Boris Johnson thought old people should accept Covid fate, inquiry told​

Boris Johnson agreed with some Tory MPs who thought Covid was "nature's way of dealing with old people", the inquiry into the pandemic has been told.

The allegation comes from diary entries by former chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
Meanwhile, ex-adviser Dominic Cummings told the inquiry the government had no plan and was in "complete chaos".
The inquiry was also shown offensive messages sent by Mr Cummings about cabinet ministers and top officials.

Looks like Nosey's in for a fitful nights sleep. He'll be apoplectic by morning!

Pah, some brandy and off to sweet slumber.

As to the morning, well leave that to the morning.

No alcohol for this chicken. Fannying about on (flat) roof joists in the morning. I will sleep like a baby.

Boris Johnson prioritised keeping his popularity with the right wing media over actual evidence at the cost of thousands of lives.

This is not defensible no matter how much of a Tory supporter you are.

 

[Roy Bloom]

Lying scum.

And it's taken an enquiry to arrive at such a decision?
It was obvious to many 'plebs' way before he was PM.

All these covid scientists re-writing history in their diaries as, or before, it happened. One of them seeming to claim his role was to advocate for lockdown not to act as a scientist, in a shameful attempt to deflect responsibility. But Borris emerges as someone who kept changing his mind, unable to make it up, devoid of any objectivity or morality except how to cling on to power. Like Brexhit really, yet so many people saw, and see, him as a man of unshakeable vision.

I heard a quote from someone who was quite close to him - professionally, for some years - his biographer, ghost writer, something like that.
About Bozza's opportunistic mentality:

"Boris would see a crowd running. So he'd jump in front and shout" Follow me! "'

A succinct appraisal of the man

 

[ellal]

Shock horror...

If borisconi's remarks regarding the oldies is correct then I agree!

Should have kept the schools open and the economy running instead...

Sad that we had the 'virus', but given that we have been told it was inevitable it's just a shame that it didn't happen in 2015

 

[securespark]

I see what you did there...

 

[Roy Bloom]

And many believed his lies about Brexit.

 

[blup]

Would the brexhit outcome have been different if he had been a remainer?

Boris's skillset has been described as 'too optimistic'.
Which meant that Covid was the wrong crisis for that skillset????

And he was the 'go to' person to lead a far more complex problem like Brexit.

God help us and save us from misguided politicians, and their gullible supporters.

Undoubtedly.
'Would it have been successful' may be a more pertinent question.
Even 'could it have been successful'?
