A Bit of a Boris Giggle

That is one of the most ghastly posts I’ve seen in a long while🤢🤢🤢

I agree! Some people have no idea how some of our families suffered during Covid...

Some people
Exactly which people, keepingquiet?

The ones thinking Johnson was a hoot...?

You mean from the very beginning, as the thread is headed
A Bit of a Boris Giggle

If a thread is offensive or looks as if it might be from the title, perhaps it is better avoided.

Can anybody say with truth, what KS would have done faced with Covid?
I’m not defending BJ here, but reading detailed claims of what KS would have done when that can never be verified is stretching the truth a bit.

I didn't comment at the beginning.

I read some reactions to the comments and thought I would offer some support to those who feel the same.

The thread title didn't really reflect the topic of the thread, which seemed to be about a book he's written.

I am as entitled to respond to threads as much as people are to post them.

Did OP really think everyone was going to agree?

Perhaps it might help to read the OP properly first.

The book is about the Duke and Duchess of York and the author is Andrew Lownie.

Boris Johnson was mentioned in the book which is why he is the subject of the thread.

Yes, hindsight is a wonderful thing and we will never know if Starmer might have done better so it's pointless surmising.

I think if you follow politics for a long time you can get a pretty fair idea of how a politician will react to a certain event. Don’t forget that Keir said throughout the pandemic that he would always support the government if he felt that was what was best for the country.Imo Theresa May would have handled it far better than Johnson

My foresight says Next time there’s a PM change, there will undoubtedly be things that the new PM will do better than Starmer has done.

How did a post about a quote made by Boris Johnson in a recently published book about the Yorks turn into a post about covid and who could or couldn't handle it? Or who was or is a good PM?

Good Lord, get a life some of you - you've made yourselves look quite foolish.

I do believe Boris was very ill, to say NHS at a time of unimaginable stress would have him in in in ITU at such a time, flirting and joking with overworked staff, means the staff and doctors didn't know what they were doing admitting him and taking up a valuable ITU bed.
