Williamson seems hell bent on getting schools open whether or not it makes any sense, seemingly because other countries are doing it. Not willing to play that game Gavin

Its always good to see a man that was sacked from his last ministerial post for sheer, unfathomable incompetence being responsible for what it will probably be the biggest test of whether we get through this virus without killing half a million people.

Last I saw was the Mail reporting that evil unions are denying us the chance to be heroes.

The unions are just doing their job. Shame that the government isn’t.

It's almost like the right wing press and their puppet masters are grateful for a free swipe

I see there’s a petition to get Piers Morgan sacked from GMB. The gammon heads darling is now public enemy No.1. What a bunch of snowflakes.

Good he’s a fucking prick, never has anything positive to say just negative all the time, like some on here....

Although you’re right I’m guessing we came to that decision for different reasons and this is a recent realisation for you.

You think not wanting to go back to normal right now means we want lockdown forever-can't be that thick surely

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Guys, we can make the virus end tomorrow if we’re all just really, really positive about it and don’t ever even think about criticising the government.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Don’t tell anyone but I’ve actually been there. Worlds worst fairground. Fantasy island.

Which is the best then, just asking for a friend?

I am curious though. How do you put a positive spin on thousands of avoidable deaths in nursing homes for instance?

Just ignore them obvs

Why do you always have to be positive? It's not negative to point out that when things are going wrong.

This you must be positive blitz spirit bollovks must end

Churchill didn't lie about the real state of play either

A fucking prick who up til now has largely supported the message of the Tories and thought Corbyn was useless. But now he's actually doing something close to what he's supposed to do (with a fair amount of self-promotion added in it must be said) you want him sacked because he's not supportive of Boris Laaadd!

He's got plenty more stuff that is worth sacking him for over the years than what he's been saying recently.

Learn the difference between negativity and critical analysis.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

"OMG you want that to happen to score internet points and because you loooooove labour and corbyn"

That will be seen within the next couple of weeks.

I'm not sure I've ever wanted to be wrong more in my life because if I am thousands of people will still be alive and that is worth as much humble pie as I can shove down my gob.

Well you'd explain that all the other European countries had around 50% infection in homes and that you'd managed to keep It out of 65% of homes .

Gyms are opening here this month now as well, from 3rd June things will be pretty much normal apart from social distancing in public and masks etc.

Johnson won't be sticking around long if the polls keep heading in this direction.

 

[Brylowes]

It's quite scary to be honest. As NW pointed out earlier politics has now become so.partisan it's frightening and people aren't bothered about seeing politicians held to account.

It’s the Brexit effect again, if you were to go back in time a mere 5 Years most of these people
wouldn’t have had the slightest interest in politics ‘and even less understanding of it.

They were persuaded ‘something they’d never really paid much attention to ‘or considered
remotely important was actually the very reason for everything that was wrong in their life.
They turned out in their millions to cast their vote (a novelty for most) and against all odds
they won, only to then find they would probably still be denied the victory they craved.

Boris promised them he would “Get Brexit Done” and “Take Back Control” and despite all the
opposition he delivered (in their eyes ) the Torys can do no wrong with him at the helm.

But Grenners said the people of the uk support the governments handling of the pandemic

They were going to die soon anyway is pretty much the point

 

[Grendel]

Why won’t he? It’s totally irrelevant going forward to the next election

 

[Grendel]

Cheerful on Marr show with WHO scientist suggesting society may have to live with the virus for 5 years.

 

[Sick Boy]

Is it right that public approval of the strategy has fallen again?

 

[Ian1779]

I think he’s more referring to people within his own party making moves - not the electorate.

 

[skybluetony176]

The only thing dropping quicker than his approval ratings is recorded cases of people saying would you rather live in Italy.

 

[Grendel]

His rating on one poll just before the election was 10 points lower than this now. Some of Thatchers were dire

Certainly some of his loyal papers seem to be turning on him by painting a picture Boris Johnson and UK's most senior civil servant Sir Mark Sedwill clash over route out of lockdown | Daily Mail Online

It won’t be us that need convincing will it.
