O/T Prince Charles Tests Positive

Okay...have it your own way.
In any other situation you’d readily concede that our achievements or failures would have to stand comparison with other countries...but heh ho...apparently not this one.

You asked ‘who would have handled things differently’...not ‘who from the current cabinet would have performed better’. It’s not a leadership contest and the point is...are we making the right decisions?

My question was...when Johnson made his brief video appearance yesterday he said...’the key to this...as I’ve been saying for months...is testing’.

My contention is that he was blatantly lying...he has not been saying anything of the sort for months. You said you ‘didn't care’. My question was, ‘was he lying’? Y/N. It’s not rocket science and it’s not a ‘trap’.

OK, well since I did not see his video appearance or any previous ones on the subject I cannot really say, but, given my previous assertion, and assuming the fact that his lips did move, I will stick with my earlier "yes". And I will also stick with my "dont care if he was" response, becuse if he was just trying to cover his arse, then way more astute observers than I can take him to task. But in the overall scheme of things, given the severity of the issues we face, I genuinely don't care if he was trying to rewrite history. Its what happens today and tomorrow that matter, you cant change the past: "Back to the Future" is a film, not real life.

Same way with Blair and "Weapons of Mass Destruction". He lied, we went to war. Its over now and you cant uninvent it. His past finally caught up with him, BoJo's will too I imagine. But honestly, I really dont care because there is nothing we can do about it, and we cant suddenly go back and remake policy

I'm not entirely sure becoming a multi millionaire swanning around doing what the **** he likes and saying what he likes is an example of the past catching up with him!

And if your talking about reputation, thats clearly not an issue in the circles he moves in.

Not certain what point your making about the here and now, because its the incompetence of the government that is worrying and as for the future, can you really see the usual suspects, i.e. us and the general populace not being the ones to pay the heaviest cost for whats going on? Doubt Johnson will suffer financially in any way and after all its not his money thats being used to prop up the country.

But clearly the "magic" of Johnson changes the perceptions of many people, instead of a bumbling fool making vague unrealistic statements and bumbling around, you and others see a born leader who we can trust.

Time for that age old defence tactic of putting ones head between one knees and kissing ones ass goodbye!
