Who'd Be The Pm Right?

Lorries backed up at Dover as the rest of Europe close their borders to us
A mutant infection adding to a deadly pandemic
And time running out for Brexit talks

Good luck Boris , no other PM in peace time has dealt with anything so bad

[jno]

Boris wanted to be PM right now, he stabbed a lot of backs, and now he's got the job. He'll be judged by how he does it, just as Churchill was.

[emmie]

none going on some on ab, they don't like the party full stop,

[bobbinwales]

We'er in agreement on that judge. Presumably youd agree it would of been lunacy not to shut bars and restraunts and introduce tier 4 too as its that serious.

[emmie]

Churchill was a great leader - the people saw in him a way forward to conquer the enemy, but we are facing a different type of enemy one we can;t kill, unless this vaccine proves to be 100 effective.
And indeed the country did boot him out when the war was over.

[emmie]

have as many tiers as you like bobbin as many bubbles as you like, be as strict as the Chinese in their totalitarian country, won';t stop this from spreading - until an effective vaccine is implemented across the country and thats going to take some while we are stuck with it. I feel sorry for everyone caught up in this mess. all those who have lost loved ones from it, all those who have lost their incomes no fault of their own, my local businesses which have all shut. and so much more.

/Any update on your hushed up policeman shooting that Bojo The Clown as covered up??/

The policeman wasn't shot. He was beaten to death in front of his wife on holiday in Slovakia. Why would I make that up? I didn't say that Johnson had hushed it up. I said that there was no mention of it anywhere, even from the PM.

[emmie]

perhaps he had, has more than enough to contend with.

[10ClarionSt]

On the subject of Churchill; to compare Johnson with him is an absolute joke. Churchill didn't have much of a successful political career until he became PM in 1940. Then, cometh the hour, cometh the man. Churchill was ruthless, some would say even callous. He knew that to win a war, there would be lost battles and people killed in order to achieve victory. Johnsons' only strategy is to tell everyone to keep away from each other and wear a facemask. Don't make me laugh!! :o)

[Jackdaw33]

Churchill may have been booted out but after six years he was welcomed back with open arms. He laid the foundations for thirteen years of uninterrupted Tory rule.

[emmie]

they took 6 years to bring him back,

[emmie]

clarion, you don;t wear one i think you said.

[emmie]

i didn't compare him someone else did

[emmie]

sure someone could find the one of Kinnock falling over.. or any leader screwing up.

[emmie]

Churchill had a lot of help, in winning the war from our allies for one thing. Boris doesn't seemingly he is leader of a party that is infighting, at loggerheads.

[emmie]

and a country that's at war with a deadly pandemic.

//Presumably youd agree it would of been lunacy not to shut bars and restraunts and introduce tier 4 too as its that serious.//

No I wouldn't agree.

There is scant evidence to suggest that bars and restaurants contribute wildly to the infection rate. I read a fairly reliable article last week that suggested they were responsible for no more than about 3% of transmissions. All hospitality outlets have spent large sums making their premises as safe as possible. I use (or at least used up to last Saturday) a number of local restaurants and pubs and in every one of them I feel far safer than I do in Tesco's - and I don't feel particularly vulnerable there unless there are packs of schoolchildren roaming around unchecked. There is some argument to suggest that closing bars and restaurants is actually counter-productive. Whatever would have been eaten or drunk in them must be bought elsewhere now that they have closed and a bun fight in Sainsbury's is far more threatening to health than two people sitting in the corner of a well spaced restaurant. Mrs NJ and I have been out to buy additional supplies this morning as we had three meals out planned for the next fortnight in places that are now closed. We ran a far greater risk of contracting - or spreading - the virus in the two busy shops we visited that we ever would have in the three restaurants we had planned to visit.

Hospitality has been treated appallingly throughout this entire fiasco, being the first places to shut whenever the latest episode of the continual open/close/open/close nonsense occurs. They have been seen as plague pits when there is no sound evidence to back that up. As I said last week, pubs and restaurants in Kent have been closed now for seven weeks. In the first three weeks or so of that period the infections in two areas of the county went from being moderately bad to becoming the two worst areas in England in terms of new infections. The county as a whole now has six of the top ten worst areas. So whatever is driving that increase in Kent, it is not people rolling about drunk in pubs and restaurants.

We are not at war and it is not deadly to the majority of people.

No need for any Churchillian moments but does need someone with some back bone and a bit more knowledge of life than "The ClaSSICS".

[emmie]

no more than i can see up here, but they shut them all the same
my favourite cafe took out most of its diner style chairs and installed two chair tables, fine, but now they are closed again.

[youngmafbog]

You are wasting your time NJ, unfortunately some on here are so indoctrinated by the Government and so called scientists propaganda they are unable to accept any other view. Despite those views being based on real data not the 'Wikipedia' data used by said so called scientists.

The most deadly place for transmitting this virus is Hospital. But of course that is a no-no to mention that.

I shall await the usual "codswallop" with no backup to the statement.
