He really should’ve acted quicker and now we’re facing the consequences of it, but I’m sure he won’t be too upset considering the disabled and pensioners are the most likely to die from it, those that get a pension/disability benefits.

Going on Holly and Phil talking about letting it run through the country, then wonders why people are confused.

Cummings, his chief advisor, today quoted in the Sunday Times (tory establishment) talking aout how he was willing to sacrifice old people for the economy.

Amazing what a posh accent and a tv pedestal does to the population.

That has been denied by Downing Street so who to believe a newspaper or a political correspondent depends on your political leaning I suppose.

such a disgusting thing to say, half the people that voted for him this time round were working Northerners

Although I truly hope he makes the right moves and ensures more people’s safety.

The same Boris who just today announced a major coronavirus policy from behind a paywall in The Times? That Boris?

[Liam-]

‘People are going to die no matter what we do, it’s unavoidable!’
‘Why aren’t people listening to our advice about stopping people dying? I’m confused’

There has been no direct, straight action taken, he’s swayed every step of the way, he needs to lead from the front, not just leave it up to people’s discretion, thousands of lives are at stake and frankly, it seems like he couldn’t care less

i will support him and follow the advice given, if i think it's for the best. I don't offer a blanket support though. We can all make judgements from our arm chairs about what is right, what is wrong and if it was done in a timely manner etc. I think the strategy they are trying is to get the country on board with the choices rather than hammering them into submission, because that just won't work. For example, people want a lock down now ... they wouldn't have been so keen on that 2 weeks ago ... timing is critical in terms of effect and uptake

The biggest flag to me today was the medical officer preparing people for the fact that we are going to have a similar situation to italy, many are going to die. The effects on mental health at this point shouldn't be underestimated. The virus itself is but one aspect of the overall problem

exactly, if they had locked down, people would have whined that they would have done it themselves and weren't given the opportunity, at least know we see at first hand how stupid people are, and it does look like they think if they are in the 'fresh air' that's fine and dandy

[Holly Christmas]

I think he does care. He has looked worried and harried all week. He is a human being at the end of the day. Much rather have him than Theresa May for example.

Of course he cares Kate, afterall he is not immune from it or his pregnant girlfriend and look how they have pulled out all the stops,people that don't like him will never give him any credit.

I'm not cheerleading for him to fail, I've just seen the way this has been handled. We're in for a rude awakening in this country in a few weeks time. I have loved ones that rely on getting this right. I couldn't give a sh1t about him personally, only what his actions could potentially cost us, and more selfishly, me.

But isn't it OUR actions putting people at risk,some will just NOT follow the advice as some are just ignorant morons.

Selfish ignorant morons.

I don't trust the Tories and I never will. They've done good by guaranteeing people's wages but things wouldn't have gotten this bad if they acted earlier and Boris' callous approach of letting people die was probably one of the grossest political decisions I've seen in my lifetime.

Safeguarding people's finances was a good start but I wouldn't attribute it to Boris, he seems to have some good people telling him what to do, at least.

Tories often like to avoid thinking about their mistakes by diverting attention to a hypothetical situation involving Corbyn. He lost and is irrelevant, you're gonna need another diversion from your mistakes because you can't just keep blaming Corbyn.

You got what you wanted, shoulder the responsibility for it.

You claim to have voted for SNP which makes little sense because you're as Tory as it gets and SNP is pretty much Scotland's anti-Tory party. Either you're lying about voting for SNP or you're pretending to hold Tory views because you want to oppose people on the forum and if this was a mostly Tory forum, you'd present yourself as a hardcore Labour supporter instead.

whatever makes you feel better i guess, it must be difficult for those who who are extreme on the left to support a moderate party who are currently doing things for the best of the UK and not for political points?

but that is where we are and our government needs ALL our support in this crisis
