Who'd Be The Pm Right?

Lorries backed up at Dover as the rest of Europe close their borders to us
A mutant infection adding to a deadly pandemic
And time running out for Brexit talks

Good luck Boris , no other PM in peace time has dealt with anything so bad

[Khandro]

With Cummings gone he's now under orders from his live-in girl friend, & a new updated version of 'Yes Prime Minister' is called for.
Anthony Jay (r.i.p.) would have had a great time with this farce.

Hi Bobbs and all. The answer would be me, we need a bigger house and No. 10 would really suit us.

On a more serious note , the current situation is awful. Just back from Morrisons, thought I would go just the once when it might be quiet, wrong.
Still not sure about Xmas day. Us and wifes family both in tier3.

I think the advice/rule/law is that a visit is okay for a short time.

a 24 hour visit seems short enough,lol.

khandro and you know this how?

Macron has done the right thing in the face of the pandemic. I don't see how any pro-lockdown people can argue or moan about it. Lots of users on this website keep quoting the measures taken by other countries to try and stop the spread. Well, this another measure, taken by another country. If you're fully in favour of lockdown, what's not to like?

The mutant is in Denmark and there are suppositions that it was the Danish mink that started the ball rolling.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Yes Bobbi but its basically his and his Governments doing -they have been far too dithery with regards to lockdowns and are now paying the price. That, and the UK's seeming lack of self-control and huge sense of entitlement.

[emmie]

other countries are having the same problems as UK. Are all their citizens obeying all the rules i wonder.

[emmie]

sense of entitlement to what.

[Apc2604]

And I seriously doubt that any other government would have dealt any better with this terrible year. (Especially one with Keir Starmer in charge).

[10ClarionSt]

Bojo the Clown is not a leader. I've said it enough. There was a good article on the front page of The Sunday Times about him yesterday, basically saying he hasn't got a clue.

The response on here to that statement will be the usual "Well what would you do then?" To which I say, "what would YOU do"

[AuntPollyGrey]

Emmie: Sense of entitlement to do what they want despite the rules. And UK is now one of the worse countries in the world for daily new cases of Covid, fuelled by this mutation. A strong leader is needed in a crisis -not a bumbling fool who seems to want to keep on the good side of everyone instead of being strict.

[Apc2604]

Even the European countries that did better in the first wave are now in difficulty. The reason they did better is that the population were used to obeying rules and police with a different attitude and armed to boot. Thank goodness though that our British police are not like that. What a dreadful year!!

[bobbinwales]

Easy 10clarinst, pretty much what we're doing but stricter as its nothing like lockdown
Any update on your hushed up policeman shooting that Bojo The Clown as covered up??

[Apc2604]

And it seems to be that if this country has done badly, then we can blame all the idiots that do their own thing and carry on as normal regardless of Covid.

I wouldn't want the job either but Boris's "credit" is fast running out.He first told us he had an "oven ready" deal for Brexit which is now tumbling around our ears,we had the Cummings issue about which he did nothing other than give him a huge pay rise now we have the Christmas is cancelled issue.Surely anyone worth his salt would never,given the number of cases of the virus,ever allowed a five day amnesty over Christmas and even up to as late as Wednesday saying it was still to happen.He has now been bounced by the two Ronnies of doom and gloom and others including the discredited Ferguson to cut it down to one day.To quote Leo Amery in his remark to Chamberlain"In the name of God go."In conclusion I believed in him just twelve months ago,how wrong I was.

[emmie]

FGS bobbin Boris et al can dictate all they like, make it as strict as you like,whatever that means, some are going to jump the fence - one poster said that two coachloads of people arrived in Herefordshire from Wales looking for accomodation and food. They had been turned away, not sure why they went there in the first place but there you are

[emmie]

you could have a different leader and my guess we would still be in this predictament

[ichkeria]

I’d have thought by now fuming about people breaking rules should be exposed for the nonsense it is. You can’t stop the thing spreading unless you lock everyone indoors until it had nowhere to do. And even that probably wouldn’t be enough.
There have probably been some irresponsible people but that really misses the bigger picture, especially now, which suggests that a lockdown would have to be really really drastic to be effective at least it slowing things a bit for a while

[grumpy01]

Wouldn't you want to get out of Wales Emmie with Mark Drakeford as leader.Heaven help the Welsh if he gets re-elected in the Spring.

[emmie]

which is what i have been saying all along, that some will buck the system - you simply cannot police it, not with police,army in tow.
