One things for sure, Boris and everybody else in government cannot deny the nurses and auxiliaries deserve a very big rise

I'm not beating him up more, I'm defending myself from being accused of pedantry. Moi!
This.
No quotation marks, no mention of taking the post from Facebook, despite realistically understanding (considering the seriousity of the subject) that people would assume that he was writing about his own experience.
He tried to make a political point by using a sad and horrible made up story and probably would've stuck with it unless Green River Killer had mentioned it was on Facebook. Bottom low stuff.
Actually I think they will agree that the nurses etc do deserve a big pay rise. Unfortunately, they'll also explain that due to the unprecedented money the government has pumped into the economy, and the recession we find ourselves in, we can't afford it.

That’s the problem. It’s not gonna dawn on people for a long time what’s happened here. We will be lucky to afford any public services in the forms we currently know after this.

The public as a whole need to support it
The next ten years will make the Austerity of the past ten look like the promised land. I think we can forget about most of the spending and giveaways from the budget.

Thats gonna mean people paying more tax in a massively depressed economy and millions unemployed. Not just bogeyman corporates or ‘the rich’ but most people. Not saying it can’t be done but like post world war 2 it needs consensus. Our economy is in bits.

Undoubtedly, no change there. But maybe, out of respect for the risks they have been taking, they won't cheer when they turn down the pay rise for NHS workers next time.
I wouldn't bet on it though

It's no spin. We'll be paying the cost of this for years. The only consolation (of indeed it is a consolation) is that so will every other country.

According to a Ex Tory MP that is a doctor . Boris had serious pneumonia years back which might be causing a issue now

erm...i think it is
as a virus has no brain, it doesn't know the difference between a prince and a pauper,
so going to eton and oxford, and then joking with brevado about shaking hands with a lot of NHS workers, at this time is pretty much as antisocial as it gets,
do you understand how the virus moves from one human being to another? and all this as the nations leader

I was being playfully facetious by alluding to your self acknowledged reputation as a pedant in an effort to lighten the mood of a thread which had needlessly descended into acrimony.

As someone who hasn’t been looked after at all by their government in the most difficult time, I couldn’t help but laugh at that comment.
I don’t wish the disease on anyone, but there’s absolutely nothing to be proud about where Boris is concerned.
