ml1dch Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 He really is a bad Trump tribute act. A bit less racism, slightly less dangerous misinformation, not quite as chaotic and shambolic. But still all there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tide is definitely turning, the initial benefit of the doubt and sympathy for getting ill are ebbing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm sorry, the bloke's a bumbling idiot, and I still can't believe he's the actual prime minister, but Trump is in his own special category of lunatics in chief. It's a silly comparison. Johnson is a workshy coward who hides from criticism, and thinks he can bluster his way through any problem. Trump suggested that people inject bleach, accuses his own intelligence and law enforcement services of lying, has an alarming number of rape accusations, and is basically at war with journalists. I feel like the regularity of genuine **** mental stuff that Trump does makes people numb to it. I don't think there's another politician in the modern era that can be compared to the dangerous megalomaniac who ostensibly runs the US.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this country as being ready to have a PM that's not white. If America can have a black president then I reckon this country is ready for a brown prime minister. If he had a Muslim name then that would have been pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I've come to terms with the fact I'll never get a state pension, but my private one being tied to it and getting further away every time they change the state pension age is a bit of a ****.

markavfc40 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I haven't watched the daily press conference for ages as it is a waste of time and no difficult questions asked but I have seen it reported that the global deaths comparison graph is no longer used. No surprise given we are pulling away from every other country in Europe. I know they waffle on about other countries not counting all deaths but given the ONS figures today we are understating ours by a long way.
