To wonder how anyone can think Boris Johnson is doing a good job

[Katekarate]

Can't believe the mess of opening everything up Monday when the cases are going up so quickly. And when he gives speeches they're almost incoherent most of the time. I'm wondering who can look at how it's all going and not despair, I think he's rubbish at the job.

Cue "... but Corbyn..."

Well yes. Thank God I'm in Wales. Though our First Minister has relaxed more rules than he would like simply because the pond life in Downing St has, and it's not practical to have them different.

He was a lying, shagaholic poseur before he was elected. He still is. No surprise to anybody with a brain he has mishandled everything. He did only put himself forward to advance his own reputation by 'getting Brexit done'. He offered nothing else. He was the best the Tories had to offer - says a lot about the rest of them.

We are stuck with him - the most vomit inducing PM in history.

Yay we've not had a anti Tory thread for hours.
What does Captain Hindsight say?
BUT CORBYN.

At this point I’m not even convinced he’s doing a job. From Monday the government have basically said we know lifting restrictions is wrong but we don’t want to be responsible anymore so it’s every man for himself.

He’s appalling and makes me ashamed to be British tbh. He’s a lying, racist, imperialist, lazy, ignorant misogynist.

I'm not a Boris fan or a Tory but I'm not sure that anyone could do a widely acknowledged good job at the moment as there are so many unknowns. It's easy to criticise with hindsight and easy to oppose things like opening up as there are arguments on all sides.

Look at the vaccines. The Guardian and many others were howling that it was a huge mistake to not join the EU scheme but the gamble paid off, this one may or may not. Only time will tell

Yes I think he was there for Brexit and it was very bad timing that the pandemic happened on his watch. He's still popular though isn't he. But to me he's coming across as incompetent.

Do I like boris: No
Do I surport the Conservatives : Hell no
Do I think he’s doing a good job: no
Do I think I or anyone else could do better: No

I do think we are living in difficult times and I highly doubt that anyone could do much better. No matter what anyone does there would always be someone unhappy with what is going on.

When there is one horse in a race...

Nah, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who could have made a better fist of things than Boris. It wouldn't be difficult seeing as he is a lazy homophobic sexist racist prick.

We should expect higher standards from our politicians rather than going "oh, but they are all shit."

I preferred Theresa May.

The only people I know who don't think he has done the worst job (I know no one who thinks he has done an actual good job), generally feel anyone in power at this point would have made huge errors. Just different ones.

Buts that's not the same as a doing a good job.

We have the worst possible Prime Minister at the worst possible time.

And millions of people voted for him. It's utterly baffling.

I preferred Mr Blobby

And I detest Mr Blobby

I don't accept that he was the best the Tories had to offer. The Tory Party membership thought he was the most electable though.

It doesn't say much for their intelligence, honesty or decency.

And I can assure you that I would do a better job.

the gamble paid off, this one may or may not. Only time will tell

I'm not the gambling type and find it terrifying being in the middle of his gamble personally

I cant believe I am saying it but I also would much prefer Theresa May

My 8 year old could do a better job

I preferred Theresa May

Yes I think she would have done a much better job of handling all this than he is doing.

I can't believe Jeremy Hunt would have done as bad a job.

Definitely not a Boris fan here he was actually my hometown mayor years ago as far as I’m aware he was awful then too.

It’s like he has given up. The country seems 50/50 on whether or not restrictions should continue so it basically feels like he has said, “it’s a lot of effort to tell you what to do and for people to ignore it, so crack on and you only have yourselves to blame if it goes horribly wrong...”

Meanwhile 1200 scientists across the world have condemned the uk governments approach this morning, so we might as well kiss good bye to holidays abroad etc this summer as nobody will want us

"Do I think I or anyone else could do better: No "

Jacinda Ardern seems to have done, and be doing, a far better job!
