Stand By Your Man

[gulliver1]

Boris is standing by Hancock, and refuses to sack him after breaking Covid rules and a few others. Is it now time for the two of them to go. It's one rule for the Cons and another rule for the Public... enough is enough ..... They should both GO.

No Naomi, what is pathetic is your belief that your opinion is the only one that matters on these pages. No-one - not even you, oh Oracle of AB - knows how anyone else would have performed during the last two years. Pathetic!

[ToraToraTora]

naomi 10:40, bang on, people seem to forget there has been a crisis. Can you imagine if Agent Cob and the abacus were in charge? PMSL!

[naomi24]

TTT, tell that to Ken. It might encourage him to think.

You must absolutely stink, TTT, all the PYSL you do.

"he’s made mistakes - but what do you want? Perfection? Where are you going to find that? Get a grip and stop moaning for goodness sake! Count yourselves lucky we have him."

It's a very sad reflection on the state of UK politics when a leader is chosen not because he/she is the best but simply because they are the "least worst" option & no one else is considered capable.

[gulliver1]

Some one on here thinks we are Lucky to have Boris as PM . It was Boris that was Lucky .

davebro: "It's a very sad reflection on the state of UK politics when a leader is chosen not because he/she is the best but simply because they are the "least worst" option & no one else is considered capable." - it would be, when did that happen?

[ToraToraTora]

come on then would anyone here seriously have preferred Agent Cob, the Abacus etc?? Gully for someone that does live here you sure take a lot of interest.

[naomi24]

Dave, you’ve put your own spin on my post. Please don’t do that. I don’t think he’s the ‘least worst’ - and I didn’t say that.

[davebro]

" it would be, when did that happen?"

Since July 2016

[Ken4155]

Why, whenever there is criticism of the government do some of you deflect the discussion to Labour? Who knows how Theresa May would have handled Covid? Gove? Any of the others? Up until the rollout of vaccinations, Johnson has mishandled the pandemic, cherry-picking which scientific advice he follows, then delaying acting on that cherry-picked advice for a number of weeks, allowing case numbers to soar. Wake up and smell the coffee.

[naomi24]

gulliver, when you say 'we', what do you mean? You don't live here. There is no 'we' for you.

I’ve always tried to be fair to Matt Hancock. Not joining in the general mud slinging that has come his way.
Hands up who would have wanted the job of health Secretary over the last 6 months?
Thought not …
And if he really was “hopeless” as accused then it says little for his boss who should surely sack a “hopeless” health Secretary during a pandemic.
But he has zero credibility now and that is not going to make him an asset. Regardless of how well he’s done the job, in a position like his it’s vital you practise what you preach and plainly he hasn’t.
And that’s before you look at the uncomfortable suggestions about his association with Dido Harding

Davebro 10:51 Treason May won in 2016, Boris won in 2019, neither were unopposed. What are you on about, "least worst", ridiculous thing to say.

[naomi24]

Ken,//Wake up and smell the coffee.//

I've woken up and smelt the alternatives - and they stink. Gove, May, Corbyn, Starmer - traitors all - and they all reek to high heaven.

[douglas9401]

I gave up with that line, Ken, speaking the truth to the blindly faithful/wilfully stubborn is a waste of your time.

[naomi24]

Who do you want to replace them, douglas?

[davebro]

"Davebro 10:51 Treason May won in 2016, Boris won in 2019, neither were unopposed. What are you on about, "least worst", ridiculous thing to say."

Stop quoting selectively!!! I went on to say "& no one else is considered capable".

[douglas9401]

I have no idea, naomi, and if I did I'm not sure I'd make it known for fear of the pressure of haughty disdain coming from your direction.

I'm quite sensitive y'know.

[naomi24]

Coward.
