Yes,,it will be going viral (oh no-another pun)
I say,like or loathe him ,at least Boris has the immense character to be portrayed as a caricature in the media,unlike the others.That is very important--to be regularly portrayed in the media, warts and all,flatteringly or otherwise.The alternative is unremarkable ignominy ,obscurity...and then"Who's that?"

Re: Covid
Yes those Eton groups all come out together usually like bunches of grapes, there are about 3 others I can think of of his era ,one of them a politician a past PM , another a chump on tv. But as you say their names elude me at the moment. Nothing one can say about them, As all very average , except the one on tv, was in that car driving program and always strikes me as a long streak of pish and egocentric to boot. Think Boris revels in the mad professor looks and actions to hide his other disabilities , is probably a very shy man hiding whatever talents he has in case anyone pinches them, they all probably keep apart out of the public eye as don’t want the unfavourable publicity it might arouse. Anyhow Boris will fill the empty space until someone more appealing comes along ,then will sit back and hope for applause to go with the pension. Cheers JS .

Re: Covid
It is reported today that 90% of critical care beds are being occupied by people who have not had any vaccinations against covid. One patient who was treated, recovered and released back into society, says he had every right to take up a bed and be treated, and his occupation of a bed and services in no way affected any operation required for a cancer or other ill person and he will not be getting any vaccines now. How self centred and selfish can you get.

Re: Covid
We will never win with these ignorant and selfish people, in my local shop you will still see people walking in without wearing a mask, and its mainly young people who are behind the till, and a bit overwhelming for them to tell them to put a mask on, and face abuse. Its ok to make laws, but they must be reinforced, and the only way i can see for that, is the police in plain clothes to catch a few, taken to task, and large fines dished out. That is the only thing that will hit home, kt

Re: Covid
Transport for London (TfL) are having zero tolerance on mask wearing TfL police issued hundreds of fines on the new first day and bus drivers are refusing to move off if passengers try to board without a mask. Here in Torquay bus drivers have the same attitude,good on em!

Re: Covid
Sadly it seems like the tale wagging the dog, many anti-vaxers congregate around school gates advising kids of their rights and also advising not to take.
Their should be a no go around schools.
In Germany, no jab, get covid no pay, something we should adopt in the UK.
