More embarrassing than musing in front of the world's media about injecting disinfectant to get rid of covid?

"Politician in photo opportunity SHOCK"
I mean... I agree to an extent that he's there in person for the benefit of the press and not because he's an expert box packer but... it's good for stuff like this to be in the press and they need a picture to illustrate. The good press that comes with it is positive both for his image AND for what they are doing, it's quid pro quo, he's not "slowing anything down" to any great extent that isn't heavily outweighed by the positive exposure (for both parties) so what's the problem? |

...he was urging people to help out in any way they could and that always carries more weight if seen helping, himself...it may have been a photo opportunity but it was highlighting a positive aspect of essential community thoughtfulness in the care of others...and the US media attention has been so negative and controversial of late, it’s surely important to show that nation of great people ...

...I mean, it people can get so ‘ughhhh’ about things like this when the important thing is, if it inspires/sparks people to look around their communities at what they can also do and to help ...

He is never going to please everyone, for example, i wasn't overly impressed at him getting emotional during his speech, but others will think thats a good thing and a refreshing change from Trump
I think he deserves at least 6-12 months to see how he is doing before anyone gets too harsh toward him. Whatever he does, it will never be as bad as the last 4 years of a Trump administration |

You don't have to bit I find it strange that you feel that someone aiding the preparation of food parcels is genuinely embarrassing during a pandemic (albeit for a photo opportunity) but I do not remember similar outrage at Trump. Weird, that's all and as this is a forum to add your thoughts on a thread, I added mine. I didn't realise that in this thread you had to only comment one thing. My bad

But that's the same for any Politician, celeb or Royal. You really think Boris would have been on a farm, in a covid vaccine centre etc etc if it wasn't for the photo op? It highlights the work these places are doing, why should he feel shame for that?

Paying a visit to these places and highlighting what they are doing is great...but when he or any other politician/Royal start rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in for 2 minutes almost mocks the hard work they are doing...and its all for the sake of boosting their profile. Visit and highlight...but leave the work to the real workers who work at it day and night. |
