PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

That's global warming for you.
We in the New Republic need to get on the case at an exponential rate. Pack off the Windsors to their prison cells and let's free our genius scientitsts to get on with the job.That and peak oil are the tasks ahead. Let's get on with it and crack it in collaboration with our many friends around the world. Not a single second further to waste.

Has anyone ever actually thought about how hard it must be to be the prime minister during a pandemic? It’s easy to bash Boris Johnson for even the slightest mistake he makes when it comes to handling the pandemic, but it is inevitable that one is going to make mistakes when there isn’t exactly a road map - this pandemic is unprecedented.

What could anyone else do better than what Boris Johnson is doing now?

Remember, hindsight is a wonderful thing and he has admitted to making mistakes.

The only legitimate criticism I think is that he should have got rid of Dominic Cummings when Cummings broke the Covid-19 rules. The fact that he did not kind of sent out the message do as we say and not as we do.

Could any other politician or anyone for that matter do a better job?

I’m sure that many people wouldn’t even like to be the prime minister at this time because of how much pressure you would be under.

And, in Boris Johnson’s defence, his advisers will debate amongst themselves about things because in the scientific community there are always debates so it’s not like he’s being told to do the same thing by every adviser and it’s not like he can please all of the public because some people think he acts too soon or too late when it comes to announcing a lockdown, etc.

I think we should be given him credit where it is due and the fact that the vaccine rollout is working properly is certainly something he deserves praise for, I don’t see how anyone can argue against that.

Welcome to urban Mr Johnson.
 
Hermione Jack Lol. He deserves zero praise for the vaccine rollout, that's down to the NHS. The only thing he's done well is enrich his mates.
Of course he does, he is the PM.

The bigger picture?

He could always quit if it's so tough.

Boo fucking hoo

Who could do a better job?

What needs to be done differently?


The bigger picture is thousands died unnecessarily due to the mismanagement of the government he leads during the crisis, exacerbated by their previous policies which had weakened the NHS and public health preparedness.
Mismanagement was bound to happen no matter who was the PM at the start of the pandemic. As I said, we are in unprecedented times.

Which “previous policies” weakened the NHS? Please be specific.

No one could have prepared the public for something that is unprecedented. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Boris Johnson has admitted that he has made mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, it is called being a human.
 
Of course he does, he is the PM.

We have lengthy threads here detailing how they specifically defunded pandemic preparedness and similar. As to the general weakening of the NHS, understaffing, bed shortages, outsourcing of key components, you name it they've done it and I find it hard to believe anyone old enough to type paragraphs on a forum missed that.
 
Are you seriously suggesting that the people who have died of Covid-19 were all because of Boris Johnson? If so, please do elaborate.
No of course not - bit of a strawman eh? Please check through the many threads/posts on urban that showed what people believed and when. Then come back and tell us that nobody could have known/done any better than Johnson.
