They and other workers on disgracefully poor salaries (like bus drivers, shop assistants, refuse collectors) should ALL be given some form of recognition for putting themselves repeatedly in harm's way on our behalf, preferably a pay increase rather than a medal; but I'll bet the government...
True - they just can't help themselves. They are guilty of trying to make political capital from Johnson's dreadful illness and (pleasing) recovery; it works both ways!
Politics undoubtedly generates immediate inappropriate comment (like Nigel Farage's knee-jerk comment that prior to Jo Cox’s murder, the Brexit campaign had “momentum” that may have been lost as a result of the killing; of course there are others from all political directions...) but I do think...
I do not believe anyone on here is unconcerned about a fellow human-being dying a horrible death; conflating his aberrant political views with his mortality is just plain wrong. It is always right to keep the two separate. Wishing Boris Johnson a speedy and full recovery and a short stint as PM.....
To Spence and Boris Johnston
I wish you a full recovery very soon.
Our political differences are huge but empathy and compassion are fundamental to humanity and therefore greater still.
All the best
