General Chat

I don't know why he just don't admit after Boris got hit and hed been in close quarters with him,he just got plain scared,,panicked and fled out of London..

A friend of mine decided to send a email to number 10 stating that Cummings should be sacked she asked to do the same but mine was rejected I wonder why :-D :-D

Lots of questions here.

Just watching Boris now and he has given himself an 'out' already - too much on his plate at the end of March to listen to what DC was trying to say.

He ain't getting an easy ride from the journalists though. ......

And now, he's fielding off questions ... Not giving a definitive answer but saying people will have to make up their minds.

Amazingly, still coming onside with DC and won't comment on that situation, he said, because DC had already given a long explanation regarding his actions.

He also had the gall to give the public a pat on the back - we've only got this far by obeying the rules ya ya ya. Some of us did but now I wonder what he can do if we all went walkabout especially as he's mentioned to someone she could herself speak to people not obeying the rules before calling on the police.

What a bleeding fudge but he has just said he can't give unconditional backing to anyone - another get-out for him. He does not like facing those journalists - and he ought to be used to them considering his past life.

Oh gawd he's forgotten the sacrifices people made during WW2 ... Can't watch any more of his twaddle and bluster.

I think I might just go a visit my daughter have not seen her since christmas had to spend my 70th birthday in lockdown if I had known DC was on the move I would been right behind him arrogant man :-P :-P

Personally, if I had to stop and think 'am I fit to drive', I would assume I'm not...

Who else knew that it was ok to drive when you can’t see your nose in front of your face :-S

More questions than answers thrown up.

Why drive with both your wife AND son in the car, when your eyesight's a bit 'iffy'?

Why was his wife allowed in the ambulance, when they thought their son had covid?

Of course, Pat, just to test that I am fit enough to drive ..... cos I am considerate of others.

Btw I wondered if a trip to that castle was taken on his wife's birthday. All supposition of course - but it would not surprise me at all.

Mother's birthday on the 4th I think so he was there for that as well.

You will just be doing a test drive of course ;-)

Pat, I heard it was his mother's birthday while they were in Durham.

I'm off to trek around Houghall Woods tomorrow ..... have been a couple of times but never when the bluebells were out and they're supposed to be spectacular.

Might then drive to see my son ..... but I won't go near him, guv, honest! :-D

Me officer I'm not doing anything wrong driving here I'm just checking to see if I'm fit to drive - honest. Anyone now can use it.



Did you know it was his wife's birthday when they went to Barnard Castle. :-S

Coolly arrogant and self-serving but not an asset to Boris now.

While in London, just how ill was his wife if he felt he should go back to work rather than isolate with her?

So he did visit Barnard Castle and what an excuse for doing so. Does his wife not drive? Such a lovely place to visit but it's about 25 miles from Durham and he could have just tested himself on how well he felt he was able to drive by driving down the A1M or A167 for a short distance- but not quite so scenic on a nice day.

The woods have me mystified. We had heard it was Houghall Woods but they are not owned by his family and he did say the walk was in family-owned woods and that he saw people in the distance. It makes me wonder if these were the people who said they saw him in Houghall Woods - if that was so, they would have known where they were.

What is irking me somewhat is that his child ended up in hospital - and I suspect he meant the nearest NHS hospital, within walking distance of me, and where my friend's daughter, an intensive care nurse caught the virus and had time off work - along with others.

Was that hospital visit before or after they swanned off to Barnard Castle?

Interesting to hear someone mention a castle because this is what was in my mind when I mentioned Chillingham.

Finally, did he say he had stayed at 'a family-owned property' or a property owned by his father?

Let us mourn over the corpse of his stuttering statement. There is little or no escape from the dull fatality of a sacking.

I wonder how long he will last after this statement because to me he cant put two words together and it might be me but he does not seem to be making much sense

Advisers advise they do not have executive powers, that is reserved to HM Civil Service.

Oh well his mummy loves him. ;-)

And now he is half an hour late with his appearance.

Another Occasion where you offer too resign, we accept and you get to keep Your pension and bonuses.

Will be watching this.

Perhaps BoJo has taken other advice and now intends to safeguard his rear, which is about time.

A good analogy, Rollo, but does he have the glitz and glamour of Butch and Sundance. However, I think it may well be his wont to come out all guns blazing - an act of self-preservation, even though I believe he talks tougher than he actually is.

This situation is of his own making and if he resigns there may be a collective sigh of relief.

We will know the stuff he is made of if he puts self before the party.
