God this is awful news, praying he pulls through along with all the others in the same situation.

stoptherideiwanttogetoff · 06/04/2020 20:38

I'll be honest this is actually the last straw for me!! 😐

InglouriousBasterd · 06/04/2020 20:38

FTSE confidence would tank if the PM died, the economy would likely spiral.

I really, really hope he pulls through Sad

Pelleas · 06/04/2020 20:38

Hoping he pulls through.

eddiemairswife · 06/04/2020 20:39

I'm no Tory, but I hope he recovers.

Stopspendingmoney · 06/04/2020 20:40

I do of course wish him the best. I would never wish harm on another person. But I also wish Tories would stop trying to silence those of us who want to speak up about this being a political issue. Just like we are called 'intolerant' if we are not tolerant of others intolerance. It's simply a way to silence opinions you do not want to hear.

Dissimilitude · 06/04/2020 20:40

Awful news, I hope he pulls through.

People gaining satisfaction from this are as predictable as they are stupid. Ignore them.

Tanfastic · 06/04/2020 20:40

This is tragic, praying he pulls through this.

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/04/2020 20:40

His poor girlfriend. Sad

Who the hell is Little Sweet?

CodenameVillanelle · 06/04/2020 20:40

I wonder if this will cause the large number of elderly people still 'popping out for their daily paper' that this is actually really serious and they need to stay home.
Boris is no more or less important than any other person in ICU but I absolutely hope he recovers.

GreenTeaMug · 06/04/2020 20:40

Oh Boris hang on there mate.

I am really desperately upset about this. Just on a human level.

Cluelessbeetroot · 06/04/2020 20:40

It might break a lot of people psychologically if he doesn’t.

This is very true.

MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee · 06/04/2020 20:41

Awful. Hope he better soon

Burnout101 · 06/04/2020 20:41

You don't have to agree with anyone's politics/views to have some humanity. I really hope Boris recovers well, as I hope everyone who is ill does. I also hope he now reconsiders NHS funding and is ashamed of depriving hospitals, doctors, nurses and plenty of other keyworkers of vital funding to appease bankers/the wealthy but those two hopes are not mutually exclusive! You don't have to like someone to be able to wish them well.

OhMargo · 06/04/2020 20:41

Let us hope he is one of the statistics that make it out of ICU alive. Plenty do, and for many reasons I hope he is one of them. But it is worrying. The last thing we need now is a political crisis.

In the back of my mind I see him as a big naughty cheeky child, and that makes me feel so sorry for him and all around him. I can't explain it, but I can only wish him well.

Thescrewinthetuna · 06/04/2020 20:41

According to Sky News their government source has told them he is not on a ventilator at present and he’s conscious. This is all positive. I hope his fiancé is OK too.

PeppermintPasty · 06/04/2020 20:41

I am in the anti-Tory camp but wish no ill on him, his family must be very worried.

But I think it is unrealistic of people to say that it shouldn’t be commented on in a political way, of course it’s political, everything is. Of course people are going to point out the hypocrisy to differing degrees.

And while I’m at it, people are ‘literally’ breaking their hearts over this? Come on people, get it together!

esjee · 06/04/2020 20:41

@Stopspendingmoney you can speak all you, just pick an appropriate place to do it ffs i.e. not in a thread about him maybe dying!

Number12 · 06/04/2020 20:41

This is just awful, I really really hope he pulls through. He must concentrate on himself right now, it just doesn't bear thinking about if he doesn't get better. I don't know him but I still want to have a good cry! It all has ramifications...

My thoughts are with him and his family.

Connie222 · 06/04/2020 20:41

Jesus Christ.

twig1234 · 06/04/2020 20:41

At this moment in time if you honestly can't say anything without the 'can't bear the man, funding for nhs or other political' then you really are something and should be ashamed.

GarkandGookin · 06/04/2020 20:41

I can't stand the man, but I wouldn't wish this on him, or his family.
I hope everyone in ICU recovers, and that includes Boris.

U2HasTheEdge · 06/04/2020 20:42

Such sad news. I hope Boris makes a full recovery.

MangoesAreMyFavourite · 06/04/2020 20:42

Oh no!! Hope he gets better soon! Sad
