Boris Off On Holiday While . .. .

[Canary42]

. . . our beloved country struggles to cope with the results of his incompetence.

[Mozz71]

I don't like Boris much, and I like his party even less but, why shouldn't someone go on holiday. That's why they have a deputy Prime Minister.

[Mozz71]

Tora - //"This sort of shambles doesn't occur under strong PMs like Thatcher or Blair " - you are comparing St Tony with TGL? You should take up comedy jno!//

I can only think of one other world leader comparable to Thatcher, but I won't mention them. Godwin's Law and all.

[ToraToraTora]

that does you no good at all mozz even with your leftist stance you must see how TGL saved this country from communism.

[ToraToraTora]

in the late 70s most, even the Tories in her cabinet, thought that the rot could not be stopped that all they could do was manage a slide into a Soviet Bloc outpost. She showed us that we could save ourselves, smash the communist and union firebrands into dust. Drag the country up by the scruff of the neck. Yes the medicine was harsh but the patient needed it. She did not turn away from the task and finally helped bring down the Soviet union in little over a decade. Have your sneering anti Britishness if you must but she saved even you that hate her for it. Forgive them Maggie for they know not what they do.

I detested Mrs Thatcher - and then I grew up.

17:50, Mozz you should be ashamed of yourself, if you want to compare someone to Mr H then I suggest you look a a bit closer to home at CCC.

[Mozz71]

Tora - //Have your sneering anti Britishness if you must but she saved even you that hate her for it.//

Oh look he's rolling out the usual, tired old "anti-British" BS again. Put a sock in it Tora, to dislike a former PM isn't anti-British, it's just my opinion. You using the same old description for anybody who disagrees with you just shows the lack of originality in your arguments.

[Mozz71]

I did say that was intended as a joke Tora, but don't be afraid to cherry pick at things in order to maximise your disgust. And who the hell is CCC?

We have that in common Naomi ;0)

mozz: "I did say that was intended as a joke Tora, but don't be afraid to cherry pick at things in order to maximise your disgust." - what have I cheery picked?
"To dislike a former PM isn't anti-British, it's just my opinion." - no problem with that but comparing her with the Nazis is a bit strong. Hate her if you must but I hope that under the waves of lefty indoctrination there is a grudging respect for her achievements. St Tony was a great admirer you know.

// I detested Mrs Thatcher - and then I grew up.//
I am not sure about that - ter daah !

Holidays have been fatal to those that so wisely govern us. - Callaghan came back to "Crisis what crisis?" - Churchill didnt die in Marrakesh, Kinnock fell over in the surf ..... to say nothing about Raabo

[Mozz71]

Well, "St Tony" wasn't someone I voted for either after the first win. I still believe he should be treated as a war criminal following the unlawful attack on Iraq. A fine person to be compared to Maggie.

PP, feigning jokes doesn’t wash. Buzz off.

[Gromit]

A damning report by MPs was published today. It found:

// Britain’s early handling of the coronavirus pandemic was one of the worst public health failures in UK history //

And the Prime Minister is on a beach somewhere avoiding all the flack. The timing of Boris’ holiday is now explained.

[naomi24]

Gromit, Scooted out of the country to avoid the outcome of a report. Do get real … please!

Incidentally, Boris and co are on holiday with the Goldsmith family at their villa - so it hasn’t been lent to them at all.
