Whinge, whinge, whinge. Perhaps you will soon be blaming him for the heatwave. Who knows, people are stupid enough to do so, or are you not derogatory enough?

Enough said. Just carry on bleating.

Regards to all!

What a silly post.

Totally fed up with listening to the scaremongering of the hot weather. It’s summer, it’s hot. Do we really need to be told to drink water and stay in the shade. What is the matter with people. Use your common sense. Cobra has many people totally capable people without calling in Boris.

Fgs it’s not a cobra meeting about drinking water and staying in the shade as has been explained in this thread…..

Britain is turning into a nanny state we will have 2 days of hot weather mostly in the south than it's going to rain on Wednesday for 7 days . Next week it's the annual summer holidays went thousands of people jet off to hot climates .Why are the media creating this hysteria it's crazy .I don't blame boris for not attending the cobra meeting

How many times….. it’s not just about the two days and people stay indoors….

Fingers in ears, head up own bottom syndrome.

Fingers in ears, head up own bottom syndrome.

Absolutely

So people who take risks or who are just plain stupid end up in A and E or in the mortuary because it’s their own fault, well maybe, but someone will have to clean up and look after them or shall we just leave the bodies in the sea or lake and refuse to treat anyone with heatstroke or severe burns?

Boris Johnson opened the Farnborough International air show today

Reality check?

We cannot deal with excessive heat (above body temperature) because our personal body cooling systems don't work.

This can kill.

Who did chair the Cobra meeting? Was even Dominic Raab, as deputy, there? I haven't been able to find that out.

I do know that he has said in public that "People should be resilient enough to enjoy the sunshine."
Before anyone says 'yes, of course!' I an 81 and at risk, and I am taking this declared emergency seriously.

Kit Malthouse chaired the meeting. It's his job.

I've given up.

If people really think that a COBRA meeting is about telling people to drink water in a heatwave, then the level of understanding is so low, that it's a pointless exercise even trying to discuss it...

"The Lebedev scandal isn’t even Profumo – it’s more serious. Profumo slept with an escort, he didn’t hotfoot it out of the country with a possible stash of Nato docs to the mountain lair of an ex-KGB officer whose son he later ennobled"

Only because Johnson couldn’t be arsed and so instructed Malthouse to take his place.

The PM has always chaired COBRA meetings.

Puts me in mind of the "let the bodies pile up!" Incident he just doesn't give a f.....fig

I think some do , you know how bleeding stupid some are?!?! We're old so what do we know Anyway? .... I literally was speechless when I saw the eejits limbering up for a half marathon on telly box!!?? "We've got some water and have been pacing ourselves" oh well! That's ok then....put me in mind of the darling Victoria Wood sketch with the channel swimmer......

Why on earth was he allowed to stay in office? He should have left the day he resigned.

I'm utterly sick of hearing Johnson being blamed for absolutely everything. People need to take responsibility themselves. We all have brains and we can use them. If something is not quite right it's somehow automatically BJs fault. I'm sick of hearing this. I take people as I find them and he has done his best during a terrible two/three years.
Everything can be improved 'with hindsight'.
Keir Starmer has no ideas and just criticises. That's easy to do.

Meanwhile he's out and about spending his final days playing! Up in a warplane today, videoing himself. Tomorrow a skydive maybe? He's like a child, no sense of responsibility, just having fun now at our expense! No wonder he wasn't willing to quit the minute he resigned, he'd have missed this opportunity to spend our hard earned tax money on more jollies!

Wow listened to borris speech captivating that's why he stated in office he's able to lead Mind you then people complain he's not at a meetin g Starmersaid Britain facing unprecedented heat wave as though that was the fault of borris Starmers speech was just a continuation of his constant attacks on Borris did he come up with anything to help the economy Don't forget if you watch other news stations likes aljazera there are lots of countries suffering more after the pandemic than here The government has also been distributing money to some of us working class people Not that Starker or the BBC would be likely to mention it

Who is blaming Johnson for ‘absolutely everything’? The criticisms I’ve seen are valid. He’s a lazy, dishonest charlatan. In a previous lifetime, he could have been one of those snake oil salesman. Roll up roll up, this tincture will solve any health problem. Just like his lies on the Brexit bus, his oven ready deals for social care.
Its a waste of time I’m sure but. Starmer does have ideas.

Have you heard Johnson at PMQs he uses playground name calling to Starmer, and repeating the same mantras all the time, bigging himself up and never answering a single question apart from just blaming others.

Can you tell us any Starker ideas I've only ever heard him attacking a party pm when he and his mates had event or events after work that had all the hallmarks of party

Maybe if you had the common courtesy to call him by his name people would Zuki. Not that there would be any chance at all of you recognising that there is anybody who could be a better man or woman to lead the UK than the sainted Johnson.
Better still, read the title of a thread before you post on it, and even better than that, read other peoples posts before making one yourself so you don’t repeat irrelevancies ad nauseum.

Where does
Lazy as above come from Boris seems to have been pretty busy All this Labour people usingfood banks People will always turn up for free things But Labour here block a popular discount good shop having a shop in an area known as deprived

COBRA meetings do NOT have to chaired by the PM.

I don't agree with him being blamed for everything either LuckyFour but when it's justified, it's justifiable.
