Does anyone think that Boris Johnson looks really unwell.

He is unwell! He's got coronaviris. So why the surprise?!

BelfryBat · 31/03/2020 21:20

@endofthelinefinally His fiancee has a name, you know. She's called Carrie Symonds and she's a person in her own right.

SirChing · 31/03/2020 21:42

He also joked about calling emergency ventilator production "Operation Last Gasp.".

Yep, the guy is a total wanker. Hardly needs to be a race to the bottom though does it?

endofthelinefinally · 31/03/2020 21:49

@BelfryBat
I haven't said a word about Carrie Symonds. What do you mean?

cardibach · 31/03/2020 21:55

I haven’t really noticed him look much different, and I wouldn’t wish this virus on anyone, but doing a good job? Nope.
It’s not even incompetence, it’s deliberate. Deliberate failure to order ventilators from British companies ready to go. Deliberate failure to engage with the EU ventilator scheme or EU funding. Deliberate mixed messages at the start. I don’t know what his game is, but it’s killing a lit of people and will kill many more.
I’d look a bit ill with that in my conscience. Just not sure he’s got one.

TSSDNCOP · 31/03/2020 22:26

@mockers that's a really shit thing to say. You're actually pleased he's caught a deadly virus?

Karma my arse.

DrierThanANunsNasty · 31/03/2020 22:29

He’s always looked like a slightly milky jellyfish to me 🤷‍♀️

StoneofDestiny · 31/03/2020 22:41

He looks the same odious Bawbag he always was

Sorry can't worry about him, the NHS staff on the frontline without proper PPE? Yes I worry about them. Shame on this govt for letting them down.

I don't wish death on anyone ever, but Donald Trump is a force for evil - I would feel relief if he went rather than glee.
Disclaimer - I know he's a US president and not anything to do with me but I hate how he spreads his brand of evil stupidity.

magicfarawaytrees · 31/03/2020 22:54

Some of these comments are absolutely vile and I’m no big fan of his. Honestly think about what you are writing.

Moonlite · 31/03/2020 22:58

I cant understand why both boris and prince charles both have mild versions of the virus and are able to continue working yet an extremely healthy gym going 35 year old father of 3 in my town (who doesnt smoke or have underline health issues) is currently in an induced come and on a ventilator and his family are begging for prayers he pulls through. Call me a tin foil hat wearer but something doesnt sit right with me.

1forsorrow · 31/03/2020 23:02

Some of these comments are absolutely vile and I’m no big fan of his. Honestly think about what you are writing. Well he's the man who casually told us many more people would lose loved ones. If he isn't going to sweat about it why should we? Is it anymore of a tragedy that he gets it than anyone else does? He's the man who joked about the last gasp programme to get ventilators. Vile you say, yes some comments are vile.

1forsorrow · 31/03/2020 23:03

On the other hand I'm glad George Alagiah is doing so well.

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon and all that.

Do you imagine posting that spiteful rubbish makes you look clever?

ch3rrycola · 31/03/2020 23:05

Weird isn't it @Moonlite
Awful about the 35 year old

ACertainSupermarket · 31/03/2020 23:08

He also joked about calling emergency ventilator production "Operation Last Gasp."

If that's true, he should be prosecuted.

Mrsmadevans · 31/03/2020 23:10

Monlite , l think it's obvious they have been given antiviral drugs.

magicfarawaytrees · 31/03/2020 23:10

1forsorrow step up then and take over from him if you know all the answers in dealing with this.

I can’t do with people who berate others but then don’t offer solutions. Like I say, I’m no fan of his. But he seems to be trying his best and he has had the virus to boot. Posters On here wishing him dead and making unfunny ‘jokes’ using culture club songs are way worse than anything he has said.

Dodie66 · 31/03/2020 23:11

I saw a pic of him today showing him doing the cabinet meeting by video link and he looked really unwell, red face, unshaven etc. I don’t think he should be working

PileofToss · 31/03/2020 23:11

I wish the man a speedy recovery, as I do anyone suffering with the virus. That said, anyone who thinks he’s doing a good job really needs to do some more research. Many more people in this country are going to die than would have if the government had put proper measures in a lot sooner. And they need to cancel fucking flights Angry

What a disservice to Jellyfish! Grin
