Right On Cue.

[gulliver1]

Boris Johnson, refuses to look at a picture of a four year old boy, suffering from Pneumonia ,lying on a NHS hospital floor, because a bed can not be found .Boris then snatches the phone away from the reporter who was showing it to him , then Boris pockets the phone , The NHS is safe in the hands of the CONS, ?, Eh!..

Editor's note:
Here is the news article.

Maybe but his reaction and subsequent actions were wrong. I can imagine Conservative Central Office cringing.

18.21 but jezza ain't the Prime Minister is he , Boris is ! that's the difference !.

[anotheoldgit]

All part of the problem is Labour's support of mass immigration, but it is not only the NHS that is bending under the weight but housing and schools etc.

[Boto]

Surely the problem is that there are too many people using the NHS? I understand it was flu and tonsillitis not pneumonia. The mother said she didn’t want her son used as a “political football “ - too late.

[gulliver1]

Oh dear! It looks like someone has been allowed out for the day.

you cant even manage to come up with anything new as a put down, just copy what youve seen others on here write about you...

'Right on cue'. I think you've accidentally stumbled on the truth, Gully.

[retrocop]

Not exactly current apparently. This photo shoot was filmed in 2016. Almost Fake News if they are trying to tarnish the current P.M. who has not held office for less than half a year.

[Togo]

Does anyone know if the boy is OK? Is he now in a Hospital bed? Is this how it happened? Does the boy's father know about this? Will his mother's benefits be affected if the boy has to stay in hospital?

""Jack was taken into Leeds General Infirmary last week after being ill for six days, his mother told the Mirror.
His mother said he had been seen as soon as he arrived and given a bed and oxygen, but a few hours later the bed had to be given to another patient and Jack was left without one for more than four hours.
His mother said she then made a makeshift bed for her son with coats and took the picture.""

P.S. The lad was sent home the next day and was far from desperately ill. The child who was given the bed that he was using under false pretences probably was.

[Mamyalynne]

This is getting very confusing, one poster says the photo is 3 years old and another asks about the Mother's benefits and says the child was there under false pretences.

Anyone else mixed up or is it just me?

[Old_Geezer]

Whether the boy's condition is as reported or not, whether Boris could've acted better or not; it seems pretty low to try to make political capital out of the situation. Seems the dirty tricks brigade are finding their level. In any case it has no relevance regarding who is best suited to run the country. Only one major party was trying to progress democracy and the democratic decision.

I mentioned about the IV in a previous post, and looking at the photo again I don't even think that it's hooked up, and even if it is it's not doing any good just lying on the floor Also, if a child, or anyone else for that matter, is admitted to a hospital and undergoing any kind of treatment is it usual for them to be wearing their own clothing?

[gulliver1]

20.12, How does Togo know the Mother is claiming Benefits ?

[ummmm]

I said exactly the same about the IV. It's not attached, or doesn't appear to be.

[THELOONYCORBYN]

yet another post thats backfired on the challenged OP...
