It’s certainly ‘business as usual’ on GN!

No change can ensue re Tory policy- too many people with £sd invested in NHS- Boris Johnson is an affection less psychopath (Bowlby) - as are most of his followers - who has had a close encounter with his own mortality - his ‘performance’ re expressing gratitude for his care whilst in hospital was just another example of how versatile his acting/rhetorical skills are - once this is over it will be ‘business’ as usual - the sheeple are easily coerced.

In 2008 the Labour government helped the banks but not ordinary people. I can remember well there were so many reposession of people's houses. Labour did nothing to stop it happening. This Conservative government has tried to help the many, ordinary people, employees and some self employed not the just the few, banks. I wish people would open their eyes and look at the facts. I really think Boris and Conservative government have done all that they can to try to protect the people. They have been working day and night in very challenging circumstances. Give credit where credit is due.

I wonder that too. This is the first time I’ve ever seen Boris talk without bumbling or smirking. Progress?

Takes cover,

Namely our NHS, I’d be interested to hear whether you think that having had his life saved by our wonderful NHS that Boris and his colleagues will now change their thinking on not only the NHS but how our benefit system works and indeed how the country is run.
I don’t pretend to be very politically savvy I just know I prefer Labours policies and always have. I have my doubts whether this government will change much in the long run I hope I’m wrong.
