I want to be, and I know I should be, sympathetic towards Johnson et al for all the reasons I said.
But Johnson's actions whether through Saving Christmas, saving Dom-Dom, jobs for the boys, abandoning care homes track and trace fiasco and so on are what's driving my frustration now.
He (they)...
Hmmmm, I certainly believe that should be true.
Nobody signed up for this, and I'd be worried for the stability of anyone that would.
That aside.
When the Prime minister declared he was "saving Christmas".
I (along with however many thousands others) declared "why?".
It was a ridiculous...
So as the mask wearing expert, stood 2 metres to the right of Boris, said months and months ago the second strain could be far far worse why did Boris proclaimed he was "Saving Christmas" and allowing all manner of social interaction?
We're living in a Trumpian future.
This is his legacy and feck me it's going to far more damage than anything he did in power.
Have no understanding of a topic.
Don't like the news.
Decide it's fake.
Find an echo chamber you do like.
Then present someone with a qualification.
Tell everyone...
Hate him for being cautious with the lives of his electorate.
Or
Hate him for being reckless with the lives of his electorate.
Being popular & PM aren't mutually exclusive.
Boris wants the former much more than the latter, and we've seen just how badly he wants the latter.
A very dangerous man
Then perhaps he should stop saying what he thinks the public want to hear:-
"I'm saving Christmas"
& instead tell us what we need to hear:-
'keep your distance, wear a mask, sorry it's essential services and nothing else'.
I completely understand how in the unprecedented times, leading must be so difficult.
But you'd have thought by now the law of averages would degree Boris making one populist statement AND be able to see it through.
