bpoolrover, you're wasting your time mate. Best to put them who want to politicise such a critical situation as this in isolation.
What do you mean it appears he wasn't taking expert action and judging policy on that? 'it appears' isn't fact is it? That's just your opinion.
BST. Just supposing I believed in your faith in the way things were going in the right direction the other week. After all, why shouldn't I have? Because it was you saying it, I believed it to be fact. It wasn't a fact, was it? It was your opinion of the situation at that moment in time, just like it was the experts, and Boris's.
The article BST refers to in The Times might be behind a paywall, so here is a relevant snippet;https://twitter.com/benphillips76/status/1241645514237644801/photo/1It does not inspire confidence in the decision making process for me.
I can't understand Johnson the way he has gone about anything with advisers and medical experts. All he has to do is read the experts like Filo, Glynn, Syd, and Billy, on here and he could solve every problem about Brexit and corona virus for free, and get rid of all those so called experts around him and appoint real experts in everything.
This is what worries me about Johnson."Dignity still matters in public office, and Johnson will never have it. Yet his graver vice is cowardice, reflected in a willingness to tell any audience, whatever he thinks most likely to please, heedless of the inevitability of its contradiction an hour later."Like many showy personalities, he is of weak character. I recently suggested to a radio audience that he supposes himself to be Winston Churchill, while in reality being closer to Alan Partridge. Churchill, for all his wit, was a profoundly serious human being. Far from perceiving anything glorious about standing alone in 1940, he knew that all difficult issues must be addressed with allies and partners."That's what his ex-boss and arch-Tory Max Hastings said about him.Think about how he's behaved in press briefings. Refusing to legislate for legally-enfirced lockdown (because it will not be popular). Repeatedly undermining the expert medical advice on distancing by bragging about shaking hands on a C-19 ward, or having the family round for Mother's Day (because it's showy "look at how unconcerned I am" stuff).He's currently behaving exactly as he's behaved throughout his career. And his ex-boss told us he would, because that is who he is.https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/24/boris-johnson-prime-minister-tory-party-britain(And yes, before anyone starts, it IS in the Guardian. Bu it is written by the man who was the Editor of The Telegraph.)
