I’m delighted Boris is back!

Disagreeing with you is not sneering.

Yes, we need him back at the reins and strong leadership at present. So welcome back indeed Boris!

You say sneering, I say a healthy range of opinions.

Tomato/tomato.

Death toll in this country will be nearer 40,000 than the figures the government is giving out now. I'll stick to my anti-Tory rants rather than pretend that anything this government has done in the past or is doing now have helped any of us get through this in the best way possible.
"an unexpected and invisible mugger" it certainly wasn't. Unless of course you were Boris pretending it wasn't going to happen and you could walk around with your eyes shut.

Oh well.
The sneering comments had to come didn’t they?

And a very different strategy helped NZ of course...

Population of New Zealand- 4.9 million
Population of Uk - 66.65 million

How many people live in NZ compared to us? Is it as vastly populated as the UK?

Must be easier governing a much smaller population.

Quite.

It's pointless comparing us with NZ for numerous reasons, which I think most people will be aware of

And Greece. And Germany.

Luckygirl New Zealand has a population of less than 5m UK has a population of around 68m in the same amount of space

Glad he’s recovered for sure but does that turn him into a super hero?
Also I really think it’s a little unfair to describe trisher’s post as anti Tory rant!
Once again I ask if nobody is allowed to express anything but admiration for Conservative party, Boris, etc on gransnet ?
Did he mention giving nurses a decent salary ?

No you’re not alone Luckygirl, but then I’m not easily impressed by the finger jabbing and fist clenching. I tend to judge all politicians by substance rather than style.

I did like his promise to improve transparency so I’m looking forward to hearing more about why they got so many things wrong and what Dom’s role is exactly in all of this.

Yes, totally agree though not with Galaxy. Welcome back Boris, we need someone like him at the helm.

rosenoir and others- how can you believe that lying scum bag?

Indeed if we are using comparisons to the war, then we have lost, beaten by Germany.

The situation feels a little better now he is back.

Am I alone in being underwhelmed!?- not taken in by the attempt to imitate Churchillian language? This is the man who got it all wrong at the start and left us in this mess - look at NZ (also an island) - they got it right and are nearly free of this curse.

I will think better of him the day he kicks Cummings out.

Good to see Boris back and excelling himself. Been reading today that one of the lesser Professors on the No 10 advisory panel is thought to have been a super spreader.

Not surprised to see Trisher on the warpath once more but good to see so much support from people who had presumably been intimidated or just bored stiff with the predictable anti-Tory rants.

Well done Grandad 1943 - if more of your ilk arise there will be a credible opposition which most rational people know is essential. Genuine compliment not intending to be patronizing!

Yes hurrah. Imagine if we had someone like the New Zealand PM, where there have been 18 deaths. Have people actually seen the figures.

Yes, we needed the public face of Dominic back. Hurrah!

?? Good to see him back where he should be ??

Great to have you back Boris. We need someone with some charisma to lead properly again

I regard him as the village idiot but at least with the seriousness of the situation at last penetrating he has removed that smirk.

Such a relief to see Boris back.
