It leaves me wondering does he have any advisors in his inner circle. Or does he maybe just choose to ignore them.

He’d just come from cop26 in Glasgow where he’d been circulating in a crowded venue backslapping and elbow bumping his way around. Rather poor judgement to follow that up with a photo op in a hospital.

I live near Hexham, unless he went to Scotland he couldnt have got much further away from the HOC.

He is embarrassing.

Although it seems the board of the hospital say he did then put a mask on when asked to.They are being criticised now for seemingly excusing him. Who knows ? I just don’t get however why he has to be asked

No doubt someone will be along soon to defend his behaviour. Is he trying to imply Covid is no longer a problem ?

Also the suspicion that this photo op visit was just an excuse not to be in the HoC for the sleaze debate. He could easily have got a private jet back in time, or is that just for important dinners with chums?

I despair when I hear of Johnson’s boorish behaviour at every turn. His behaviour is that of a naughty toddler stamping his foot in defiance. What an example from a PM supposedly leading the country through a health crises!

According to a story in the Mirror he was asked three times to put his mask on.

Typical Boris. Rules don't apply to him.

The rules are that you wear a mask in a hospital or at the GP Surgery. That means everyone, whoever they are.

So he was told in advance that he would be required to wear a mask during his visit. He did wear one then took it off, and was reminded to wear one again, did for a short time and took it off again.

Already other hospitals and Doctors reporting people refusing to wear mask and when asked to do so reply with ' ah well if the PM does not wear one, I don't have to either'.

Exemple? Leadership? Selfishness? Worse!
