PM so desperate after brexit he risks UK health

Boris Johnson is so desperate to secure new trade deals, according to the express, he travels to india.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...i-china-huawei

Thereby risking the health of british people!
A leading scientist has branded*Boris Johnson’s looming trade trip to*India*“crazy”, warning he risks bringing back an alarming new variant of*coronavirus.

The B.1.617 strain lies behind*a dramatic surge in infections which is wreaking havoc across the country*– including in*Delhi, the prime minister’s destination.

Professor Christina Pagel, from*University College London, attacked his “bizarre bravado”, telling*The Independent: “He shouldn’t be going – it’s just crazy.
“How insane would it be if we end up pushing our vaccination programme back by weeks or months because Boris Johnson went on a foreign trip?”

He (Boris) had covid didn't he? Allegedly. You would think he would know better...especially with him having a new baby an' all. And India, of all places, jeez...their numbers are skyrocketing!

It's also (as you point out in your OP) from the Express.
That publication that you normally despize and discount as being irrelevant, or have you suddenly had a lapse in your memory?


FYI you might like to know that the planned trip has been severely shortened due to the risk.
But don't let that stop your anti-British bias, will you?

But it nicely prevented the cry: oh, it's from the independent. I'm a right reader and don't understand left speak.

Prof Pagel added: “It’s risk-taking, it’s unnecessary – like last year, when he shook hands with coronavirus patients in hospital.

“Is it so hard to have a Zoom meeting? If he really wants to talk to Modi about trade, he does not have to go there in person.”

You can't judge body language and other thigs accurately via Zoom calls Solly.
That's why people still meet each other every single day.
Like Lord Frost meeting Sefcovic today, and I don't see anybody complaining about risks there when EU-land has a far higher rate of infection than we in the UK do.

We will see next week.
I expect you and your fellow EUrophile chums to be spitting feathers if Boris comes back with some sort of outline agreement.
