Re: Who likes Boris?
I like him.
Not sure I like how he’s dealing with Covid, tweaking the rules every two weeks, but I like him & would prefer him to the alternative at the moment.

All 3 promoted above their ability, yet suddenly the media are valuing their opinions because they're Pro-EU etc.

Re: Who likes Boris?
I always find it interesting when the very people who simply cant' understand, hand, face and space, can go into minutia about anything Tory and particularly Boris, they understand complicated trade laws, racism, Irish issues, how much power the UK had in the EU, etc. but just seem incapable of understanding stay safe.

Re: Who likes Boris?
Think it shows how far the UK has fallen as a country when you ignore the blatant lies, corruption, different rules for the privileged, the shocking handling of Covid including using the old as cannon fodder & debt they ran the country into before Covid. This is just the start, wait till the NHS is gone, works contracts a thing of the past, when you’re working on US employment terms there will be real tears, but hey just doff yer cap & take it....

Next you'll be telling us you're pretty certain everyone understands it and follows those simple rules. I noticed with interest on another post it was all the kettle's fault at work that was causing it, the spread that is, and therefore it was a good reason not to go back to work.Granny WeatherWax wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 6:51 pmI’m pretty certain everyone understands hands face space to be honest.

ohhhh how silly of me not to understand that, I am easily confused and thought people were saying it's all Boris's fault, all of it, plus of course we did have the other thread where the usual suspects said they can't understand stay safe, that was just to complicated. Even here, we have plenty saying they can't understand the rules, surely if you don't follow them and you know that you have a chance of killing yourself and a good chance of killing immediate family plus numerous strangers then it's because you don't understand. Or is it your contention that they are deliberately spreading a deadly virus knowing the death rate will go up, perhaps then they can blame Boris for it, no of course not, no one would do that, would they.Granny WeatherWax wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 7:12 pmThere’s a difference between understanding it and taking notice of it.

And Of course a section of the public are complete idiots and would be no matter who was PM but his leadership has certainly made others not bother with the rules too.
Anywhere the thread was about do you like him, I don’t.

The thread title is "Boris Watch"
The majority of British people believe he and his government are doing a good job in unprecedented circumstances.
They've built a hospital for 4000 patients out of thin air in a matter of days , FFS is a minor miracle!!
But even that wont be good enough for those political point scoring lefties whose motto is
"Dont let a good crisis go to waste"

Re: Who likes Boris?
You could start off by explaining why you dislike boris johnson I'm assuming that's the case? it's the easiest thing in world to do to criticise & judge other people when you are not standing in their shoes, if you are polite enough to respond the explanation could include what you feels gone wrong & what should have been done to right them wrongs if multiple mistakes are applicable during his leadership.

We’ve had a senior government advisor take his sick wife across the country, and then have a sixty mile trip for an eye test - and not resign or even apologise.
