Don't Blame Boris.

Hi

As many of you know, I cannot stand the man.

Coronavirus is not his fault.

He has been left in an impossible position because of long term mistakes made by Blair, Cameron and May.

Is he an idiot, yes, been there, seen him in action, or rather non action.

He is proven liar and a nightmare to work for.

He was my direct Boss for a few days during the London Olympics when G4S messed up.

He did not impress then.

He has upped his game significantly.

He is taking professional advice and taking unpopular decisions.

Good on him.

I never refused to work for him, I and many of my Colleagues would have refused point blank to work for Corbyn.

I am a Natural Labour Supporter.

Only ever voted Tory once and that was to get rid of Blair.

I am absolutely disgusted by Corbyn and Co criticising Boris and calling for full disclosure.

The Scientists would have been the same, the advice would have been the same.

It is a disgusting Political Move.

I do not do Politics, I do facts.

My advice would have been the same to whoever was in power.

My professional view, even though I cannot stand the man, is that he has risen to the occasion and we are in far better hands that we would be with Corbyn.

He has however surprised me, he has upped his game, listened to the experts and is giving them his full support.

That is some admission from me, but fair does, he has risen to the occasion.

Re: Don't Blame Boris.

I don't blame Boris at all (for anything). I would rather he be in power than Theresa May who was useless, but I'm confused; The other day you were saying we voted for all this.

Hi

We voted for Austerity and huge cuts in Public Services, so yes, we have to accept our part in that.

We are a Democracy, I had my vote and lost.

I fully accept that.

I never voted for Corbyn though.

I am a Socialist, not a Marxist and there is no way I would have voted for Corbyn.

Quite happy to pay more tax to get the Services we need.

Corbyn and Abbott and Co can Swan off.

Not me at all.

A reduction of 5% in my take home money is fine by me, gives us better services and better Pensions.

I do not need a brand new car or a hugely expensive holiday every year.

I would rather my money goes to getting to be able to see a GP in less than a week and not have to worry about medical delay.

God help us if Labour came to running the country, we would be bankrupt within the year. Just like they did last time even raided our gold reserves. Then having stripped our country bare did a runner

Re: Don't Blame Boris.

I think Mr Johnson is doing a good job in spite of an outbreak of 'headless chicken' syndrome taking over parts of the minor media and country.
Johnson isn't alone in his decision making lets all remember we have some of the best scientific brains in the world advising him and there are justifiable reasons behind all the decision .

I belong to a large health support group and it is rife with silly speculation and rumours masquerading as 'facts', it really isn't helpful and causes unnecessary anxiety and it doesn't help our situation.
The advice to listen to is that coming directly from the government and their spokesmen or the official sites.
