Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[cupid_stunt]

Am I the only person who hasn't had one yet?

No, I haven't got mine. I only got that government text message, days later than everyone else.

I think they are out to kill me off.

someone should start a project to gather names of those who have and haven't got one, so we can work out how far he got down the phone book before collapsing

Raab says he'll recover because 'he's a fighter'.

Just asking for a cytokine storm.

I got a text from my GP today saying they'll be writing to people who need to be shielded 'shortly'.

No claps given here. Or at least if any of my neighbours are clapping, they must be doing it on the down-low.

Mines's going in the post tomorrow. Unopened return to sender.

All good. So long as people don't keep them, I'm happy.

Just stuck my head out of the back door.

Not a sound, except the last few birds tweeting, and someone using a power tool round the corner.

You squarely squidged in between MI6, the new yanky embassy and some Russian oligarchs tbf. Not a usual neighbourhood.

 

[JimW]

A power tool for the tool in power.

Sad to hear


but think even the BBC where taking the piss

[cupid_stunt]

I am pleased to report no clapping here.

 

[Ax^]

Hey i live in area with a Tory Mp and mostly Chelsea fan boys

not even one asshole clapping

Yes and no. It's actually an opportunity to get some information out there about the wider situation. But they're choosing not to treat it like that. They're choosing, rather, to somewhat ignore the thousand or so people who actually did die of this thing today. And 'he'll be back in a few days' is simply a stupid, and insulting, lie. Leadership at this stage would involve a very different response. They're incapable of leadership, the useless shower of cunts.

Exactly; in one short statement Raab has simultaneously managed to belittle the personal tragedy that thousands of families are enduring and imply that their loved ones have somehow not been up to the task of fighting the virus.
Useless sociopathic cunt.

Was it meant to be tonight, then?

Nothing here that I noticed...and I was out there in the last few minutes taking a pic of the supermoon.

Sas has changed his tune a bit



and two posts loaded with humanity:

[approvingly] The first thing the army would do would be execute Corbyn, Watson and the other senior apparatchiks.

and

The cunt is a hard left IRA apologist. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. He is a completely loathsome piece of shit.

Slightly confusing though since in November 2015 Sas sort of gushed "I think Corbyn is a decent man, a genuine man. If he just changed a few things, and moderated others a bit, he could win." and "I rather like Corbyn as a person, don't agree with his beliefs, but at least he is honest enough to state them."

It looks like it was Corbyn being honest enough to state that he wouldn't use nuclear weapons that swung Sas

Sas does confuse me though - I do like him and his opinions do seem to have swung away from the tories that he used to support to some decent views but he does seem to periodically revert to type

All the more sweeter when the toerag succumbs.

You must be proud

My actual statement was:

Covid 19 is a big box of snakes.

Boris Johnson has spent the past few weeks saying that none of us should go near or put our hands in the big box of snakes, because we'll all get bitten.

BUT he'll out his hand in the box of snakes because he's the leader of the country, and it's Churchillian and that.

Boris Johnson has now been bitten by the snakes.

Boris Johnson is a f*cking moron.



Which I thought was quite clever. The worst part of it is people don't think I came up with it!

Raab says he'll recover because 'he's a fighter'. So by extenstion the many thousands who have died just couldn't be bothered to stay alive and have only themselves to blame.

Yup..stupid people; the types that probably wouldn’t bother to evacuate a burning building when they’d been instructed to stay put.

Can you hear the Tories sing?
No – oh! No-oh!

I CAN’T HEAR A FUCKING THING!
No – oh! Oh-o! Oh!

TBF it could well be the case that the sort of behaviour they are fibbing about really is what they think leadership is - the ignoring of inconvienient things like facts, existing systems, law, morals, friends or reality and just forcing things to confirm to ones will; seizing power and all that guff.

Look at how often Corbyn was decried as weak for example, even though as a leader he had actually done rather more of the things associated with the common understanding of leadership - struggling through adversity, remaining true to his beliefs, fighting off and beating his enemies (in the party at least), inspiring others and so on than Johnson has.

I agree with LBJ, they could have used this as an opportunity to reaffirm how serious this shit is and that by staying home, people are doing their bit etc. But the he's a fighter shtick, good spirits is just bog standard saying what you're supposed to stuff.

It doesn't mean I and no doubt others who have lost people to horrible illnesses think they were weak. It's a cheap lousy literal framing of cliche'd words. Let's actually attack these people for what they've done or not done. The criminal failiure to provide PPE for front line health staff. The creating of a system where the NHS is in debt, where that can actually be a thing.

What i don't under stand is he is a fighter and soon to be Dad for the 6th time

so why did he not move Carrie out of number 11

I still have my Protect and Survive under the table leaflet somewhere

the calm, clipped vowels of a male announcer, advising how to build shelters, avoid fallout, and wrap up your dead loved ones in polythene, bury them, and tag their bodies
