Boris epitomises the decline of conservativism; he makes even Scott Morrison look good.

Is it only me or have others noticed the resemblance between Boris Johnson and Benny Hill's 'Fred Scuttle'?

It's uncanny: the look, the mannerisms, the speech. They're like peas in a pod.

Here's Boris (or Fred ..... I'm not too sure - they're just so alike) pushing Brexit to the upper limits.

Well, What did you expect from yet another power consumed conservative baffoon who like all the other conservative baffoons, clearly just doesn't understand, that a healthy economy requires a healthy workforce and equally healthy consumers. It's basic horse and carriage stuff!

It's sorter like not understanding the connection between a returning boomerang and the act of first throwing it? Rather than waving it all over the place then complaining, it just won't come back. It has to be a faulty boomerang?

Other than that, could it be the average goldfish has a higher IQ/attention span? Sorry, splutter, splutter, blurp, Boris.

Fair go Alan, no one has a clue how to handle this virus.
They are all guessing even the epidemiologists.
There is no one alive who has experienced a real epidemic.
Except perhaps for Ebola.
People such as Boris are being thrown in at the deep end.
At least he is prepared to change his mind when it looks like he made
the wrong decision. Not like others.

It will require a deep international debrief of everyone involved and
no "I don't remembers" will be allowed.
If all the data and records are kept intact then where it went wrong
and could have been avoided will be obvious.
It will take several years to achieve that

Conservative buffoon? Buffoon he might be, but he is no conservative!

Sorry, Bazz. You're wrong. The NZ PM took the expert medical advice and guess what? An almost entirely opposite result from the UK. Just as you cannot be half pregnant you cannot beat this extremely contagious by a half-done shutdown.

It's a case of doing it once and doing it right, then progressively reopening the economy.

What you don't need is this endless on again off again approach and the mindless bluff and bluster when it, as expected, goes pear-shaped yet again.

The blustering buffoons of the conservative right, have always been focused on the economy first approach and as the NZ outcome demonstrates to anyone with an operational brain, One needs healthy workers and consumer first, to have an economy!

I said and you may check that this was a pandemic going somewhere to happen and that the USA would become the global epicentre. And the way to deal with it was a total 14-day shutdown! Rather than the half-assed responses of the conservative right/moribund buffoons!

You folk of the self-deluded far-right/privileged elite can deny whatever you care to, even the factual truth!? But that'll change none of it. And given the cap fits?
