Boris going to India

EllanVannin

It'll serve him right to catch what I caught in Dec.2019 when two women from India were visiting relatives here for Christmas, coughing spitting and spluttering in a hospital bay opposite to where I was !
He'll know about it then as he only had a taste of the virus.

Not a very nice comment seeing as Boris nearly died of covid.

I thought likewise Alegrias and merlotgran.
I live in the South West and have been following the preparations for the upcoming summit. It isn't just a case of delegates turning up and mingling with everyone any more.

I wouldn’t wish illness on anyone but I just wonder what this man is thinking? Has he had a brain transplant or what ?

Any chance he wll stay there?

He could always get a job in a call centre. Imagine him on the end if the phone trying to sort out your query!

On that basis, I would almost welcome him back!

Ha M0nica pity the poor person he was trying to help!
#notme ??

It's supposed to be for trade talks!
Hasn't he heard of Zoom etc!!
Unbelievable.

Boris is stark staring mad! We cannot even travel and he is going to India - another April baffoon!

Not a good idea when he tells the rest of the population what they should / should not do.

It’s probably not a good idea to visit India with its rising Covid numbers.

Travel is not totally banned for the UK, it is allowed for business, elite sport and on compassionate grounds.

Typical rash decision. Buffoon! He obviously has a death wish and dear Gove is noticeably very very quiet. Be afraid be very afraid.

There is obviously space already there.

A bit of light hearted banter, although I admit the matter is serious, on here is quite funny and a relief. I spent the last 2 hours worried that some might come along and accuse the Indian call centre joke of being racist. Phew!

Maybe, with Land Rover being high profile because of the Dukes funeral, he wants to arrange for them to be made in the U.K. again? Having said that I don’t think Discoveries are made in India though (could be wrong).

Gove is still unbelievably quiet and invisible so is clearly upto something

Just announced he is not going now.

Oh dear. So what happens to the trade deal now? And is India now on the red list?

Good news as far as I'm concerned

Labour called for him to cancel the trip a couple of days ago.

Apparently the after-effects of Covid include brainstorms

The " brain-fog" which is allegedly reported as being an after-effect, was already there to start with !

Presumably the trade deal will come through once their people stop dying in droves. They possibly have other things to worry about right now as there are no hospital beds and very few doctors.

Perhaps some of the temporary COVID centres could be flown out to them.

Now to deter the Indian Prime Minister from coming over to the Cornwall summit.

It's "only sensible" not to go, says Johnson.

Thank goodness for that.
