Re: Education
I am thankful to Boris for;-
1 Brexit. Respecting the democratic vote of the British people (51.89%)
2. Vaccine rollout - the biggest and fasted in history. See also # 1
3. Freedom of information throughout Covid from Medical experts. The Public and Journalists from across the political spectrum allowed to put questions without fear or favour. Democracy
4 Support for Ukraine. The UK was at the forefront of the International effort and has supplied £3.8 BILLION in military /humanitarian / economic aid. See # 1 again
EU has sent 1.5 BILLION EUROS. See # 1 again
5. Banned Russian owned ships from our waters.
Eu permits Russian owned ships to operate in the Mediterranean
This week my husband, Pete, and I have COVID . It is most unpleasant. We have been jabbed 4 times so again I give thanks for # 1 and # 2
Boris has many faults - as we all do. He has done great things with the matters that have impinged most on our lives and for that we should be grateful.
Yes, it's time to go but ,please. no kicking when the man is down. Did your mother not teach you that?

As been said many times, the person responsible for the downfall of Boris Johnson is Boris Johnson.

Re: Education
Boris, had no chance of being a success, the leftovers wing Media, the Remainers all ganged upon against him. Any mistake he had was pounced and blown out of all proportion.
Tony Blair the biggest liar this country has produced had an easy ride in comparison with Boris.
Boris didn't take UK into an illegal war, he didn't send our troops to war with poor and outdated equipment.
Boris don't write or implement ill thought out rules that could lead to the eventual break up of the UK.

Re: Education
Why is it that Tony Blair always gets dragged into the thread? he has not been PM for nearly 15 years, yesterday man. His party and policies were more akin to left wing Tories. He led Labour to 3 general election victories. How many Tory MP's voted for the Iraq war?
But seeing as we are talking about illegal wars or military interventions to bring about regime change.
The UN has not given coalition forces the "legal authority" to remove Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi by military action, David Cameron has said. So the coalation forces still went ahead and attacked Libya(UK, France & USA) One of the main reasons we now have 1000's of refugees flooding across the Medi and most heading for the UK.
As to Boris and illegal wars , well let's face it he was not in office long enough to do that.
Yet more problems for Boris!!! Civil servants in the Cabinet Office’s propriety and ethics team are said to have alerted Boris Johnson to a HM Revenue and Customs “flag” over Nadhim Zahawi before his appointment. The PM appointed him despite the possible concerns over his tax affairs.

Re: Education
In reply to Vic. Johnsons lies are not a "mistake" they are deliberate decisions to mislead Parliament and the people.
We all make mistakes in life, they are unavoidable, we learn from mistakes and try to avoid them happening again.
A compulsive liar does not learn.

Re: Education
I hope all those dusky people looking after themselves in parliament remember how much pain Britain entering Europe caused them, and how many of those working hard under the Red Duster were made unemployed.
