[Politics] People who have impressed/surprised you so far through this crisis (and who's been crap)

[Leekbrookgull]

Have to say after watching Morgan lay into Coffey and the laughing care minister today,both well out of their depth and from a purely public point of view frightening to watch their appalling performance. On the plus Capt Tom and frontline Nhs,care and those with so little protection of which there are to many.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Totally forgiven now though, after his excellent handling of the Covid-19 crisis.

Absolutely ****ing not!

He endangered lives just for a headline!

My kids (son,8 and daughter,10) have been brilliant. Their whole world has been turned upside down. No school, no friends, no football, no gymnastics, no trips to Pizza Express or the trampoline park or the toy shop. No Junior Parkrun. Just the house. Or the garden. That's it. And just as the weather is turning great.

BUT - they don't complain. They just get on with it.

I know this is a bit self-indulgent, but they have been fantastic about all of this.

The staff in my local Asda, many of them very young and having to diplomatically deal with fully grown adults having tantrums over ready meals and being asked to socially distance. Very impressed indeed.

Unimpressed with so many people but cannot be bothered to list them.

The Chancellor is a very impressive individual,,to the point,doesn’t try and sugar coat and on the whole does not tolerate stupid questions from idiots like Peston and Kuensberg, those two inadequates have shown themselves to be the two bob hacks that they are.

Could that be because quite often they have pointed out the ludicrous, ridiculous and insane effects of Brexit ?

Rishi and Hancock plus the Scientists that Boris has brought in.....good to see a Governement relying in the very most on science......


Negatives


Starmer- Pathetic and shows us what it would have been like if Labour had won last year.
Andy Burnham- Quite happy to criticse anything that happens in London whilst patently failing to stop partygoers and Mancunian idiots from their atrocious behaviours.
Sadiq Khan-Jeez this guy is the real pants deal......here's hoping he gets ejected at the next mayoral elections.
Nicola 'Adolph' Sturgeon- Can;' even begin to work with the rest of the UK. In charge of a really corrupt and dishonourable Scottish Government which we can hopefuly kick out next year.
BBC and to a lesser extent ITV- Such negative and biased reporting....no real attept to report but a strong desire to sensationalise.Like the Sun newspaper but on TV.

The clapping on a Thursday in my close...ace.....number ten though hang your head in shame ...not out once

Bit harsh, I DEFINITELY saw Boris out clapping on the telly a couple of times before he got a cough.

 

[vegster]

Never forgiven this piece of filth.

Didn't reporters on his paper hack the voicemail of the late Milly Dowler's phone?

Is he forgiven for his role on the Viglen share scandal now too?

Lol..i was going to change the number to avoid that

 

[Weststander]

Another vote for Rishi Sunak as most impressive.

Least impressive I would put as a "thing" rather than person. Step forward The Guardian. Scaremongering, point scoring and resorting to clickbait headlines. My previous go-to paper and website has become unreadable.

There - a Tory in most impressive and a mainstay of the liberal elite as most shit. Blimey.

Totally agree about The Guardian. I always turn to the Independent and Guardian websites. But from from day one The Guardian has been a posher version of the crap Express with hyperbole, seldom mentioning positive angles that have covered and almost revelling in any bad UK stats.

Not a natural Labour voter then?

 

[dazzer6666]

Good - Sunak, Prof Whitty, Dr Jenny, Boris, Captain Tom, Bloom/Barber/Potter - absolute leaders amongst their peers on almost everything, Prof Karol Sikora,

Crap - firstly almost all of the press. Constant sniping and negativity, continued pushing on subjects when it's clear there's nothing more to say (....but I WANT to KNOW exactly what the exit from lockdown looks like NOW.......' etc), Starmer (had a real opportunity coming in to be a little above simple part politics but couldn't stop himself)

 

[pauli cee]

Jenny Harries, she makes me feel horny in a strange kind of way, too long at home by myself I guess.
I have missed her the last couple of days tho.....

(Also LlcoolJ and Weststander for their patient and sound financial advice)

 

[lawros left foot]

Gary Neville.

One of the first to provide accommodation for free for NHS staff in his 2 hotels.
Top bloke.

Hancock has done better than expected but still feels he's a bit out of his depth. Don't get the praise today and was evasive but he puts himself up to scrutiny unlike the rest of the party. He will spectacularly miss every target he's set himself too.

Heros - besides the NHS and teachers I'm impressed with supermarket staff. They had s hit time with all of the panic buying but seem to work everyday and they're definetly at risk.

Villain - Johnson. His bluster and shaking hands with coronavirus patients was ridiculous. Actually whoever pushed for the lockdown not to start earlier.

I'm in the minority but disagree with all this Starmer bashing. He's not asking for dates just a plan as things stand. Don't forgot we weren't that prepared for this (not working with the EU, ventilators, PPE, closing down travel, closing pubs etc) as well as we could have been and at one point our plan was herd immunity before quite radically shifting course thankfully. Planning for this in 3 weeks/3 months is no bad thing. Also understand the gov's position about sharing too much as it's too early.

 

[drew]

I'm with you on Hancock, certainly gone up in my eyes.

Deeply unimpressed with Raab, seems completely out of his depth and uncomfortable in the glare of the media. I guess Boris didn't want anyone with the potential to upstage him as his stand-in.

But Hancock has spun lie after lie after lie. He might deliver them well behind the podium but their still lies, from the number of tests he keeps promising to the supply of PPE.

 

[Bry Nylon]

This BBC regional weather forecaster, working from home, has impressed me greatly!

Our milkman,plus we still have the usual bin collection no cutbacks in that at the moment.
