Johnson Admitted to Hospital

[Wash DC Blue]

Out of interest, would those who were apparently outraged by NYCBlue's comment about Johnson have been similarly outraged if someone had made the same comment about Trump or Putin?

That’s an interesting question.

One that’s answer would vary depending on an individual’s moral compass.
Me personally, I would find it more expected but still disappointing.
How abhorrent you find a person’s political or cultural influence, obviously will be factored in.

Both leaders, while divisive seem to be popular amongst their citizens.
And one was legitimately voted in democratically.
The question could be extended to Bashar Assad, Sadam Hussein or Kim Jong-un, or roll back to tyrannical leaders of history.

The context here though is a relatively moderate conservative, democratically elected PM being wished dead after he has been taken to hospital....because of political beliefs.

Not only would it be awful for his family as well as his (I’ll) fiancé and unborn child...it would be incredibly damaging to the UK in a situation that is unprecedented in our lifetimes.

Or is it because of his political actions?

Personally, I hope Boris makes a full recovery. While I don't believe he's a good man, I don't believe he deserves to die right now either. Leaving any sentiment aside, I think it will be interesting to see how he approaches politics, his leadership and life in general if and when he does recover.

That said, I could make a list right now of people I believe the world would be a better place without, and Trump and Putin would most definitely be on it. I finished watching a three-part Channel 4 documentary on Putin earlier today. His is an amazing story and it was great television. Seriously evil bastard, though. Death for him tomorrow wouldn't be too soon as far as I'm concerned, but it would be too late for plenty of the political opponents he's had murdered.
