You with your frank recognition of the impact it had on your mental health, others on the detrimental impact it had on their business.

We all, each in own way suffered. Running through this though is an unfit Prime Minister who's behaviour and hypocrisy laughed at us all until he was caught, then lied when caught because that's what he has seemingly done all his life.

I don't share the view that all Tories are scum that sometimes populates this Board. Personally if someone gave me a choice of a left leaning party losing the next election because the Tory Party came to its senses and ejected Johnson and his immoral cabal and coalesced around decent (there's that word again) people, I would take it every time.

Every day he stays in power demeans us all. No doubt if he does he will come up with ever more populist headline grabbing nonsense like the Rwandan stuff to turn the headlights on full beam into voters eyes.

I think you are a decent person who generally argues his corner well. It will be interesting to see how far you run with his hounds!
Yeah, I really do understand your position. It must have been horrible experience with your parents.

My experience was different. My father is ill with a long term degenerative disease. He had endless appointments cancelled and friends stopped calling. My mother is well, but became a recluse. I had the worst mental health I have ever experienced by a country mile. Relationships became very strained. My kids missed lots of school, it felt they were raised by youtube.

That is why I am so proud that the vaccine was our road out of all that horror. We did lead the world on that, and that call was made by the PM. These are just facts.

To me the positives of getting that call right defeats the negative of his indiscretions and rule breaking by a huge margin. It's not that I defend it, I just place less of an emphasis on it than other things.

Other people will view things differently. I absolutely understand the position of people who didnt attend funerals etc and then realise he was having cake with colleagues etc. I get it, I really do.

Covid has just been an absolutely shit thing, it's f***d with us all. I just want to move on from it all if I am honest.
