    A kind and compassionate society we clearly are not.

    Obviously not a fan of his but wouldn't wish this virus on anyone so hope he pulls through.

    Maybe the change of perspective could do him some good.

    Obviously?!? What’s wrong with being a fan of Boris?

    People who call Jeremy Corbyn a Communist don't know the meaning of the word. They're just spamming that association, trying to make it stick.

    I hope his critics would have the class to put their politics aside and wish him well if it were he who contracted COVID-19, just as Corbyn himself has extended his well wishes toward Johnson tonight.

    I do

    Ex Youth Wing of the Workers Party , 1980s.

    Corbyn and his sort were hardcore Commies back then. And were genuine enemies of the Workers Party/OIRA ( cos we wanted a peace treaty since the 70s).

    It isn’t luck you’re not in charge of his care. You wouldn’t make it to be in that position as a doctor because you’d be attitudinally unsuited to make those sorts of decisions if you espoused those attitudes.

    This sort of thing is spotted during the years of training and people of that ilk find their path upward blocked at a certain point and get diverted into a field where that view won’t harm patients.

    Absolutely, I wouldn't trust myself to make those decisions with impartiality. I wouldn't seek to pursue this career. In the face of this pandemic I am a coward in the highest order.

    I can't lie to myself. Watching somebody whose actions are directly responsible for increased deaths struggle with the very virus they downplayed for the sake of the economy feels very much like chickens coming home to roost. That said, I wouldn't wish the fate of those with this virus on my worst enemy. Suffocating on one's own sputum is not a dignified or preferable death, nobody deserves it.

    It’s all coming out now. The nastiness and the bitterness. A bit of a crisis was all it took. It’s about 4 weeks since we had #bekind. Load of bollox.

    Pep Gaurdiolas mother has died of it in Spain. If money or influence or public opinion could save you then she surely would have lived.

    Money can't take 40yrs off you though.

    Yes, I'm sure that if the Queen came down with this, she'd have to lie on a trolley in a public hospital until they found a bed for her. :rolleyes:

    So when you said 'every bit of help that current medical technology allows' you were talking about hospital trolleys?

    It would be a huge blow for the UK to lose the PM to this virus. I think he has shown himself to be a quite capable and competent leader even though I fundamentally disagree with his politics, Brexit in particular

    Herd immunity.

    Cheltenham went ahead.

    Delayed the lockdown.

    Completely avoided using EU medical advice as it might make Mr. Brexit look weak.

    Never wanted to be on a similar process to EU countries, wanted to do it the British way to show everybody that the EU was an irrelevance.

    Nothing competent about it.

    I am no fan of Boris politically at all. But I find it very upsetting to think of him seriously ill with this virus. I sincerely hope he will recover. As a person he in no way deserves to suffer regardless of his political choices, and as a country I think the UK needs him to be ok right now no matter what side of things people fall on. His behaviour and boasting of shaking hands with coronavirus patients was very foolish, but this is a very harsh penalty for him and his family. He can be criticised for his actions while still sincerely wishing him a speedy recovery.

    Yeah, because the Official IRA just disappeared after 1972.

    Beats me too. I’m from a Republican background , but I admire Boris’s love for his country. He never knocks the U.K. and is always upbeat about it. That’s a form of nationalism I can respect, being an Irish nationalist myself.

    But he actually is a communist. And so was his finance minister John MacDonald.


    You know so much about the Labour Party but can't get John McDonnell's name right?

    We see it everyday in social media.

    People literally wishing death on out politicians.

    Who’s minding the UK thread while your over here repeating yourself over and over or are you just going to copy and paste between the two threads?

    Go back a little bit further and you'll find that several members of Tony Blair's cabinet (John Reid, Peter Mandelson, Charles Clarke, Stephen Byers, Alan Milburn) were actual communists. Corbyn, on the other hand, has never been anything other than a democratic socialist.

    Hyperbole surely?

    You don't know him, have you been getting very upset over all the people infected or just this famous person?

    Just this virus or all tragedies that occur globally?

    Im surprised he is in St Thomas's hospital, I thought the PM of the UK would be in a private hospital not a public hospital , Ive been in there myself when I lived in London, reminded me something like St James' hospital here in Dublin.

    I know its only across the bridge from Parliament.

    Private hospitals are not taking covid

    I'd say that c*nt Kay Burley is beating a path to the door of the hospital now.
    She won't wash for a week again to see Boris carried out in a coffin.

    He would not be in icu for that. It's readily available at each bed on the wards

    One "news" outlet already reporting his death!

    https://www.thewhitehouseinsider.com/2020/04/boris-johnson-becomes-first-world.html?m=1

    I wondered for a second could it be real.....then I had a look at the rest of the website! :rolleyes:

    That's a positive. If he was critical he'd be on a ventilator

    You're embarrassing yourself with all that tongue-work. You know the virus is transferable via fecal matter?

    The children won scholarships to public schools. If you knew anything about the Johnson family then you would know that. Did you think that only rich children go to boarding school or top universities? Is your entire knowledge of this based on an Enid Blyton book you read when you were 9?
    You seem surprised that not everyone agrees with you about this.
    That’s the thing about boards. If you want to be in a lefty echo chamber then stay on Twitter where you can block anyone who doesn’t think like you. It won’t work for you here.
    Did you read that in the Daily Mail? What did you think of the queen's speech, I thought it was SIMPLY FABULOUS.

    Kings Scholarships are typically given to students based on their family name and influence. What on earth do you have to gain by spending all this time defending them? Would you prefer that this was just an echo chamber of your design where everyone is falling over themselves to say how great rich people are?
