Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted May 24, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2020 A man who took his wife away for a birthday weekend in the middle of a lockdown he helped instigate being defended on the grounds of parental instinct by a man who won't tell us how many children he has. You couldn't make this stuff up. The whole press conference was an insult - he stood there and lied, we know he's lying, he knows he's lying, we know he knows and he knows we know - he just doesn't care, he thinks we're idiots. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A health crisis, and the most important set of negotiations the country has had in decades, and who have we got at the helm? A part-time PM who can't keep his dick in his pants.

The PM at any time, cannot lead without authority. He's toast - and he did not need to be. He's an idiot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Starmer and Labour being a bit quiet on this though I thought. They could at least come out and quote lock down rules as they interpreted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadridVilla Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Honestly where are the journalists who can ask the right questions? All they have to do is quote the own government's advice to show he broke the rules. And if Johnson claims it was to protect his child, why is nobody asking why he received no childcare from his family? And why was it never mentioned you can use your instincts to look after your children? The notion that everyone else who has looked after their kids while they are ill and didn't seek help from other family are bad parents is gaslighting on an unimaginable scale. There are thousands upon thousands of families, including family of mine, who had both contracted the virus and continued to look after their children as they believed these were the rules. It leaves me lost for words that this is bad parenting, and breaking the lockdown rules, putting elderly family members at risk is good parenting. I have never been a fan of Johnson but I have always believed he is acting in what he believes is the best way for the country, even if I disagree with his vision. However it is now palpably clear that this is absolutely untrue - he will look after his chums to the hilt, regardless of the legality of their actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being muted while the PM hastily moves along to the next question, mostly Anyone that dared push him was spoken over and ignored. The Trump comparisons become more appropriate each week.

Someone asked that but the wider point is correct. PM should have been asked if Cummings or his wife had done a covid test.

There's about 5 good solid questions currently unanswered that will fill all political space until they are answered and there is nothing they can do to change that.

OutByEaster? Posted May 24, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 24, 2020 I'm still not clear on who was actually ill. I think the government are saying it's the wife, and maybe the child but not Cummings - although the wife has said that it was Cummings, who was bed bound for ten days and nursed by the child and then I think Boris suggested it was Cummings or it might not have been Cummings and certainly wasn't if any footage of him at a service station emerges. Do we have clarity of which of the Cummings family was ill and at what times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Think Peston’s reaction when it went back to him summed it up, didn’t answer one question and completely ignored the castle question, Let’s hope they don’t let this go esp as everyone has adhered to this lockdown so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
