The problem was he wasn’t quick enough closing things down in the first place. In that particular respect, far from being a dictator, he was too libertarian.

I get what you’re saying. No room for shades of grey. If you’re not with us you’re against us. Some people don’t seem to think that others have the ability to think for themselves. Many years ago in an exchange with a particularly narrow Tory local councillor I was branded and dismissed as a...

I know plenty of non-lefties who can't stand him.

One doesn’t have to be a leftie to dislike and distrust Boris.

Does it show that I think that Boris and his cabinet of bumbling yes-men (and women) have not dealt with the current situation very well. The subsequent post(s) were merely to answer the point about people's political leanings influencing their judgement of a Prime Minister. The apportioning...

Points taken, but:dishing out blame was not the aim of my post. It was about how political leanings dictate (or don't dictate) how PMs do. So I was trying to illustrate how I thought other recent conservative P.M.s would have dealt with the current crisis.

I think that could be described as conspicuous consumption! Very sensitive at a time when loads of people are suffering.

Corbyn might have done it better. I'm not saying he would have done it better. In terms of political leanings, in dealing with current events - i.e since decisions were having to be made about lockdown, I would comment that I think Theresa May would have done it better, Cameron might have done...

I get where you are coming from up to a point, but I also think that: 1. The way the Government has dealt with it all so far has not been necessarily the best - Lockdown too late, Boris still shaking hands with people when he shouldn't have been, not having enough PPE stocks BEFORE anyone had...

But they would probably be more "careful". My own perception of his attitude towards women would be that it seems irresponsible, which is not what I would want or expect from a Prime Minister, or a senior politician of any sort.

I think Ulrikakakakakakaka is more honest.

Does in not just show that the whole country is not as much in love with the Boris roadshow as some misguided people think we ought to be. I don't wish him, the boy or the mother any harm, but neither will I be trumpeting it from the rooftops. Plenty of other people will become parents today as...

It rhymes with Rowlocks and begins with a B.
