"Refering to recent protests it seems a bit ironic for Boris Johnson the say that he wants to "change the narrative" on race given the comments he once made in one of his many newspaper articles where he called black people "flag waving picanninies" and mentioned "watermelon smiles". I'm not saying Johnson is racist, I don't believe he is, but I do think he is elitist and very, very elastic with the truth. " I believe he is. | |||

"I believe he is. " Maybe I am being charitable in saying I don't think he is racist but I think it's more a case of him being very clever and considering others that are not in his orbit to be beneath him. I must admit it is amusing to see him floundering a bit now that there is someone very capable opposite him during PMQ's | |||

"I am in two minds about this kind of thing. One side says people in thy is position just pander to the masses in light of public opinion to maintain the position of power. Another side of me says that it’s never too late for someone to acknowledge their incorrect feelings/thoughts/deeds from the past and try to be a better person. My cynical side in this case says it’s probably the former but I hope it’s the latter" He has an awful lot of acknowledging to do... | |||

"He has an awful lot of acknowledging to do..." Agreed. And that is the one thing to tends to help you distinguish between the two. If someone steps up and acknowledges their own past and apologies saying they no longer believe those things that’s a good start. The other type tends to act like their past didn’t exist | |||

"Johnson seems to think shopping will sort it out. Just when the questions are getting too challenging for him and the public are awakening to the injustice perpetrated through our current political, educational, health and social systems, he is trying to get us back in our consumer box and get us to go shopping. How fucking patronising and short-sighted he is." Quite. I'm hoping more people have thought about their place in society and society as groups of people. | |||

However I am genuinely concerned that people have not realised and will not realise. When you see queries outside Starbucks fire hours you realise how much people are clamouring to return to how things were, rather then seeking change Disparities in wealth and divisions in general will continue to grow I fear. But like you say, we can go to the shops so all is good in the world... | |||

"Of course....Sir K....another man of the people " Well his mother was a nurse and his father a toolmaker, he went to a state aided grammar school then university and practiced as a human rights lawyer, his knighthood was for services to the justice system as DPP not for making himself filthy rich or being a great entertainer. Surely coming from a working class family and making something of yourself through study and hard work does not disbar someone from representing the working class. The title "Sir" is not an uncommon title. | |||

"Can we just all get a sense of perspective for a moment . Since becoming PM Boris has had the B word shambles out , then a worldwide pandemic , then the birth of his child , then getting sick himself, clearly has been permanently knackered every day and went back to work to early as he was needed , now has to deal with protests and riots everywhere . None of which has been his fault. I wouldn't want the job at the moment . Is he perfect, No . Has he made mistakes, Yes . But no other PM has had to deal with this shit , give him a chance . Btw I'm neither a Labour or a Tory fan I dont particularly care for politics much at all but I do think a sense of perspective is needed at times . Just my opinion " I have plenty of perspective. He and his party have caused and fumbled the B word repeatedly and are determined to drive us off the economic cliff. They threw their homework in the mud and get sympathy for it. Pandemic, yeah it's tough. But I hold politicians to the same standards as other politicians. Why does Boris et al get a pass? He's got experts, he's got resources, and it's fuck up after lie after fucking off not doing his job after fuck up after covering up for his mates. He shook hands with Covid patients how fucking stupid is he?! This sort of "doing his best" is appropriate for a small child whose drawing of you looks like a constipated frog. Not a world leader. | |||

Just my opinion " I would suggest that's a particularly favourable perspective to adopt! I know he didn't have control over most things, but we have been crying out for strong leadership and I believe he has shown himself to be wanting in quite scary ways. I don't like being lied to by anyone and I don't think I am totally stupid (all the time). The DC situation just showed the contempt within which they hold the general public. Whatever your ideology, I just think there has to be a level of honesty or accountability set. | |||

It's almost like it's acceptable or even cute because he's posh. He's an adult like the rest of us and is well past the point where any of us would have been sacked in our regular jobs. | |||

"The Government thought until mid March they could use herd immunity to get the UK through. Instead of locking down until they were forced to by over 200 scientists writing a letter highlighting just how dangerous and reckless that would be. Find a Rory Stewart interview particularly one he gave to CNN in early March about what needed to be done and how the horrified he was the UK Government were not doing so. The Italian PM messaged European leaders to warn them about the situation and Boris ignored the advice. Continued to allow people into the country unscreened from virus hot spots such as Madrid for a Champions League match with Liverpool. That has since been quoted to have caused a high number of infections. Told people not to go to bars and restaurants and resisted closing them for over a week, a decision that will have cost lives. Abandoned Testing in early March except for hospital admissions, when countries such as Germany pushed a testing and tracing from day one. Three months in we still don't have his "world beating" system. His government published advice saying there wasn't a risk to care homes which has proved deadly with people discharged out of hospital to free up beds who then spread the virus in care homes a long with traveling care workers who unknowingly spread the virus. To put how horrific this is over 1 in 10 of all English Care Home residents have died from the virus already. More than 10 percent. Refused to sack his advisor for breaking lockdown rules, making a mockery of everyone who stuck to them at great sacrifice. Tried to force pupils back to school too early and may have opened shops too early as well. Valuing money over people's health. The UK has refused to publish a daily recovered rate and active case numbers throughout when next to every country so far has done so. They have refused for over 3 weeks to publish the number of people they have tested each day, instead just saying how many tests. The recommendations part of a report into why the BAME people are at greater risk from the virus had to be leaked to force the Government to then issue a publication date. The report cited racism as a factor. We have over 41,000 people dead, over 50,000 deaths where Covid 19 is mentioned on the certificates and over 60,000 excess deaths when compared to the last 5 years. This is horrific and undefendable on all accounts, I don't care which way you voted or if you were leave or remain, this is a national disgrace. If anyone of us caused 1 death at work even by accident we would be charged with incompetece, negligence and face a manslaughter trial, face prison and have a hard time ever finding a job again upon release. Boris has been allowed to fail upwards and never been held accountable for his actions time and time again and this is the guy running the country. " Excellent post | |||
