Where is Boris?!

[SleepymummyZzz]

Why is Boris no longer doing the daily press conference? I get that he doesn’t need to do it every day but it would be nice if he showed his face once a week!

It beggars belief. This is the time we need a robust opposition even more than any other time.
I think Labour and Keir have been as supportive of the Govt as they can be, especially when we were approaching the peak of COVID, but pressure needs to be applied where necessary if care homes are still not being protected etc.
And there will be a lot to answer when this has gone.

I don't think it beggars belief that some Tories understand full well that this is not a situation we can magically remove politics from, but are trying to use the covid epidemic to delegitimise criticism of Johnson. Some people are just self serving twats. The ones who amaze me are the ones who actually believe what they're saying.

I saw a tweet the other day from a woman who says she feels so angry and upset when she sees Boris attacked and feels the same as she would if it was a member of her own family attacked!

Another said that she was ‘heartbroken’ that she’d had to block and unfollow so many friends because they’d criticized her beloved Johnson.

I mean WTAF? What are these clowns on? But unfortunately this is what we are dealing with. People who aren’t very intelligent, who’ve probably never voted before in their lives and who don’t understand politics and how it’s works, and see Boris as they would say a pop star or sports person that they idolize. It is disturbing.

I couldn't agree more - but then every government needs effective opposition, and we haven't had any for far too long

It's to be hoped Starmer will help provide this, but time will tell

The love for BoJo is similar to the Trump cult love.

They love Boris's slogans and soundbites. They love his buffoonery. They love he's brought them Brexit (let's revisit that in a couple of years)
I honestly am perplexed regularly at what people see in him. He's a posh toff, whose track record with wives, women and children is appalling, he is incapable of speaking factually and relies on bluster. What is there to like?

Trump fans love it that he 'sticks it to the liberals'. He speaks his mind. He calls people nasty names.

Omg his hair!!!!

That last post just made me tune in to look. Funny seeing them all at home.

Can you imagine what might have happened in the Second World War had Johnson been in charge rather than Churchill?

The VE day parties would have been a bit different for a start..and I wouldn't have needed google translate to find out what PeterWeg had posted

I suppose it's just possible that Boris has become omnipresent with the help of his guru Cummings?

We were lucky in WW2 that the right leader was there at the right time. We've been shit out of luck this time. In what is surely the worst crisis since the war, we have a hopeless, self centred, lazy liar in charge. Heaven help us.

My parents lived through WW2 and were big supporters of Churchill. My dad used to quote his more famous speeches and agreed he was a great inspiration to them.

My mum said that her mum ( my nan) wasn't as keen and thought he was a bit of a 'war monger! ' She had lived through WW1 so maybe this might have coloured her views? I've no idea , but he had his critics for sure as all politicians do. Nobody is perfect!

I've heard the 'warmonger' thing from a few people, I suppose because Churchill was so vociferously against any appeasement and was proved right about Hitler's intentions at a time when many people were looking for any way to avoid another war (understandably).

Anyway, the comparison with Johnson is ludicrous - Churchill was an obsessive worker, highly intelligent along with vision and strategy, and had a great gift for communication. Johnson is lazy, deceitful, spouts useless gibberish and has no clue how to lead.

Ooh, yes warmonger was the term used by my grandma, she hated Churchill, she lost her son (my uncle) he was only 17 and his ship was torpedoed. Hard to think now, they were so young.

I saw BJ morph into Churchill during a Brexit Speech on the news. It was very obvious, both me and dh said at the same time.

Just a little note about the Chamberlain era. If we hadn't bought some time with appeasement, we wouldn't have had an airforce sufficient to fight the Battle of Britain- we wouldn't even have had "a Few".
