Stolen from Twitter, I expect this one will be doing the rounds.

Prime Minister Johnson visited a village in Cornwall and asked the inhabitants what the government could do for them.

"We have two big needs" said the village spokesperson. "First we have a health centre but no doctor"

Johnson whipped out his mobile phone spoke for a while and then said "I have sorted it out. A doctor will arrive here tomorrow. What is your other need?"

"We have no mobile phone reception anywhere in our village"

Was there no landline available?

I find that highly unlikely.

Additionally, this matter would have been raised, and dealt with, much earlier than in this instance.

What’s the difference between Margaret Thatcher and Boris Johnson?

One starved miners and one starved minors

Completely unbelievable.

That’s three relatively straightforward sentences there.

No way would BJ be able to do that, without several minutes of “piffle paffle wiffle spaffle piccinannie gadzooks waffle wiffle paffle”, and at least three irrelevant Latin proverbs.

Boris Johnson gets a hard time but then he goes and does something like this that makes a real difference to people’s lives. Makes a welcome change to read a Good News story

It was probably a satellite phone and thus didn't need a standard mobile phone signal.

Well? Go on then. Did he sort the mobile reception out too? Can't just leave us hanging like this.

Does Johnson actually know how to operate a telephone?

I'm doubtful.

The OP doesn’t say which constituency this town is in but it sounds like the community have been poorly served by their MP.

That makes no sense. Boris has access to a pilot for mobile reception.
