Last Days of Rome

I often think the same, but the country is going down the tubes under this man - I’m not blaming Johnson entirely for the fact that there are cases of polio in this country for the first time in 40 years, but it indicative of a trend whereby we seem to be heading back to some of the worst aspects of the seventies.

I've made my opinion clear on Johnson, I think he shoiuld be gone and I hope the 1922 committee after it is relected changes the rules to allow another vote by the Mp's and that next time more of them show some basic common sense.

But unless I have missed something, I am not sure why you are blaming Johnson at all for the polio virus that has appeared.

In isolation, an outbreak of polio should not be linked to a political party, but there are so many sources now acknowledging that the poverty gap in the UK has grown in the last twelve years and is it too much of a stretch to imagine that conditions now exist in which diseases we thought had been consigned to history in this country could make a comeback?
