You should be on that panel, similar calibre of questioning.

It is very kind of you to compare my question to the throughtful and relevant questions the committe are asking Boris.

If I may return the complement, your answer is very much like Boris'.

I have pals in critical care they all got breaks, many had a staff room full of Dominos and various other donated treats. Yes it was of course hard work but they were all well supported, counsellors even available as needed.
Anecdotes work both ways.

breaks, treats, pizzas whilst socially distancing wasn't a problem.

PPE on the other hand....

My favourite so far is 'we didn't touch each other's pens' but they pass each other drinks

When will you actually answer that question? Simple yes or no will suffice

My stepdaughter used to be a talented ITU nurse. After seeing all her patients leave in body bags while working 13 hour shifts without a break because there wasn’t enough PPE, she left ITU in September 2020 with PTSD. She’s still a nurse but has left her vocation and the job she loved.

That’s one tiny example of what was going on while this apology for a human being was “motivating the staff” in Downing Street.

The question now is: what did he actually do as PM?

We know the answer, tending the pot plants Wink

@Janiie Are you still of the view it is perfectly acceptable for a 56 year old to have a birthday party whilst denying that opportunity to millions of children?

Ushered out to the garden party, like being ambushed by a cake. Who pulls his strings if he isn't doing anything himself

The question now is: what did he actually do as PM?

If everyone else told him what to do, where to go and what to say, then he didn't actually do anything as PM.
In fact, we could elect a 10 year old and they could do the same as him, very easily.

So far, the only thing he seems to have done as PM is pick up the phone and speak to Lizzy.

Gosh, everything is someone else's fault.

"They didn't tell me", "Nobody explicitly told me"

Did he just walk around not looking anything and engaging his brain?

My understanding of Boris is the brain is not the part of his anataomy he most regularly engages.

BIt unfair on rats, some of them are quite pleasant in comparison to Boris.

What a load of monotonous dullards on the panel droning on and on asking the very same questions. Loving Bernard's little hippy bracelet.

My boss managed to motivate and encourage his staff by zoom

I attended my Grandfather's funeral by zoom

We didn't pass pens, but we did pass drinks.

Well that's ok then.

I didn't get an fpn, they only count as evidence if I got an fpn. What fucking planet does he live on?

countrygirl99 · 22/03/2023 16:27

My dad was in his 90s and in and out of hospital over an 18 month period. Most of the time there were no visitors allowed. One time it was less than 50/50 he would make it. Because he wasn't definitely dying there was no exception to the no visitors rule. I had to explain to my mum, who has alzheimers, that he may die but no she couldn't go and see him. He was in 5 weeks that time.

He's doing his usual thing of pretending he's repeating the question asked but actually turning it into a question he can slightly more easily answer. Despicable trick!

Luckily he's being questioned by politicians who all know what that is and how it works.

He looks like a recalcitrant schoolboy
