A Question for Tory Supporters

I think he's saying the Dr sent them to the hospital despite knowing he wasn't sick, by claiming it might be pneumonia. Then the hospital staff, knowing that "pneumonia" is a keyword for "not actually sick", left them waiting around so that a real sick person could use the bed.


Which doesn't really explain the drip, or the fact the hospital has confirmed the story.



You'd have thought the right wing would have happily accepted the hospital was overcrowded and used it as an argument for blocking more immigrants from coming in and using all the resources.

If you look closely you can easily see it isn’t a drip. It’s an oxygen line and you can see the face mask.

Also, Corbyn is very poor on answering questions on Brexit and the Anti-Semitism issue - witness his Andrew Neil interview and some of the TV debates.

Unfortunately we won't be able to judge Boris Johnson's performance under questioning by Andrew Neil as his handlers don't want him to reveal how utterly useless he is when being interviewed other than trotting out soundbites.

Recent events in London where terrorists have been very swiftly despatched shows that this isn’t happening.

But thats my point those brave firearms officers that put their lives on the line and have to make that life and death decision are able to make that decision knowing that if for example like the death of Jean Charles de Menezes that if from their perspective there is a suspected threat they will not be prosecuted if with hindsight it turns out that person was innocent.

That was why Corbyn said his comments against a "shoot to kill" policy. If he had been prime minister and prosecuted those officers and changed policy to make sure officers do not shoot unless they are 100% sure then would those recent events in London where the terrorists were swiftly dispatched be so quickly resolved?

This is a man don't forget who after the Sailsbury poisoning said we should send a sample of the toxin to Putin to ask him if it came from them and that we should do nothing as we cannot be 100% sure.

He is weak on security... He can't even make a decision about which side of Brexit he is on. He is the only person in the whole of the UK it seems that say's he is "Neutral" on Brexit. Can anyone honestly say they have no view one way or the other on Brexit?

I agree Boris is avoiding the Andrew Neil interview, however I really don't like this new wave of politics media, they do not allow the interviewee to answer the question (Andrew Marr), they don't care about the actual question or the answer they want to soundbite, a headline, I am not against asking difficult questions but some interviewers (Specifically Andrew Neil) just try to wind up the interviewee, like trying to poke a bear to get a response.

The difference is Corbyn and Swinson and others have everything to gain and little to lose as they are so far behind. Boris has very little to gain and everything to lose. So although I don't agree with avoiding being interviewed I can totally understand why Boris would avoid that type of interview. I think when it has been leader against leader Boris has done very well, in the recent Boris vs Corbyn debate I think both sides scored points but Boris was a clear winner. I am more disappointed about him not turning up to the climate debate.

So when something like this comes along he doesn’t want to deal with it and it flummoxes him.

Shove a picture under anybody's face and ask them to comment. Of course they would be flummoxed. A measured response requires the full facts.

Like the previous time when he visited a hospital & was challenged about only being there for a photo op?


His first & only instinct was to lie. He blatantly stated that the press weren't present when in fact he was surrounded by reporters & cameras. He was being filmed saying it!


He shows no regard for the truth in any way shape or form. He doesn't care that everyone knows he's lying. It's just what he does.


So when you elect him tomorrow & he doesn't perform as you wanted, you can't really blame him for it. It's just Boris being Boris. You know what he is & you know what you're going to get.

Give the Labour line a rest. Somewhat repetitive to hear. When used out to drown out the real news. Over use something too much the effectiveness wears off.

There's press on hand whenever Ministers are out and about. The local press are always informed as a matter of course. The National press the day's itinerary.

Many people who are no friends of the Labour Party don't think much of him either.

Amber Rudd described him as a liar obsessed with becoming PM and that he was 'not the man you want to drive you home at the end of the evening'.

Max Hastings who was Boris Johnson's boss when he was editor of the Daily Telegraph thinks that he is "utterly unfit to be prime minister" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jun/24/boris-johnson-prime-minister-tory-party-britain

Peter Oborne former chief political commentator of The Daily Telegraph describes him as a liar https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/18/boris-johnson-lying-media
He has even created a website with a long list of the lies Boris Johnson has told https://boris-johnson-lies.com/

People have to earn respect. Only time can judge him.

You can make the same accusations of Corbyn.

I've worked in my lifetime with many people that I've grown to respect while not actually liking them.

Agreed. But that’s not good enough for those of a left wing persuasion. In these days of social media and instant gratification, they want things done yesterday.
