So, I keep seeing people hating on Boris Johnson for his reaction and response to the global pandemic that is covid-19....

Can we stop?

Let's face it, no other british politician could of done any better, and before you say, "well actually, blah blah blah"

A, there is no way to know if others would've done any better.

B, he didn't start the pandemic, cut the man some slack, he is doing his best in a poor situation.

This is not s thread to start political conversation, it's purely a venting opportunity so I can get all these tards bitching about Boris out of my head.

If you have something constructive to add, by all means, be my guest, but if like the majority of the forum, you are going to jab and leave snide remarks, then please, don't.

I agree. I think they are doing the best they can. They get slagged off no matter what they do.

You can't seriously expect to post that and expect to get no response or snide remarks?

It's like the government giving guidelines on lockdown and people not to meet up; you didn't really have hope that people would listen, did you?

All I was going to contribute was you don't actually know whether any other politician would have handled it better but you answered that in a comment further down.

I don't think he did his best at all. There's a reason why other countries death rates are low and that's because their government took the right action.

Johnson, Trump and Putin ? All at all time lows, heroes or zeros, let the people/voters decide.

He has to take the rough with the smooth. It comes with the territory.

I personally couldn't give a damn unless he directly effects my life adversly. Then he, as far as I'm concerned is open to criticsm.

The DC affair speaks for itself.

The flood affair speaks for itself.

The pandemic, well Event 201 last October says it all.

I did think I could post it and not get snide remarks, hence why I posted it.

The comment on not replying with snide remarks is to dissuade said individuals, which I believe it did?

I was of the group believing lockdown to be the incorrect choice of action due to the average individual in the UK being far far stupider than that of other countries, it only works if everyone follows, once it was shown that people weren't following, it should of been rescinded, but I understand why it wasn't, what with that being a metaphorical bullet in the head of his career in the eyes of the media.

You think Boris knowingly chose a course of action that was non optimal in his eyes?

Don't be silly, he did the best he could do with the options given to him.

The fact that like 75% of the country consists of halfwit tards is not his fault.

Very true no other would have done any better than what Boris has done but some may have done a lot worse

So

I say let’s chap for boris when it’s all over as he as saved many from bankruptcy and paid people to stay home not that most took any notice and still swanning around like they on holiday

Nice one Boris I say

But as usual he and his controllers are playing the halfwit tards. Hence giving them a set of “guidelines” that they would of course treat as optional, with or without a poor example from the PM’s advisor/handler.

Central

It's an open forum, with political themes generally for the politics forum area.

There are widely differing results between countries and these have been largely influenced by the political leaders in charge. Thus there is overlap between the 2 areas.

The most pertinent time to review how things are going, whilst still having the opportunity to learn and adjust things accordingly, is to be prompt. Silence doesn't help anyone.

If there are areas that we don't like here, we're free to move along and to view something different. We typically can learn a lot from each other, which doesn't get to happen if we become closed to alternative ideas.

Public need to shout from their furloughed sofas about something, all of these comparisons all the time to other countries are driven by the theatre news and the DC debacle proved that, thoroughly researching actually what happened is a step too far for many.

I applaud boris for the job he is doing and I don't envy the position he is in at all its a lose lose situation for him especially with a new family

Johnson has found to be lacking throughout. He signed up for the glory and prestige and to go down in history as having got Brexit done. He is out of his depth, he didn't sign up to steer the country through a crisis of this magnitude.

To be honest even the tory press and tory MPs have raised concerns about him there are just the diehard Johnsonites who seen to think he can do no wrong.

Oh and a death count that dwarves other countries suggest others could have done better quite simply because elsewhere others HAVE done better

Okay so, to start with, NO politician signs up knowing they will have to steer the country through a global pandemic, so that's a null point you made there.

Seemingly another person who failed to correctly read my posts.

"Elsewhere others HAVE done better."

Elsewhere being the main word there...

Just because another country did better we should've done better too, that's stupid, they're different people, with a different populous, different ideas and different circumstances.

Now name another British politician who could've done better, actually, I'll give you the answer, there aren't any...

They're all full of shit and don't know fuck all to do with normal life.

Why would I say anything constructive about someone I think it’s ultimately complicit in genocide?

It’s like being asked to not criticise hitler, trump, Assad, Pol pot do I need to go on....?

He was fundamental in the decisions made which have influenced how the virus has been able to transmit through the population. For example delaying the decision to lock down earlier, not firing an advisor resulting in less compliance to the already mixed message he said as sending, allowing large scale public gatherings to go ahead (Cheltenham) etc etc.

I’m happy to go toe to toe on intellect if you want to put your halfwit tard comment to the test!

Just out of interest, I assume by tard you are referring to the out dated, derogatory term retard? I request that you don’t use such derogatory language to describe people you feel are intellectually inferior to oneself

I despair op. Do you really not want better for your country? Just look at Johnson's record in anything. You wouldn't trust him to run an egg and spoon race let alone the country. You can honestly post this when only yesterday he said he will 'taking control' of the crisis personally....

What the absolute fuck has he been doing since this whole thing started then?? How is it right that the clown was on holiday for two weeks just before the nation was heading toward a pandemic? I just can't see what it will take for people to see that this emperor is not only naked, but he is shitting on the crowd. Unbelievable

It's very difficult to have a conversation when people over posts and don't take in what somebody else has written.

I stated in my original post, no other british politician could've done better, you said ofcourse they could because elsewhere others have done better.

Glossing over my post, just to shit on Boris some more.

All politicians are awful, so people need to just stop hating, not even just Boris, all politicians.

Ofcourse we all want the best for the country, but let's face it, there's nothing we as individuals can do.... We just have to hope that those in charge are doing their best, and that's that.

Get on with your lives people.

So almost 3 months down the line and you believe we shouldn't compare to other countries. If I can look at other countries, how they handled it and what has worked, why couldn't the government?

What should have been realised is what was put in place here did not work and things should have changed, not relaxed!

I'd have more respect if they could admit their failings and rectified them but alas the did not and money comes before people.

i wouldn't slag off Boris too much no point, but in my opinion you cannot say no one else would have done a better job, we cant know, i don't think the government has done a very good job with the covid situation, they are hiding behind the experts for when the blame game starts, the only good thing they have done is the furlough scheme.

Everyone will have their opinion but in mine Boris has been shown to be an inept politician and a weak leader, and the only time he has shown strength was in defending Cummings, which was laughable in itself, but just my opinion

They have a job, to do what they feel is best for the country and its citizens.

But you also need to look at it from the view of the media, because ultimately, the media control everything, they can paint a good situation to look horrific, skew results to show different outcomes and even flat out lie.

If they'd taken the back step, admitted fault, and totally changed their game plan, the media would of crucified them.... And unfortunately, people mindlessly listen to what the media presents.

Now, I will admit that now... Months later, it is a possibility.

But given how dead set against listening to, and following what is said the public seem to be, imo, it probably wouldn't make much difference.

If you don’t like the ‘tards’ bitching about Boris there is a very easy solution. This a man who initially told us to take it on the chin then boasted about shaking hands with COVID patients and them caught the VIRUS. I could list the rest of his and the governments mistakes over the last 3 months but I fear you either don’t care or don’t understand.

I recall less than 20,000 deaths would be seen as them doing a "good job" so what is now that the UK has headed over 50,000?

Also yesterday the UK had 359 deaths, but the combined figure for the rest of E.U was 314!

Saying he realised when it was too late does not justify the problem of the incompetence, there is nothing stopping the attempt of rectifying it now. Instead people don't need to quarantine when coming to the UK until 8th June, everything else happened with immediate affect why did this have several weeks to be enforced; not that it's actually being enforced!

Which politician could have done better? Jeremy Hunt. He was the other realistic option last summer when May quit, and while most of the NHS apparently hate him he was health secretary long enough to learn a few things that would have been useful in a health crisis. He might have also been aware of the Op Cygnet report given that it happened while he was there!

He's been fairly tough on the health select committee in the last couple of months, asking questions that the rest of his party would rather not answer.

Boris is out his depth. The man was only interested in the title of Prime Minister & not the job. Standing up for an advisor, who's paid to do a job & wasn't voted into the position says it all, & then happily saying I've met people suspected of having Covid-19 & admitting to shaking hands when your medical experts have said avoid physical contact is just plain stupid. And the latest, I'm taking control 5 months after this started?? Seriously???? You're the PM, whis been running the show up until now???

I have seen some real tory supporters who have expressed their disregard to the way the situation has been handled. I'm still yet to see how anyone can respect let alone praise Boris for the way he has handled this situation-it is like those that do are blind!

Well we know Farage would have enforced boarder closure!

I think any other would have handled this situation better, we can see from Boris's previous voting history that he has no interest in the people and only him and his needs!

If any other PM would have handled this the way Boris had, I would be saying exactly the same because in all fairness it is complete and utter shambles!

We hold the government we have in power to account. It has nothing to do with who might have been in power. We hold the PM and his chosen cabinet to account. The whole “who could have done better” doesn’t fly. The buck stops with the person in charge. He wanted to be PM therefor he will be held to account and judge vs the rest on the developed world.

I don't think farage is an MP therefore not eligible

Please say details of your choice and why.

What is pointless is trying to defend Boris by saying that all the alternatives might have been as bad . Are you suggesting that Boris is just the best out of a really really shit bunch?

He was an MP when the PM became PM. I can't stand the guy and wouldn't want him as PM- my comment was tongue in cheek.

I didn't just state they would have been better. I said I'd hope they would as based on previous voting history you can see who is for the people and who is for themselves.

Unfortunately, we will never know who could have done better and like it has been stated we/I will/should hold the current PM to account.

"Op, if you want sycophantic fawning for Boris perhaps spend more time on whatever websites the tory die hards use..?

We still are an open democracy where people can raise their opinions about the powers that be without some person using banal terms as you have done so..

"

Firstly, I don't know where you people get the idea that I'm fawning for Boris... Again, another person who has failed to understand what I have written.

I said, can we stop the needless bashing of him, it's not doing any good, and it's just flat annoying as fuck.

As for the other message, I wasn't calling anyone a tard for critisizing Boris, they got that word for doing, as you have, and glossing over my posts and not understanding what I'm actually saying.

I do not like any politicians, they are all full of shit (something I have said previously that you quite obviously glossed over, else you'd know I'm not fawning for Boris), we need to just stop the needless bashing.

And hold up, you lot are allowed to call him a clown and scum... Liken him to Hitler and pol pot.... But I'm not allowed to offhand use the word tard in reference to somebody who has clearly not understood, glossed over or ignored what I have written?

Yeah, sounds fair....

I'd noticed this habit too. Instead of defending Johnsin with references to where he's excelled in this crisis his supporters seem to think arguing everyone else would have also done the worst job in Europe is somehow vindication for Johnson's performance.

So instead of "who could have done better" maybe someone could answer the question, what has Johnson done well?

I do apologise. He ran as leader of The Brexit Party in the run to become PM.

"we have to have a PM so who would you have instead?

"

The problem right now is that Johnson and Cummings have filled the Tory cabinet with people whose main qualification is that they're loyal, so there's not a lot of talent there.

But current Tory MPs who I think would do a better job than Johnson:

Sajid Javid

Teresa May

Penny Mordant

Jeremy Hunt (just about)

And if we're allowed Labour/Greens or former MPs

Rory Stewart

Keir Starmer

Sadiq Khan

Dan Jarvis

Caroline Lucas

Yvette Cooper

Ed Milband

David Gauke

Philip Hammond

Hilary Benn

Ruth Davidson

Dominic Grieve

And as for passing up the threads...

Not once did I ever mention political hate threads, I even posted this in the virus subforum, as it was originally, centred around the hate Boris is getting due to the virus...

Moderators weirdly enough, moved it to the politics subforum, a subforum which I've never even opened.

My original point was people posting statuses hating on Boris, which I admit, wasn't clear, but I didn't feel it necessary to make that distinction when I have never been to the politics subforum, and genuinely didn't know there even was one.

When you see 5-6 statuses, pretty much in a row, all just hating on the PM, for no good reason, is very annoying and off-putting.

Ofcourse I block them, but it's becoming increasingly more common.

"we have to have a PM so who would you have instead?

The problem right now is that Johnson and Cummings have filled the Tory cabinet with people whose main qualification is that they're loyal, so there's not a lot of talent there.

But current Tory MPs who I think would do a better job than Johnson:

Sajid Javid

Teresa May

Penny Mordant

Jeremy Hunt (just about)

And if we're allowed Labour/Greens or former MPs

Rory Stewart

Keir Starmer

Sadiq Khan

Dan Jarvis

Caroline Lucas

Yvette Cooper

Ed Milband

David Gauke

Philip Hammond

Hilary Benn

Ruth Davidson

Dominic Grieve

"

Theresa May? What?

You mean the woman now known for saying "Brexit means Brexit"

Yeah, she was obviously a great leader, spouting nonsensical BS that she obviously didn't even understand.

I mean, did you see her on TV at all? She even looked like she was clueless, probably didn't even know where she was or how she got the job.

Ask her what Covid-19 is.... She's so out of touch with the world she probably thinks it's a new video game or something....

"

Thought ed milliband was 1 of the weakest leaders labour have ever had."

He wasn't great but it's not a "who's great" list, it's a "who'd be better than Johnson" list.

"Out of interest can people name the person (British MP eligible to be PM) who they think would have been a better PM and why. Try to steer clear of hindsight

Sorry mate its a bit of a daft question, it's who we have now and how he's handling it and I use that term loosely..

Not saying everything that has happened has been wrong or inept, the financial side from the treasury was despite not being perfect pretty much well done but there have been some nigh on negligent decisions made..

I was just interested in suggestions. So many say he is rubbish and I am also not happy but we have to have a PM so who would you have instead?

If you have no suggestion that's perfectly ok

Honestly it's a bit like asking who would have been a better or different captain than the guy on the titanic or in charge of England winning the 03 World Cup..

I will take that as a no suggestion then.

Well if you look up the page I suggested Hunt as a valid alternative and explained why but you've ignored that suggestion."

That was not in response to your suggestion. Sorry was not ignoring you just lack of time today. Hunt is a credible choice. I think he may of done a similar job but been more open about mistakes made as opposed to bragging it

Yeah, she was terrible, and she'd still be better than Johnson.

Shame, isn't it?

"

Do you think Boris is doing a good job dealing with the pandemic? I think the financial side has been good but the rest has been awful. "

Honestly? No, but as I said in my original post, there's no point to saying "he/she would've done better!" Because we have to face the fact that, nobody knows that... Not even the politicians themselves know if they would've done better.

We have Boris, end of, yes, be critical of him, and blame him for as much as he deserves blame for.

But posting a status on a swinging website just blasting hate at the man for, as I said, doing what he feels is best in a fucked up worldwide situation, isnt going to help anyone, just piss people off and annoy.

What type of ‘hate’ have you read? If it’s criticism of the way he is doing the job then it is fair game but you have to remember that this is a man that has made numerous racist and homophobic comments . He isn’t a very nice person

I've read him being called all sorts of nasty names without reason, he has even been likened to Hitler earlier in this thread.

Most of what I am reading, are 1-2 short sentences, with no political association, referring to lockdown, amount of deaths, and ending in calling him various names.

Most people have said some homophobic or racist things in their life, even me, now I'm in no way defending that, but I'm also not using it as an excuse to ramble hate on somebody.

Not at all... I used that word in reference to stupid people, saying stupid things, and not actually basing what they've said on anything, just stupidity.

I didn't just post a reply calling somebody a tard then leave it at that... I used the word in conjunction with an argument point I was trying to get across.

This person just up and calls me pitiable, pathetic and that's just that....

Imo, 2 different situations in which people are being called names, except I gave reference as to why...

Would it be fair to call him racist and homophobic then? People are getting upset about the way he is dealing with the crisis, if can’t deal with the name calling and hate then maybe he isn’t fit for the job. If you feel the hate is over the top on here then report the profiles and block them,

I'm not going to report the profile for expressing hate of our PM in a public setting, that is petty.

I don't see what is going to make you realise the guy is a pathological liar who is only concerned about his career. Integrity is the keyword here, he has none. He thinks the rules do not apply to him. Look at any position he has held, it's a litany of cock ups. He has not one decent political achievement to his name.

I was sucked in, I used to like him. The silly hair, the Latin, the daft quips. After that there is literally nothing of substance.

Now, that's fine, if you want a comedian/clown running the country....I don't.

I'm not going to quote because it's pointless.

Yeah, the pitiable and pathetic line wasn't directly quoted at me, but it was said in response to my asking people to stop hate bashing the PM... Who else was he referencing in that message?

As for looking for things to suit my agenda, do you think im going around looking on people statuses for hate remarks?

I dont have an agenda.... statuses are viewable by locale... Hotlist, and friends.

I've seen none on my friends list, a few on my hotlist, but it's mostly the local members where I end up seeing and reading it.

"I'm not going to quote because it's pointless.

Yeah, the pitiable and pathetic line wasn't directly quoted at me, but it was said in response to my asking people to stop hate bashing the PM... Who else was he referencing in that message?

As for looking for things to suit my agenda, do you think im going around looking on people statuses for hate remarks?

I dont have an agenda.... statuses are viewable by locale... Hotlist, and friends.

I've seen none on my friends list, a few on my hotlist, but it's mostly the local members where I end up seeing and reading it."

So you can call people ‘tards’ for hating on Boris but others can’t call people defending him pathetic and pitiful?

But in your OP you stated he's going his best! That's one thing that led me to comment.

Somebody can do a bad job, and still be doing thier best.

"

But that can not be said for Boris. He has refused to acknowledge professional advice and gone against advice given! IF he was doing his best, he'd at least listen to those who know hat they're on about!

So we should congratulate Boris for doing a really bad job as long as he is doing his best? He spent the first 2 weeks of the crisis on holiday. If his best is not good enough he should do the honourable thing, resign

Again, I don't believe I called anyone a tard specifically for hating on Boris, I used the word in reference to the average member of the public being stupider than a sack of bricks, and a few people on this thread who said stupid shit for no reason other than to stir the pot, which they did, and haven't come back since....

But you ‘stirred the pot’ with your OP. You can’t call people names then get offended when others call people names, that would be hypocritical. Which members of the public or stupider than a ‘sack of bricks’ ? The ones criticising Boris?

Where are you getting this shit from?

I did not once say congratulate him, okay.

In fact, I said be critical...

I honestly believe he is doing his best, it might not be as good as everyone wants, and he might make fuck ups, but we can only ask people to do their best... He is what we have at the end of the day, we have to deal with it and try to see this through to the end.

Presumably doing your 4 best is fucking off to the country and missing 4 key meetings.

To be utterly fair to him I wouldn't lay this total clusterfuck at his door but his position Carrys a degree of responsibility.

Ultimately he is supposed to be the man in charge, he appointed the ministers and if they aren’t doing their jobs properly he should replace them .

He will still get my vote and many more

Even tho iv not had a brass cent from the government thro all of this pandemic

As I do not qualify as my company’s are oversea’s I came back home in November

For what he did for almost every last one of the people with the furlough scheme he stood there and saved a lot of asses some are even moaning about that.

Ffs just listen to some of you some need to stop Yr arse eating the couch

Well for one, my intention is stated in my original post.

It was a way to vent about people using fab as a platform for hatespeech against our PM.

I replied to _arciocial (apologies if I'm misspelling) and used the word tard, but the manner of my reply wasn't aggressive or defensive, it was a genuine reply.

I then only started actually replying again when people turned up to use the thread is created to try and motivate people to stop the hate, to spout more hatespeech.

Honestly, I don't care if I'm making myself look a fool, plenty of other people also managed that for themselves in this thread imo, by not understanding or seemingly even reading what I had written.

"So, I keep seeing people hating on Boris Johnson for his reaction and response to the global pandemic that is covid-19....

Can we stop?

Let's face it, no other british politician could of done any better, and before you say, "well actually, blah blah blah"

A, there is no way to know if others would've done any better.

B, he didn't start the pandemic, cut the man some slack, he is doing his best in a poor situation.

This is not s thread to start political conversation, it's purely a venting opportunity so I can get all these tards bitching about Boris out of my head.

If you have something constructive to add, by all means, be my guest, but if like the majority of the forum, you are going to jab and leave snide remarks, then please, don't."

1. Don't tell me what to do.

2. Don't call me a tard.

Your point A:

Agreed. The reverse is also true. To suggest that a Labour government would have been even worse is also facile and no more than opinion.

Even if you believe that their response would have been worse, you are logically admitting that this is the best any UK government could have done - which is obviously utter shite.

Your point B:

Why should I cut him any slack? His best has clearly not been good enough - and I was one of the 56.4% of UK voters who did not assent to him forming a Government.

Perhaps part of the reason he and his Cabinet are being held up to scrutiny - and even ridicule - is that they have done such a poor job of handling this crisis, that many people (by no means all of them tards, as you - with your towering intellect - would call them) actually believe they could do better themselves.

Undoubtedly, they would be wrong; but the mere fact they think they could is an indication of how little faith Boris has been able to instil in them.

He does not fill everyone with confidence, the way he fills you.

1. I didn't tell you what to do, not at all, I didn't tell anyone what to do, I don't know where you got that idea.

2. I didn't call you a tard, I don't even know who you are, but you obviously aren't the average member of the public.

A. I did not say anybody would be worse, or anybody would be better.

I claimed that there is no point in saying "X would've been better, Y would've been worse" because there is no way of knowing that, what's done is done, and making those assumptions is just a waste of time.

B. I'm not telling you that you have to cut him some slack, it was originally a question, when I asked "can we stop?".

And I don't know about you, but have you been going around spouting hate about Boris on fab? I wouldn't of thought you had... So ultimately, I haven't even asked you to do anything at all.

I don't know why you felt the need to reply.

I suggest you go and live in China or Russia, you won't have to worry about people criticising their glorious leaders. You can't come on a forum and tell people to stop scrutinizing a government. You maybe happy with a bloke who fucks off on holiday, misses essential meetings, shakes hands with contagious patients and only decides to take control of the crises 4 months in.

So, go and hug your Boris effigy, let others have their own opinion on this shit shower.

Jeez.... How many times do I have to say I'm not a Boris fan, I'm just sick of hate being publicly displayed on a fucking swinging website....

Then all lot turned up without correctly reading the post and started making wild fucking assumptions and putting words in my mouth.

Other than the fact that you quoted me literally pointing out that he doesn't instill me with confidence, and acted as if I worship the man.

I have openly said, be critical, but hate for hates sake is just pointless and annoying.

If you are going to be critical of Boris, fine, when you've got your points and you make them, that's all good.

When you look at the updates page to see people just posting things like,

stupid cunt Boris ruining all our fun, scumbag.

Or,

Boris is such a tosser, I hope he gets covid again.

No one has uttered those words in this forum. From what I can see people have made the judgments on his performance. Which for many of us is beyond woeful. For me personally I think he has blood on his hands.

Only reason I'm asking is that someone now not on the site said something similar weeks ago and was roundly criticised by pretty much everyone who frequents the politics forum..

You asked people to 'please stop'.....what scrutiny. You can always not read the posts

Lol, no...

I said "can we stop?"

You can feel free to go back to to the top of the thread and check for yourself if you feel the need, but as I have said multiple times over the course of this thread, people keep replying without fully reading, or understanding what I've written, causing arguments like this.

Earlier in the thread somebody asked if I thought he was doing a good job, I said no...

From that, somebody has taken that he instills me with confidence, and another that I hug an effigy of him, it's ridiculous.

If you are not a boris fan, then what do you care what people write about him? It's ridiculous

Another one... Great.

I have openly said, be critical, but hate for hates sake is just pointless and annoying.

If you are going to be critical of Boris, fine, when you've got your points and you make them, that's all good.

When you look at the updates page to see people just posting things like,

stupid cunt Boris ruining all our fun, scumbag.

Or,

Boris is such a tosser, I hope he gets covid again.

They aren't word for word, but that's just a couple more I saw this morning."

The thing is your defence of Johnson is based on updates you are seeing elsewhere rather than discussing what people contributing to the thread are saying...

What a stupid thread. Which MP could have done better, might as well ask which Disney character could have done better or which historical figure could have done better. It doesn't matter, Boris is PM and he has done a terrible job. If you cant see that, maybe you should go for a 60 mile drive and test your eyesight.

"So, I keep seeing people hating on Boris Johnson for his reaction and response to the global pandemic that is covid-19....

Can we stop?

Let's face it, no other british politician could of done any better, and before you say, "well actually, blah blah blah"

A, there is no way to know if others would've done any better.

B, he didn't start the pandemic, cut the man some slack, he is doing his best in a poor situation.

This is not s thread to start political conversation, it's purely a venting opportunity so I can get all these tards bitching about Boris out of my head.

If you have something constructive to add, by all means, be my guest, but if like the majority of the forum, you are going to jab and leave snide remarks, then please, don't."

Oh no, millionaire PM Boris Johnson is getting some silly abuse on a swinging forum that he will never see or care about even if he did.

Why don't you save your concern for the people whose lives his decisions effect?

In reply to everything said since my last post.

1. As I've said before, these aren't on forum posts, they are status updates, if they were forums posts, I'd of never seen them.

2. I started with replying in normal discussion with those replying, until people arrived who needlessly spread hate on this very thread.

3. I didn't start the "who would do better" debate, I even said there's no point in that debate.

4. I don't drive, and have perfect vision, save your snide insults for when you've correctly assessed and understood the thread.

5. Yet another person who actually agreed with my original post... Thank you for reading the whole post before renting.

Trolling for trolling sake is not very nice.

I didnt make the thread to argue who would've done better, I even said it was pointless to have that debate.

I have said previously in this thread that I don't think he has done a good job, but he is PM and we have to deal with that.

Maybe you need your eyes tested if you couldn't see that.

Or brain tested if you couldn't understand it.

Right, that's not an open debate on who's better though is it.

And if you want to get really picky, I didn't say they would do worse did I?

Nope, infact I've stated multiple times, they are ALL full of shit.

Across the board, UK politicians would of done just as bad as eachother.

No one better, no one worse.

No one knows..and I actually agree with you it's a pointless comparison to make.

Which begs the question..what was the point of the thread?

Was it simply a 'get of boris's back ' thread?

Really?

My original post covers that... It was a thread to vent my frustrations at people using fab statuses to just openly spout hate at our PM without giving any reference or backing up their hate with legitimate points in any way.

I asked for constructive discussion, and no snide remarks, which was all good for a short while... Then people arrived with their hatespeech, stupid comparisons and stopped actually reading what I was writing, and just trying to shoot me down for the sake of it.

I'm not here to back the PM, his done a bad job, I'm not denying that.

I'm also not saying don't criticize, infact, I have said be critical, but if you are being critical without having a basis for that criticism, then it just comes across as needless hate.

So, this was originally posted to the virus forum.

I'm also not referencing the forums in the hate, I've specifically said status updates, many times now.

And as for not seeing any here....

Earlier in the thread, Boris was likened to Hitler, Pol pot, and somebody said he was complicit in genocide, which is a ridiculous statement.

Even if it is just yourself Lionel... I hope you can see now, how I'm not here to pick a side or try to shit on anyone's views, I took a shot at trying to mitigate the amount of hate I was seeing floating about for no reason.

And instead had people start trying to put me down because they weren't grasping what I was getting at.

Either way, I ultimately failed so... Eh, what're you gonna do.

It is what it is unfortunately.

No, what I didn't want to hear was senseless hate with no actual points or facts to back it up.

I do not see how that is so hard for people to understand.

It's the difference between,

"I don't like Boris, because of X, Y, Z"

And

"Boris is a wanker, stopping all our fun, why did the NHS even treat him"

I entirely grasped what you were trying to do (by calling people 'tards', let's not forget).

The point I'm making is that complaining about people insulting Johnson in their status updates (yes, even calling him a wanker!) is nothing more than pearl clutching. It doesn't hurt Johnson in any way. All it does is, by your own admission, annoy you. Get over it.

Right, so instead of replying when you saw nothing was to come of it, you doubled down and thought, "hey, maybe I can annoy this person even more!"

Great move.

I'm soooo sorry for using a word that you don't like... Even if it doesn't actually hold any weight.

I'll just hop up onto this cross so you can crucify me for it, but we will all just gloss over the guy who likened Boris to Hitler, Pol pot and Assad...

Because everyone knows that Boris is mass murdering, psychotic dictator, hell bent on genocide.

Remind me, where is this line in the sand that can't be crossed?

Imo, using the word tard a few times is fuck all in comparison.

Good lord, you have been given enough facts...

He went on holiday in February for 2 weeks

He ignored his own scientists advice and shook hands with infectious people

He missed 5 meetings

He failed to sack his chief advisor when he broke the lockdown rules.

He let Cheltenham go ahead

He told people not to go to the pubs but didn't shut them.

He is, only now, taking control of the crisis

There is lots more.....I dunno how much worse you want him to be??

"You can't seriously expect to post that and expect to get no response or snide remarks?

It's like the government giving guidelines on lockdown and people not to meet up; you didn't really have hope that people would listen, did you?

All I was going to contribute was you don't actually know whether any other politician would have handled it better but you answered that in a comment further down.

I don't think he did his best at all. There's a reason why other countries death rates are low and that's because their government took the right action.

I did think I could post it and not get snide remarks, hence why I posted it.

The comment on not replying with snide remarks is to dissuade said individuals, which I believe it did?

I was of the group believing lockdown to be the incorrect choice of action due to the average individual in the UK being far far stupider than that of other countries, it only works if everyone follows, once it was shown that people weren't following, it should of been rescinded, but I understand why it wasn't, what with that being a metaphorical bullet in the head of his career in the eyes of the media.

You think Boris knowingly chose a course of action that was non optimal in his eyes?

Don't be silly, he did the best he could do with the options given to him.

The fact that like 75% of the country consists of halfwit tards is not his fault."

Surely he is meant to do what is best for the people and the country... Not his "career"? He is letting people crack on with his herd immunity program and placating some, after the Cummings balls up... He doesn't give a fuck about you or anyone else, apart from him n his mates
