Boris Shambles

[needawin]

just watched that dithering idiot Johnson on the daily update this afternoon.
God help us all! The man has no grip on the situation at all.
If I was stranded in Peru I would opt to stay there rather than return to the UK

[jackthehat]

What would you suggest?

[Theland]

No grip? Why?

[ToraToraTora]

I see, another anti British popinjay using the crisis to score political points. You lefties just can't turn it off can you? This is a crisis like none seen since WW2 and yet all you can do is attack your own side. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[ubasses]

I have not seen today's update, but as everything the Government announces has been advised by the Chief Medical and Scientific Officers, who are we to argue.

[Jackdaw33]

Well said, TTT

[ToraToraTora]

you could always get a plane to Peru.

[Theland]

If you were stranded in Peru, I would give your plane ticket to three boxes of Peruvian toilet rolls and leave you there to live on Machu Pachu or whatever that caravan park is called.

I didn't catch it, can you give me a quick synopsis?

[NickorWan]

I agree, not the time for this sort of criticism. Support what you are being told to do whatever your political bias.

[bhg481]

Much as I dislike Boris I cannot see how he could have handled the situation better than the way he has. He has taken advice from experts in their fields and made recommendations based on it.

[ToraToraTora]

sorry nickor, mistook you for the OP!

[royfromaus]

Merkel in quarantine after doctor tests positive for virus
Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor has gone into quarantine after being informed that a doctor who administered a vaccine to her has tested positive for the new coronavirus.

More as we get it.





What a field day some would have it that name was Johnson rather tham Merkel.

[Togo]

I suggest that you ignore all the advice that our PM is eloquently giving, aided by his able and for once loyal civil servants, and throw caution to the wind. Who knows, with a bit of luck and providential consequence.......you may catch the virus, to save someone who doesn't deserve it, the bother of getting it on your behalf.

[Canary42]

So by default, because of the crisis we have to support a bumbling idiot.

In the WW2 crisis we replaced the bumbling Chamberlain by someone with balls - we should do the same again before it's too late.

[Canary42]

/// He has taken advice from experts ///

Dominic "let the old people die" Cummings being his chief advisor.

[retrocop]

I think his concise information at press conferences is excellent. He is patient and answers all he can. He is happy to turn to his advisers during questions.He is calm and showing true leadership.

[ToraToraTora]

the names the spiteful are using are merely opinions of those who cannot bear to not get their own way and are incapable of being on their own side as a result.

[royfromaus]

And you know that to be true, Canary?
Or don't you actually care, you will spread it anyway?
