Johnson is dithering and a danger to us all.

I've been saying it for months.

He's dithering because as time goes on, he's forced to apply Socialist ideology to battle the problem, which naturally goes against the heart of the "Nasty Party".

Agree, He's a bit of a right wing Libertarian, totally against government intervention and it's causing him a few problems.

Its pointless moaning about it now. Very few people wanted Johnson as PM.

But the mad lefties insisted on retaining unelectable commrade Corbyn.

Any center-leftish leader with half an ounce of common sense would have lead Labour to a crushing victory in the last election.

So next time dithering Boris infuriates you, dont point the finger at him or the Tories.

Its the mad lefties who are ultimately responsible. Them and their sickening ignorance.

The mad lefties forced a hung parliament only a couple of years before when the Tories had an unassailable lead in the polls.

Funny! A man who wanted to invest heavily in Health (There's an idea) Public Transport, Workers rights, Contracts and pay (Alot of people are very concerned about this at the moment) Would have prefered to have talked rather that attacked and maimed (foreign policy) Cared for the vulnerable and increased services to those who needed it the most. Ring any bells lads and lasses? If that's 'Mad Leftie) then bring it on. The self Employed and those in jobs without contracts working for shithouses who don't care if their workforce ends up in extreme poverty are feeling the brunt of Tory policy that has allowed businesses to use their workforce like pit ponies. It's happening right now, Peoples misery due to this virus is being made worse by historic Tory policy.

People who voted for a Tory government are going to see in real time what they signed up to, that's the poorest and most vulnerable suffering even more. Well done. It's a bit like asking a stranger to kick you in the bollocks then complaining because it hurts.

Many voted Tory because the remainers wouldn't accept the will of the people.

Excellent post.

The mad lefties forced a hung parliament only a couple of years before when the Tories had an unassailable lead in the polls.

And if they had been more to the centre they would probably have won then.

It's up from 43 to 49%. Which is worrying.

On the handling of the Corona virus he's on 60%, while the fake news media are on 44%

Fantastic post , nail on the head, beware though you won't adhere oneself to a few, and the Tory Lite banner will be brought back out

From where it was before?

[Divine Wright]

I don’t give a feck about corbyn or johnson, especially in terms of their electability, as they’d say in the states. But if it has come to that - the fact that only someone who is sufficiently insipid can win an election - maybe the fact that a total berk can become president....sorry, prime minister....is the least of your problems. Maybe it speaks to a wider rot within english culture itself. It certainly doesn’t sound like a very progressive attitude towards politics, it sounds like prescribed conservatism.

[William Treseder]

I really don't understand what people want out of life? Boris is struggling at the moment because he's got to implement policies based on caring for the most vulnerable and helping out those poor people who are exploited by big business (his mates) There's no financial reward to be had for investing in the poor and it's killing him. People need to take a good hard look at themselves during this awful period and maybe ask themselves what's important to them and for the people that they love and care for. Hopefully the message gets through that good services and a government that cares for it's people that doesn't allow exploitation of the weakest is more important than some of their perceived views on how society should be and their sub conscious thoughts on how and what a leader should look and sound like. NHS staff in meltdown, workers worried where their next pay check is coming from and charlatan business owners thinking that they have zero responsibility towards their workforce. That's what plenty of idiots voted for.

You speak a lot of sense in your posts on this subject, but a question for you.
If the minority hold the wealth in the UK, and the majority are the poorest, then how did Labour, ever lose control of power?

Because enough people are easily persuaded to vote against their own interests. There would never be a Tory government otherwise.

It's like that cartoon that was doing the rounds before the election where there was two foxes reading a newspaper with the headline "Tories to bring back fox hunting" and one fox says to the other. "I'll vote for him because I don't like the other fella" or words to that effect.

[Tuerto]

Because Labour have pushed and implemented right Wing policy since the days of Blair, The damage was done, Working class areas have been let down for decades by the Labour party, industry and real jobs gone and not replaced, zero opportunity for people, shitty jobs in the gig economy and third generation out of work and naturalized towards a life on benefits, social poverty is the biggest problem, a huge swathe of people from proud communities demotivated, depressed and without much hope. Then the Brexit thing came along where the only people left to hold account for these peoples plight was foreign labour-Because the politicians and law makers sat back and did nothing.

When people are desperate they do stupid things, when there's nobody else left to argue with or communicate with then bad decisions are made. That's what has happened in alot of our neglected communities, there was nothing left the kick apart from the neighbours dog. Labour have been instrumental in the destruction of these areas as well. I reckon that Corbyn would've backed these people and understood their problems. Sadly, because of a right wing media, celebrity politics and still an element of post colonial fallout it seems that people in this country can't get over the idea that we have to look after our most vulnerable and improve from the bottom up.
