Not really, GP.
Obviously I think he’s an incompetent buffoon but he is, allegedly, our leader.
I honestly didn’t think he’d taken paternity leave and wondered whether he’s had some sort of health setback or was still reeling at the realisation that he’s been described by his doctors as overweight (shocker).
IF he actually is on paternity leave at a time of such extreme national crisis then I think it’s an outrage that should dispel any last lingering doubts regarding his hopeless unsuitability for the role of PM.
The country needs leadership like never before and although personally I doubt him capable of providing it, there is no excuse for him seemingly adopting the wearing of an invisibility cloak.
Quite what Jeremy Corbyn’s brother’s opinions have to do with anything I haven’t a clue. Corbyn (J) is no longer relevant...his brother never was. Let’s see what Thatcher’s daughter feels or what John Major’s second cousin once removed has to offer.
I have never thought Piers Corbyn to be relevant to this, but its intriguing to see a different, perhaps lunatic, perspective on things. Ive no clue what he has ever done, but presumably some sort of civil liberties activist by the sounds of what he said. It seems it is everyone's inalienable right to go get covid and spread it far and wide!! I'd suggest everyone called Piers should be generally ignored
"that should dispel any last lingering doubts regarding his hopeless unsuitability for the role of PM.". I hadn't ever noticed any lingering doubts in the vicinity of chateau rA. But wasn't he the one that rather confusingly announced the new lockdown regime less than a week ago? I just lose track of days
I meant amongst those who still have a smidgen of respect for him, GP...completely share your view on the name Piers.
OK, I lose track of weeks then, not days?
As an interesting perspective I know one or two couples who genuinely feel that he is doing a brilliant job and that we should all be joyful that he is leading the fight. Intelligent professional middle class, ardent brexiteers both, one BAME, one not. Now i cannot say I agree with them wholeheartedly, but equally I don't share your "every move he makes makes him look worse" stance either.
What would be interesting to see might be an opinion poll after the worst of things calm down to analyse people's views on his performance. I wonder if the government, or someone else, would have the balls to commission one? Or is that was is called a general election, as unlikely as one of those might be?
