Your prime minister ladies and gents

Sorry, I didn’t realise there was a question for me to answer.

No I am not happy with what he is saying , and never have been. Is body language is that of a liar. I would have continued the wearing of masks ( I still wear mine) and introduced other measures.

I’m out with the dogs at the moment, will answer any replies on my return.

They question mark was the giveaway!

Glad we agree. You should stop deflecting in future though. it looks like you are trying to defned. Very poor form to deflect from something you agree with just so you can personally have a go at me. We need to stop this petty and personal behaviour.

Used to be called a smirk when I was a kid and I’d get a clip for it.

It seems a certain trait doesn't it? Patel is by far the worst for it. This is going to sound petty but it's why they are all so thoroughly dislikeable. Even if you use the "all politicians lie" defence. There seems to be such and arrogant, swaggering smirk to this cabinet. Knowing that they can lie blatantly and not only get away with it, but have a group of the electorate get off on it and defend it.

Agree 100%. He is just such a dislikable person. It is difficult to fathom.

I was talking to a man at work a couple of weeks. He's retired now after 50 years of working. After a chat about his retirement plans the conversation got onto the state of the country. During the conversation he actually said "I quite like Boris. He's just a normal bloke".

I stopped short of replying not wanting a political debate with a genuinely lovely bloke, so moved the conversation onto Boro instead. That was probably a worse move!
 
We find more cases as we do more testing. Isn't that obvious ? Boris is within his right to make that point.

In the week ending 20 September:
  • UK - 27 tests per 1,000
  • France - 17 tests per 1,000
  • Germany - 13 tests per 1,000
  • Spain - 16 tests per 1,000

Amazing how the press & media create this illusion unfortunately there are millions who just accept this without researching anything. Its apathy pure & simple.

Me if the government or the media tell me its raining outside I wouldn't just look out of the window to look I go would outside to make sure it was

Once again Smalltown you have attacked a poster without reading all their posts properly, the tone of your replies are unnecessary and uncalled for but typical of you. You are starting to annoy people now.

Common sense tells me when it is safe whether to wear a mask or not and I don't need the buffoon that you voted for to tell me when to do so. Yes, it would be better if this was law, something I have argued for on here in the past, and then maybe everyone would revert to wearing them in public places. I was in France for 6 weeks in the summer and the wearing of masks and the use of vaccine passports was mandatory, and from my experience, worked well. We needed to continue down this route (masks) although I accept the arguments put forward regarding the vaccine passports.

This isn't a one-off clip of Boris openly misleading the general public, it was something that was seen throughout his election campaign, what I would like to ask you though is what you saw in him that made you put a tick in his box?

Was it Neil Warnock?
 
The post-truth world we now live in.
The Prime Minister of our country can lie on record, in front of cameras; deny obvious facts . all performed safe in the knowledge that there will be not a single fuc.king consequence.

Remember Edwina Currie's statement on Salmonella in eggs? Out on her ar.se in no time at all and the fat posh tory pig lies about a pandemic that has cost 100s of 1000s of lives and has turned the planet upside down and it creates only a stir on twitter.

Why didn't he say that then?

Mentioned above but it's interesting how this interview with a reputable news agency is so different from the crap we're fed over here.

As for the "normal bloke" comment above, I mean where do you start with that? The guy is literally as far removed from the electorate as it's possible to get. I assume we can read into his comment that he actually means "he's racist as well".

Week ending 20 September we had less than twice the testing (of the average of that three), but approximately 8x the cases (of the average of that three).
By your reasoning, we should only have 2x the cases? what about the other 6x?

People generally only get tested as they're infected, because they've been near someone infected, or they're in a country that is heavily infected.

Denying the excessively heavy infection here, because we do more tests, is telling about 10% of the story.

If we tested nobody would we have no infection?

Nobby that's because those countries don't need to test so much, because the infection rates are much lower than here.

All your figures have proven is that we have a proven capacity for testing per capita beyond our near neighbours. It's only a proven capacity and the reality might be they have more capacity than us.

Fact is, more people are getting sick here, because we have such a poor response to covid, so more people are getting ill, so more people are testing.

Our infection and death rates are way beyond all those countries, because we're run by idiots.
