idun Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Whether one likes or dislikes Boris, he is a force of nature, and I found myself feeling more distressed than I had ever imagined I would be yesterday.I can only wish him well and a prompt recovery.

Lori Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Obviously, I am from a different part of the world, but I do hope he recovers. I know little about him, but I hate to see all this death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have said before that I would not wish this virus on anybody, and I wish him well in his recovery.That said there are many other people suffering in the same situation, not least because of decisions that have been made by the party that he leads.They will not get the attention, and possibly not the quality of care, that Mr Johnson will receive, so I keep most of my sympathy for them.

Gardengirl Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’m not a fan of his, but I wish him all the very best and a swift recovery - what a shock it was to hear that he had gone into intensive care, despite him being fit, as many who know him say. There seems to be a pattern - deterioration after 9/10 days leading to needing intensive care, onto a ventilator and if not young and/or fit, the next step seems to be, sadly, multiple organ failure.His poor fiancée must be so very worried.

BritinBretagne Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I’m with Norman on this one. I’m not sure which definition of fit they are using, the man that I’ve seen on TV has never looked particularly fit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulT Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 He certainly seemed very ill in the video on Friday.Would not wish it on anyone.Listening to a political correspondent yesterday and he praised Boris for being very ready to delegate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinBretagne Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 But he’s not prepared to delegate. That’s one of the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulT Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I suppose it is a good job that there is no hospital visiting at the moment - if all his children went to see him the hospital would be packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meek Megan Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 PaulTNice one!And how could they be sure of their identity?Am I alone in thinking that it is an unsatisfactory state of affairs when the man in charge goes sick in the middle of a crisis ( and failed to carry out the simple task of nominating a deputy)?

NickP Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Good to see political point-scoring being made out of a world crisis. NOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 There is, of course, a hierarchy, with Raab next in line, followed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. However, it might be refreshing to see the Cabinet working collectively, taking it in turns to show their faces.Whichever, the Prime Minister must take the time to recover before he assumes the reins of power again, so that he may reign long and well, beloved by his people, cheered in the streets and showered with honours and respect by world leaders who come to sit at his feet and seek wisdom!

idun Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Raab, limited powers, well, perhaps, but frankly if the worst had happened it would have been sorted at a great rate of knots.Remember Blair used to leave John Prescott in charge, is it really any worse now?
