Simple Question

[weecalf]

Yes or no Is Boris more concerned with keeping his party happy that he is about the people of this country ?

[DTCwordfan]

It's finding a balance - bet there's refinement of the zones this week - says he living in a Tier 1 zone....mind you, it's only the I of Wight and the Isles of Scilly that we can visit and that's silly.

[emmie]

i believe he is trying though not always succeeding in doing his best for the country.
dtc not sure what your post means to be fair

[gulliver1]

YES,

[emmie]

you didn't answer the question ^^

“ it's only the I of Wight and the Isles of Scilly that we can visit and that's silly”

It might be scilly but it’s only wight

[emmie]

still don't get Dtc post, no more than your ick

[emmie]

wrong category perhaps..

[pastafreak]

DTC is in Cornwall...tier 1, as are the isles of Scilly and Wight.

[Zacs-Master]

It’s basically the same thing. If he keeps his MPs happy, their constituents will be happy.

[emmie]

pasta i know that, but still don't know why he didn't answer a simple question.

[jno]

he wants to be loved and admired, so he tries very hard to keep the people happy, even if this means making wildly optimistic predictions about test and trace or other world beating advances (or downright fibs).

[emmie]

surely he is only going on the scientists predictions after all he is not an expert on this virus.

[pastafreak]

I thought he did emmie...

[emmie]

then i am missing something pasta

[weecalf]

He is doing his best Ok but if his best is not good enough then should not be putting the people first and admitting it. This is about people dying not a popularity game .

[emmie]

that would be the virus, how is boris or anyone for that matter supposed to stop it, no where in the world is controlling it currently, hopefully that will come when a adequate vacine is found

[weecalf]

Ok yes but it’s important that people have confidence in those who are dealing with it on their behalf . Have people got that confidence in Boris ?

[jno]

plenty of countries are controlling it quite well

It's no good saying nobody knows what to do: in the deaths-per-head, UK is currently seventh worst in the world, even worse than the USA (that may change). That's appalling, however you spin it.

Poor old Boris is getting the familiar black prime ministerial rings under his eyes.
Trying to produce a balance - not easy, a lot on his plate.
I think he is trying his best.

@ Pasta, 2235, and there was me thinking the Isle of Wight was off the coast of Hampshire.
