Boris Johnson- Prime Minister (Vol. 3)
Discussion
It's very disappointing to watch Johnson fail so badly at dealing with the initial journalist encounter but regarding the NHS; IME it's always sucked. Fortunately I've only used it once 30 years ago and was sent home with an undiagnosed broken jaw; the only other time I've been in a hospital was with my now wife 20 years ago who was admitted at 10pm having smashed her head open and lost consciousness and we left without being seen at 5am... AFAIK the NHS has always been ''in crisis'' and probably always will be.

So the facts are:.
The kid was seen, diagnosed with tonsillitis, given oxygen and air through a mask and had a bed.
Due to a more serious case needing the bed, kid is given a chair to sit on while still on the mask.
For whatever reason, kid is then lying on the floor on coats presumably supplied by the mother and a photo is taken.
Said photo is then sent to the local paper.
Why would you send that photo unless you wanted to score points against someone? The whole thing stinks of interference in an election.
The issue is not the pic even though people want to make it that, Boris chums in IT decided to try to rubbish it cos it showed him up, that is what happened. On the back of that they got a car crash claim of assault (Hancock races to hospital to do something), all pushed by Tory HQ as well for the latter and almost defiantly involved in the rubbishing pic bit. The pic really is really not the story here.The kid was seen, diagnosed with tonsillitis, given oxygen and air through a mask and had a bed.

It's great, PH. We have a video of thepmM, who is hoping for re-election, absolutely flummoxed by a simple, straightforward situation that many mps deal with on a day to day basis. It was appalling. He took a journo's phone from him. Now that ain't the actions of a pm. I confess I wasn't surprised by him being out of his depth, but I was at just how badly he dealt with the situation. And what do we get: I was in A&E and didn't lie on the floor once.
We'll get Johnson as pm because, it would appear, we deserve such an excuse for a politician. Such an excuse for a man even.

Assuming we do get him, it will be because there was nobody better put forward. We'll get Johnson as pm because, it would appear, we deserve such an excuse for a politician. Such an excuse for a man even.
Same goes at party level.
The phone thing is a non-event.

Or someone posted the truth, received death threats against both herself and her family and scared silly told the hacked story. Probably encouraged by her friend the nurse at the hospital who saw rent-a-mob turn up at the hospital where she worked... Who knows...
Boris tried to divert from the lad on the floor after being made look a fool. The way it went through the social media pushed by the usual suspects, it was an out right attempt to rubbish it. Worked for many Boris fans I think?On top of that Tory head office push the punch for something it was not on the back of the same pic. I hope the reporters now question the hell out of the heads of press offices for the "official source says". Yesterday was a big scam and people got played.
Nasty people got on the band wagon cos that is what they do. The start was trying to rubbish the pic.
How many turned yup at the hospital as rent a mob? The video of the punch doesn't show a lot, I expect other parties have a similar system.
But maybe Boris is getting a leg up. Facebook it seems is missing its ad library.

Every day that goes by reveals that Johnson is way, way out of his depth as PM and I wouldn't be surprised to see moves to try and replace him post election. We'll get Johnson as pm because, it would appear, we deserve such an excuse for a politician. Such an excuse for a man even.
On the other hand, his policy of sacking any Tories with any ability at all leaves him looking like a towering intellect in comparison with the rest of the cabinet.

Sorry, you mean Corbyn, right? On the other hand, his policy of sacking any Tories with any ability at all leaves him looking like a towering intellect in comparison with the rest of the cabinet.

For clarity, I am not a Boris fan, though I'm probably less critical of him than you are, Derek.We'll get Johnson as PM because enough people will vote for the Tories. The only realistic alternative is to elect a bunch of loony Marxists who would gravely damage this country with their crazy policies. If Boris is the price we have to pay for a semi-decent government then I'll take that, given the alternative.

kers were a disaster for this country, Corbyn and his bunch of clowns are so very, very much worse, by an unknown multitude yet to be invented or heard of.Edited by Mothersruin on Tuesday 10th December 20:14

All true. This country is days away from almost certainly electing a fundamentally dishonest, self interested racist to high office, we could hardly sink any lower as a nation.FN2TypeR said:
