enfieldspares Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Today the press are running the story that the Government has made an offer settlement...of five figures...with the woman frogmarched by Cummings out of 10 Downing Street for her to drop her case at an impending Employment Tribunal. And that she has accepted that offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blair and Cameron would have the sense to put a specialist in key positions. I think Donkey had the wrong advisers for the job, immediately they secured Brexit but it's hard to switch loyalties. These advisers left no room to hear the voices of reason, crowded out by the cheer leaders. He might have got away with fumbling the trade deal as he can blame Brussels for any failure and there is no benchmark. With Covid on top he is exposed for what he is. I don't think anyone can sensibly say that any of the other PMs as far back as thatcher did a better job and many did far worse ie Tony Blair so on that basis alone, Boris hasn't done bad so far, particularly when you consider all the extra things that have happened during his leadership.

Mice! Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Imagine Covid hadn't happened (if only) given Boris's majority after the election and Brexit getting sorted he would have been riding high looking great. I can't imagine anyone looking good in the current climate but I'm things could be far far worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think things are bad, when you look at Europe I'd say we're doing fine. But I'm not out of work or worrying about my job. Many parts of the UK public should take better care before blaming the government for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that all the UK public is worth? It’s a rum affair when we start to benchmark ourselves against not being the worst eh? Of the PMs of my lifetime that i can remember, i think May has been the poorest for doing absolutely nothing, Boris is hot on her heels and has barely been in office, he has demonstrated an absolute manifest failure in effective leadership. Thereafter, all the others have been fine on balance in the context of the environment surrounding them when in office, albeit all have a mixed bag when it comes to their legacy.

Tony Blair hands down for me, bankrupted our country, signed our rebate to the EU away, opened the floodgates for mass uncontrolled immigration, tried to sign us up to the euro, took us into an illegal war costing countless lives and laying the ground for isis to be born. You'd have to go an awfully long way to beat that surely? Your right about Mays inefficientcy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted November 14, 2020 Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) The leader of the country, or rather the elected leader, is the Prime Minister. There is no role for a supposed "first lady" of 10 Downing Street and as such it is outrageous that (if as reported) Johnson's woman was texting him up to twenty-five times an hour with her opinions on his policies. If the way that UK is lead and the policies associated with such is to be decided by a woman that woman by constitution is HM the Queen and her alone. It is not the latest female that, for the present time, enjoys Prime Minister Johnson's bedroom favours.

I block my wife’s notifications during working hours 8am-8pm as when she’s home and I’m still in work she pesters me to a similar degree.
