Perfect timing for Johnson!
He can go into hiding, just as the 'negotiations with the EU are into the final 5 days. So whatever the outcome and when the proverbial s**t hits the fan, he'll be able to claim that "it wasn't me".

Or maybe he just doesn't know what to do, given that his puppet master Cummings isn't there now to tell him through the earpiece what to say?
Or perhaps this 'ruling the country' isn't quite the jolly he expected?

Poor Boris. I will say an extra prayer for him, his girlfriend, his dog ....

or alternatively, I might just keep remembering how many thousands of people in this country died, how many families lost a loved one and how many families are now struggling to survive on account of Johnson and his government having failed this country on every step of dealing with this pandemic.

And of course no one would've died if you were in charge because your infallible, we all make mistakes in life, everyone, so if we're not sure what the best options, we listen to the advisers, if they get it wrong then blame them.

Blimey!
Johnson has been craving the top job, to be the leader and protector of all of us!
He has hired 100+ special advisers at great cost to us tax payers .....

And you still believe that his failings are really nothing more than an individual having a bit of a slip up?

No, as I said no one apart from yourself is perfect. We all make mistakes, drop bollock or some such thing along the line of life but blaming one man is a bit much

THAT one man fooled the idiots and had them hook, line & sinker! Sorry that you were one of Johnson's catch.

Personally, I expect more from the PM of my country

If it hadn't been announced that Johnson had to spend 14 days self isolating then I wonder if anyone would have noticed. In the last few months he's just come across as a blagger. It's not helped by the fact that the current cabinet are woefully poor.

Remember that anyone with half a brain realises that no EU deal will be disastrous. People with full brains, realise that leaving the EU anyway is pretty stupid. After all the Loyalty Tory bloodbaths, BoJo now has all no-brainers in his cabinet. You gets what you vote for.

The buck stops with the man at the top.

So you're basically happy for anything to happen because you'll just shrug your shoulders and say 'we all make mistakes'? :clown I imagine you think 'hes trying his best' too, so should be immune from criticism.

Hasn't he already played this card? You'd imagine he'd be immune after actually contracting the bug himself (what's that? - he bloody well did, you know, it was all over the papers and everything).

Not necessarily happy, lots of things happen some right some wrong. Just because I disagree with you doesn't warrant you making me out to be a clown
If you think he's not trying his best then surely you should warrant that description of a clown.
In your eyes shoot the man at the top at every mistake will soon bring you in the firing line, so then you're the man in our sights, would you still think shoot the guy because of a mistake, I repeat we all make mistakes, and learn from them, in your book we would never learn you you dump them all

The majority on here have been wanting him to go in to isolation for months.

Funny that, because in some strange way, this reminds me of the current Orient setup.

The only abilities he has is to tell endless lies and screw everything up from personal relationships to managing the battle against Covid.
