Mice! Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 14 minutes ago, Retsdon said: The Prime Minister takes paternity leave in the middle of a national crisis? Oh well... I suppose any farmer who has stock to feed and land to sow,; or any small business owner with clients and customers to serve; or any self-employed tradesman with jobs to get on with must have more on his plate that he can't find a way to give himself a couple of weeks paternity leave. Wondering where you where. So where does it say Boris is having two weeks off? The only thing I've seen says he will be taking paternity leave later in the year. The only people I can imagine not being at the birth of their child would be servicemen stationed away from home. Can't believe he spent the day with his wife and new baby, shocking.

Unhappy at having relatives die through Johnson's incompetence....remember "herd immunity"...? Or maybe unhappy his Government's disgraceful attempt to move the goalposts over NHS protocols for staff PPE so as to disguise their failings to adequately provide said PPE. Or maybe they are unhappy as they are just such nasty people that they can't put aside all that unhappy news of Britain likely to have one of the world's worst CV19 death rates to bring themselves to congratulate a serial philanderer and adulterer on having another child to add to the list of the many he has already fathered. Conduct that if he lived in a council house would have some here throwing all manner of metaphorical brickbats at him. We need a ‘like’ button!!!

Trevorevans Posted April 29, 2020 Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 So far every time something has been asked of him he’s taken an extended holiday, become ill (if you believe he actually had C-19 you must think the moon is cheese!) and now just after his miraculous recovery his latest squeeze has popped out a sprog so it’s paternity leave!. Any normal employee with this appalling track record would have quite rightly been sacked by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you seriously believe that someone at St Thomas hospital wouldn't have come out to the media and spilled the beans if it was a lie then you probably think the moon landings were faked.

WalkedUp Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Just a heads up boys, if you are concerned about nasty you probably best want to avoid the Harry/Megan thread and any of numerous Diane Abbott threads. The internet is too nasty a place. Until we know that both mother and baby are safe and well I certainly do not think we should be judging the man’s priorities.

MirokuMK70 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Clearly the child has been born prematurely as it wasn't due until early summer. Therefore there may well be medical issues with the mother or the baby. But all these people calling boris for having a day off would do differently and go to work as normal I'm sure!!!!

Retsdon Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Nasty comments, hey? Maybe. But I suppose I'm just an old-fashioned puritan. I've always looked a bit askance at blokes who father children and move on. Once - perhaps it's incompatibility, immaturity, whatever. These thing happen. But multiple times? Then it's a pattern of being too selfish to even take it out in time. Children deserve a family. And unless you're prepared to commit to them 100% then you shouldn't have them. That's my view. But like I say, maybe I'm just old-fashioned. As for Johnson, he was still married to his wife (and he's still married to her) when he fathered another child with his girlfriend. And not for the first time. Sorry, that's just...never mind. It's the stamp of the man. Edited April 30, 2020 by Retsdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Since I think it was me that raised the words 'nasty' comments - and despite the fact I said I was 'out of the thread' (!), let me expand on what I meant. I particularly found 'nasty' the implication that Johnson hadn't really been ill at all or had caught the virus 'on purpose' to get sympathy (quote "you (i) catch the virus, thereby enabling you garner public concern / sympathy, make a heroic recovery and absolve yourself of any decision making") the implication that he was using his partner having a baby as an excuse to duck PM questions, the implication that he would be taking Paternity Leave to dodge being "on the spot" when it has been clearly stated that he will not be taking paternity leave at present. Whether the child is 'out of wedlock' is not an issue in this day and age for the majority in the UK including me - and I congratulate him, and his partner on their new arrival.
