Boris a joke

[turbo]

Did Wales and Scotland open their beaches, city centres, countryside for those residents of Scotland or Wales regardless of how far they had travelled back in May? If the best defence of Boris is not how good he is but how bad others are then thats a clear acknowledgement of his failures, not sure I'd land a job if I wrote "Im useless but the alternatives are even worse" on my CV. As @Henarar says, we elected him and his idiots cohorts so have to suck it up, but this blindly believing in Bo "can do no wrong" Jo is blinkered stupidity and just the sort of audience that gets the likes of BJ and DT elected.

You really don’t like democracy do you!

While I understand where you are coming from can you suggest any person or political entity who has demonstrated the ability to do better or offered such help at the time?

I wonder how many people voted Conservative not because they particularly wanted Boris in charge but because they didn't want any of the others? lots I would think, same in the US with Trump from the little I know about it
nobody seems to stand out these days, just go with the best of a bad bunch

who does when it don't get you what you want ?
seen it after the EU ref, lots of folk shouldn't have been allowed to vote apparently
I suggested jokingly it should be based on class, that went down well old folk shouldn't have voted apparently as it wouldn't affect them for long

I find it highly amusing that some struggle with the fact that others vote is as good as theirs

What idiot , at the outbreak of a respiratory pandemic, would chuck all the Elderly patients out of hospital With pneumonia, without checking first as to the cause of the symptoms? Did it not occur to anyone that they may already have the virus!
The first rule of infection control , is to stop movement. I spent some years in hospital , as a child patient, it was a crime of the first order to stray into a neighbouring ward, such was the fear of cross infection. Today thanks to the huge over reliance on anti biotics, you now that buzz word they always accuse farming of. That reliance on antibiotics to control infection that all the old rules have been scrapped, patients move from ward to ward, visitors come and go Willy nilly. Nobody gave a thought to this massive reservoir that was being transferred to nursing homes, where staff are not nurses, they are carers, not trained in university, but recruited at minimum wage from where ever they can find them, which is generally at the bottom of the employment barrel as most have precious few qualifications.
These people do some of the worst jobs in society, well I think wiping old peoples a****s , feeding and trying to keep them happy on minimum wages, just so that the children of these people do not waste their inheritance on care home fees

Maybe I'm reading the last part wrong, but I'm not sure how putting someone in a care home saves inheritance

He's saying wages in care homes are low because people don't want to waste their "inheritance" on care home fees.

As I understand it a local authority does not have the interests of personal or family assets .. knowing some of those who run such organisations they would think nothing of taking what was yours for a song if you allowed them to.

I’ve never rejected the result of a vote be it “the” ref or a GE, Indeed the post you quote of mine states “we elected him and his idiots cohorts so have to suck it up” I believe that’s democracy unless you don’t understand democracy how democracy works. You said Scotland and Wales followed England (a week later) - I asked if that was correct, how about answering the question rather than going off on an irrelevant tangent about democracy.

There’s a difference between not liking democracy and Not liking what it delivers, in which case not one of us like democracy at one time or another. Don’t forget the great NF said a close call of 52/48 would not be the end of the matter, but then when it went in his favour it’s “democracy”. It’s quite telling the one thing hard core Brexiteers really can’t stand is someone who voted remain respecting and accepting the result of the ref. Democracy is “knowing what the people voted for and ensuring they get it hard and fast”.

We didn’t elect another, we elected the current crowd, maybe our expectations are too high or maybe their simply met them In which case we need a long look at ourselves if this level of leadership is what we are actually happy to endorse.

My remark was aimed at the opposition, co-opted advisers, and any other person of note who wants to offer advice. The problem is that most of them say nothing until after the event and then start criticising and retrospective comment is of no practical help in providing guidance for the past.

 

[Raider112]

Really .... and the basis for your clever insights are?
Don’t bother to answer that. Wouldn’t want you to have to put a coherent answer together this early in the morning.

You know, you come across as a clever fella who could contribute a lot to this forum if your first instinct wasn't to go for sarcasm time and again.

But its far more fun to wind up the Brexiteers

 

[Ncap]

so are you

Quipped he. 'You are welcome to it' implies I don't want it.

As more information about Covid 19 emerges it is obvious that there is no manual on how to handle it. Even the experts have now decided that it can travel distances in the atmosphere and not just on larger water droplets, much in the same way as the flu virus can. How would such knowledge have changed strategy employed across the globe? No doubt the smart arses who criticise after the event will have some answers. Moreover there is some concern that those who have been infected and suffered severe reaction may be unable to fully recover and suffer brain damage as some did after Spanish flu. (No Boris jokes please).

I wouldn't have expected it to be the end of the matter but turning it around has it and will it be the end of the matter now ? I fully expect those that want the UK to be in the eu to push to re join and that is fair enough, if they win a vote to re join then so be it, if you remember I have said on numerous occasions that we should have had votes long before the EU ref on changes like Maastricht in order to take the people of the country with the government on these changes or not as the case may have been, I think had this been done and our gov hadn't just forged ahead without holding a ref that the UK would still be in the EU.
anyway that's all a bit bye the bye now but I could hardly think that and then suggest that we should never have another vote on EU membership or anything else for that matter, how often we could/should have such votes is another matter

I agree, we have a recent to the bottom with the leaders and the opposition chasing each other down rather than encouraging up.

Not really sure what you are on about. The 5 mile max travel ban ended in Wales a couple of days ago, not that anyone took any notice anyway. It was precisely because Boris was less sh!te than Corbyn, and the pathetic Lib Dem candidate that nailed her stop Brexit colours to the mast, that he got in. Best of a bad bunch I'm afraid. As I said, if it weren't for the remainers f**king Brexit up, we might still have Theresa May as PM ( not that she was much good either ). If Corbyn had stuck to his earlier principles of leaving Europe and not flip flapping on the fence, he could have been elected.
Remainers have been responsible for 4 years of sh!te. Should have manned up 4 years ago, accepted the referendum result, and got on with it.

Dear Lord man, what are you smoking. Boris in the end, signed up to 99.99% of the Teresa May deal with EU!!!!! The lunatic fringe of Tory Party, and the DUP scuppered Teresa’s Brexit. Changed leaders, but not the essence of the TM exit deal.
BTW, where is JRM? Has he rotted back into the eighteen hundreds?
