end is barking up the wrong tree, he has more front Blackpool Beach.

There is no room they have a majority, those dissenters will be reminded of their meal ticket and will wet themselves

Majority or not, we still don’t need other distractions, but I understand what you’re saying.
