Don’t presume to tell me what I might have to say on any matter.

 

Argue with what I have said, not what you imagine I might say.

So your explanation for criticism of Johnson’s appalling performance re COVID-19 is to abuse the media of being ‘remainers’.

Er yah. Do you honestly think that Boris is the Devil Incarnate himself, why don't we get any balance, everything is down to Boris no matter how badly others do. But I'm sure it must help a lot of remainers to relieve their stress by having someone like Boris as their whipping boy, keep lashing Chomper if it helps you. 

Again, your fixation on ‘Remainers’.

 

Try reading the OP (clue, it’s not about ‘Remainers’).

So what is your solution to stop the human rats spreading the virus..?

 

Come on, lets hear it.....????

Human rats are an expression of your misanthropy, they don’t exist, there is no such thing as a ‘human rat’.

Who are the people that constantly cannot resist having a go at Boris, it doesn't matter what thread you chose to view or even engage in, you can be sure Boris will pop up somewhere to be berated by a certain 'section' on here, it can get very tedious at times. 

Don't you agree that instead of blaming one person, a fairer way would be to dicuss other leaders too who have failed to perform to the best of their abilities, but where are those threads, pom mai rhuu.

Going for the sympathy vote chomper, not nice. I have stated that other countries have done worse than England, but to some that will go unmentioned and unnoticed.

Well if he gets covid a second time he could get out with all these nut jobs in the streets and pressure them into a handshake. Spread it around like he did it the hospital, and then proudly boast about it at a brief about covid, totally playing it down.
 

The smart ones would run away, the idiots would shake his hand learn the hard way. 
 

Every country has COVIDiots, but the countries with covidiot leaders, who managed to not only infect themselves, also all have a higher percentage of covidiots and more than 100,000+ deaths. 

Instead of setting a good example for the public, they did the exact opposite and recklessly got themselves infected, sprouted rubbish that was the opposite of medical advice  and infected others around them, who then infected more and on and on. 
 

USA, UK and Brazil. 

 

Feel free to keep defending them all though. You are entitled to your opinion.

My favourite would be your favourite too, Dom Raab. 

But seriously, it would seem that Boris Johnson is reponsible for all the worlds woes, can't we have a pop at the Belgiums after all their covid rate is worse than Englands. Proportionately more people in Scotland have been dying of covid than in England, we never get a thread about that, I wonder why, could it have something to do with the media being a remainer media. The press want you to believe what their agenda is, it is not only disgusting, it is very frightening how these people manipulate other peoples lives, and sadly a good proportion of their readers believe their nonsense. 

I am just waiting for the next brake failure in Phuket to be blamed on Boris. 

 

Not sure where you get the idea that the press are pro-remain. Certainly prior to the Referendum, although the national dailies were split 50-50, when circulation figures were factored in it became 83% to 17% pro leave. At the time, the only pro-remain mass circulation daily was the Mirror, although some of them may have changed their stance since, bearing in mind what a clusterf*ck Brexit has become. Leavers are also banging on about the BBC, but they were actually one of the architects of Brexit. By choosing to cover it as an internal Conservative Party dispute (over 70% of the politicians who appeared on the BBC in the weeks leading up to the Referendum were Tories) they never presented the Labour case for remaining, although this was also down to having Corbyn - a leaver, unlike 97% of his MPs - as their leader; with any other leader the vote would almost certainly have been very different.

It may seem lopsided to you but this is about Johnson's handling of the pandemic and not other people and how they are performing.

 

But fear not, your boy has his teflon suit on and he will manage to get it all swept under the carpet, as usual.

100 000 deaths in a country with approx. same population as Thailand. We can just say that sorry is not enough, Boris! You totally missed the mark, and should feel ashamed forever. There is no way on earth that you can repay for the huge amount of misstakes in dealing with the pandemic. The incompetence of this man is really shinging through. The only right thing he can do, is to resign.

Fortunately, your opinion counts for Jack and I imagine that if voters were asked for theirs, they would reelect this government.

I have some nice reading for you:

Please check up Boris Johnson approval rating at YouGov.

As another nice reading you will have The Guardian. 2and of January they showed that he would lose majority in an election.

Today he look sad over something he was able to prevent from happening. Guess, that will not make his standing better with the people.

I just have to say, that you belong to the minority at present time. ????

Boris didn't hide himself away in fear of catching the virus, he carried on doing his job meeting whoever he had to meet, but there are folk who will take the opportunity to bury him what ever he does. Ring a bell......? ????

Yes meeting, and shaking hands with everybody which was against medical advice. 
 

While he was meeting with his friends he didn’t bother showing up to the covid control meetings instead he was out doing press stunts trying to shore up his popularity while thousands were dying.
