So What Was Boris Doing?

When he should have been leading strategy in the early stages of the coronavirus catastrophe?

Diddly, your OP is about Boris Johnson not Brown.

gawd is diddly still digging? That hole must be very deep by now!

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, diddly, if you read all my posts I actually acknowledged that. I also pointed out that Brown did take part in the Briefing Room A meeting.

Very little point in further discussion with rabid Tories who will never admit that Boris should have been at those Cobra meetings.....

[dannyk13]

Diddly, where is it laid down that a PM must attend a Cobra meeting?

[dannyk13]

Diddly, in relation to Cobra meetings.
//Some of its meetings, which tend to be hardly reported, are attended only by civil servants. Others are chaired by departmental ministers – Amber Rudd, when home secretary, chaired a Cobra meeting during the Skripal crisis, for instance. The presence of the prime minister is by no means necessary,//

Very little point in further discussion when people are struggling to see who posted what.

"Very little point in further discussion with rabid Tories who will never admit that Boris should have been at those Cobra meetings....."

and what difference would it have made to your sad little life if he was at them ?...

You sound pretty rabid, diddly. Thread after thread of Boris-hate can't, in anyone's estimation, be regarded as normal. Well, anyone rational that is.

I think you are skirting the issue, Danny. When a COBR meeting is deemed a certain level of importance the PM chairs it. Boris decided that was the case on March 2nd. He may have been right, I don’t claim to know, but I do claim to know that it is fair to question whether he should have made that decision before then; it is as fair as any other question on here.

[Zacs-Master]

Diddly refocuses on the original question when she realise she’s yet again been proven wrong. Thing is, she’s been proved wrong on that too!

Yours faithfully,
A Rabid Tory.

A brief response to ToraToraTora-the reason there are piles of the Guardian is because they contain information for ordinary people not 'trolls' out playing football...this note was by Dominic Cummimgs.
