Boris Johnson tests positive for Covid-19

[Sasaferrato]

How did you preferred 'sensible' wing of the tory party get on against Boris by the way?

The only thing he's good at is campaigning.

The Tories are no better than Labour at selecting leaders, not that there is much to select from at present. The new Chancellor perhaps shows promise.

I don't support Labour, but can't honestly say I'm hellishly enthusiastic about the Tories at the moment. Cummings is leading Boris by the nose, Boris is rather a weak character, but you knew that already.

In my time I've seen the quality of those in politics diminish year on year. I know you have no time for Thatcher, but at least half her cabinet had the potential to be PM, of the current cabinet, not one (maybe Sunak, too early to tell). It is bloody grim., with little sign of improving.

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad that I'm towards the end of my life instead of the beginning. Things ahead don't look promising.

Labour must give up the internecine war and start pulling together, the current state of affairs is likely to lead to another election defeat, which would not be good for the country.

Yep, Boris is a good campaigner, but when it comes to running the country, not so good. If he was surrounded by talent, then it wouldn't matter quite so much, but he isn't. Patel makes my flesh crawl. ditto Gove.

Fuck knows how this is going to end, but had the correct steps been taken at the start, it would undoubtedly have been a better outcome. I can see why the strategy initially was to try and mitigate the economic consequences, it was the wrong strategy.

I think he just fancies a holiday and isn't really ill. He'll be on his third wank already.
He'll be sat around in his crusty Union Jack boxers playing COD WW2 for the next couple of weeks, pretending his Skype connection keeps crashing when the cabinet call

have some of that magic entonox, ya daft auld bugger

From the BOC website.

Preparation for use Ensure ENTONOX cylinders are maintained at a temperature above 10°C for at least 24 hours before use to ensure the gases are mixed correctly. If this is not possible, EA, D, and ED size cylinders may be used immediately if inverted three times before use to ensure mixing.

What happened was that because the room had been cold, and the cylinder not inverted, the NO level in the inhaled gas was above the norm.

I note that you appear to work in warm places, where the risk doesn't exist.

That would be of benefit to the country, so don't knock it.

How would you react if I said I hoped your parents die? Or your siblings?

If you told Johnsons kids you hoped their dad was going to die, theyd just look a bit confused and say 'who?'

 

[Teaboy]

Say what you like about Johnson but at this stage in his political career you'd pretty much have to accept that he is a vote winning machine. He has pretty much won every vote he's pitched his hat in for. People will vote for "Boris" not necessarily the conservative party, its hard to believe that any other current tory mp would have made the inroads he did at the last election were they leader.

Does anyone know exactly how many children he has?

I doubt he does.

Which is all well and good, however, winning the election is just the start. He isn't capable of running the country. Had he a crack team of ministers, that wouldn't matter so much, but he hasn't.

Fuck I'm bored.

Nice!

There's an apology waiting to be made by you on another thread, if you can't think of anything else to do...

I’ve worked in Siberia and North slope Alaska, Greenland, Northern Norway, Canada. Lugging the stuff around in ambulance and Bergen’s

The temperature for separation is -7C

Your mate must have broken the hospital central heating and left the windows open to complete your “shall remain unameless” pub dit, perhaps he was in Moscow General, mid winter

Was his patient hypothermic or was he just wrapped up well

Bet you’re a real storm down the legion

'Tis true, there are a fuck ton of voting dimbos out there.

Common humanity seems to be beyond the comprehension of left wingers.

Greater good, etc.

Greater good, etc.

Not to put too fine a point on it, from an entirely disinterested economic perspective, the COVID-19 might even prove mildly beneficial in the long term by disproportionately culling MPs

 

[The39thStep]

I'm really not sure this is good news at all to be honest. Currently my dislike for, or political differences with anyone is massively eclipsed by being much more worried about social cohesion and the ability of the State to deal with this. If figures like him start going down the fragile grip stability has on things at the moment could slip very, very quickly...

Wouldn't wish it on anyone tbh

 

[Saul Goodman]

Wouldn't wish it on anyone tbh

Me neither, but if I had to choose between Johnson and... anybody else...

 

[Wilf]

Must admit this discussion has become rather tasteless. Really, I'm saddened that some posters haven't got it in their hearts to wish the PM dead. Britain truly is broken. Personally, I want him to die and then be reanimated and to die again... horribly... and then for his shade to haunt the ExCel Centre for all eternity, pursued by the vengeful ghost of Theresa May. And who doesn't?

 

[WouldBe]

Do you think he will self-isolate in a fridge?

It would help reduce the fever.

 

[gentlegreen]

Me neither, but if I had to choose between Johnson and... anybody else...

Apart from Raab or Mogg ?
Or Trump...

 

[Smokeandsteam]

Am I the only one that thinks this is part of the blag

I don’t. But I do think the fact him and Hancock have apparently contracted it is massively helpful to their message management as we reach the predicted surge for infection/deaths in the UK.

I'm actually still in touch with someone else who was on the ward that morning, and will bear out the accuracy of what I have said. I am telling the absolute truth, whether you choose to accept that is up to you.

I do find it odd though that your figure and that of the manufacturer differ, in which circumstance, I know whose figure I would regard as accurate.

I don't mind if they share it. That's what friends are for.
