Is Johnson getting bored?

I had a 14 year old student once who managed to get that 'done' with 2 different girls in one year. Pretty much like Boris really.

Well, he's obviously a man who can "get things done"

Yes Opal. It will have taken him all of 2 minutes.

Seems like Boris HAS been busy after all

Oh great. Nice.

In answer to the original question:
clearly not!

Did the left-behinds not vote leave, then vote Tory to get rid of the "elites"?

It is a different world and how easily people were manipulated by the right wing press. Oh and please, nobody, jump in with 'what about Corbyn' An absolute disaster. The playfields of Harrow and Eton. Makes me sick.

When I was at Johnson’s old university an old Etonian friend told me he’d never met anyone like me before. He meant poor. Except I went to private school, grammar school, grew up in a detached house, had horse riding and ballet lessons etc. I certainly l was not poor!

Do yeah I suspect Johnson does see most of us as riff raid.

Another child on the way. Wonder what he thinks of single mums on benefits with kids by different fathers...

This government is the most out of control I remember. It does raise all sorts of questions about our democracy for me.

Each one that departs, you hope against hope, the next will be better. Who are BJs so called good advisors please?

Come back Theresa, all is forgiven

Lemon- how can you still say this-is just beyond me.

Now Johnson has signed a contract giving Cummings charge of Government projects- how can this mean take back control from un-elected politicians?!?!?

That’s exactly what it’s like Maizie

Fortunately for Johnson, he has a good Cabinet

Oh, Lemon can you hand on heart without Googling tell us who is in the Cabinet, and what they are good at?

I like to think I keep abreast of political goings on but I honestly can't think of more than a couple Cabinet members and never mind if they are good or not!

Someone sent me this:

That doesn’t surprise me varian. When you have an ineffectual PM, some poorly performing and bullying members of the cabinet and an unelected beanie wearing advisor leading the country the poo will hit the fan sooner or later - especially if Brexit starts to unravel the way it appears to be going.

According to The Telegraph, Boris Johnson has signed a contract giving Dominic Cummings 'jurisdiction' over government projects

Fortunately for Johnson, he has a good Cabinet and plenty of advisors plus a big majority in Parliament.All those things should see him through his term of office, whatever his personal failings.

I agree Callistemon - he appears to be all over the place and certainly not measured in his approach. He strikes me as the class clown - popular boy but lacks focus and ability. Must do better. C minus.

Is that what it was about SirChenjin!

I thought before he became PM, which I did predict would never happen, that he may he very clever but his brain is never focussed. His thoughts seem to be random and spontaneous rather than careful and considered of the consequences.

BJ seems also to be incapable of controlling ministers like Priti Patel or spads like Cummings. This government is seriously out of control.

It is a classic example of the danger of having a sham democracy with a FPTP electoral system.

Mature democracies all use proportional systems of elections which result in the need for co-operation between parties and checks and balences which we just don't have.

I know that threads often meander but this one seems seems to be getting sidetracked a little and moving away from the focus which really should be on Johnson and his lacklustre performance, his inability to react quickly and appropriately to serious matters affecting the UK and his apparent reluctance to take charge of his Govt.

Refugees will be very vulnerable if the virus should reach them. At the moment many are living in acres of mud with poor shelter anyway, no sanitation.
However, not many people on GN seem to care as threads about this have petered out or ended in acrimony or accusations of virtue signalling.

People on the cruise ship proved to be vulnerable; however, someone who can afford eg £15,000+ for a cruise is hardly in the same bracket of poverty.

It does bring a new and ridiculous definition to the word poor.

I'm not following trisher's logic unfortunately.
If that logic means that anyone who is not in the extremely wealthy bracket in this country is considered poor by the PM then that, to me, is illogical.

Can't follow your logic I'm afraid, janipat. I'll duck out of this one.
