Absolutely ridiculous. Spitting in the face all of those who have succumbed to the virus by insinuating they weren’t “fit” enough.

Worst PM in history -and that’s saying something when you look at his two predecessors.

Compared to Brown and Callaghan he is genius - and I agree he has been a disgrace.

Poor as Callaghan and Brown may have been, our current PM is bloody dire.
Not content with duping the general public, he has now started replacing impartial civil servants with inexperienced stooges from his group of friends.

Credit where it's due, even his windbag predecessor got into Gove's ribs over there and apparently, "experience isn't important in national security, just as long as you tell the truth"

What an utter joke.

Clown PM and his cabinet are throwing buckets of feathers around for fun.

Look out, he's behind you

I completely agree that Johnson is a disgrace but we are able to get our bins emptied and bury our dead!!

May needs to be careful - she used the civil service to try and undermine the Brexit vote and blame them for the windrush!!. Perhaps her loyalty is misplaced.

You can bury your dead but you do have to wait sometime and then limit the numbers to 10, stand outside, go in with the coffin, sit down for a maximum of 15 minutes then leave and not loiter because the next one is ready to go in. You can get your bin emptied every two weeks but not until recently garden waste was not collected and refuse sites were closed, so not a lot different.

To use “whack-a-mole” as a strategy against a deadly virus - it’s just another day wondering how anyone thought BJ was a credible candidate to be a PM.

“At least it isn’t Corbyn”.

Not one bin collection of any kind missed at this end & refuse sites opened from end of April

Never missed a bin collection including garden waste and recycling - refuse sites open - we didn't see the pile up of rubbish we did before Callaghan departed and the unions got a reality check and as you said you can bury your dead - the numbers have nothing to do with the process of burial.

I think there is a lot in that - plus the voters telling MPs who is boss - we voted to leave, the MPs tried to stop it, the population told them who holds the power.

The bulk of MPs didnt try and stop Brexit. Brexit was never defined in 2016 so the arguments in Westminster were all about the fight between a hard and soft Brexit. The 48/52 result suggests that the softer version would have satisfied the max number of voters. Instead we are heading for a more extreme version and as a consequence we are still a divided nation.

Not even that but the leavers very much told us that we would be having a soft Brexit - "Norwegian style" they said, "no suggestion of leaving the single market" they said. Since then the lunatic fringe have taken over and have retroactively claimed that a hard Brexit or no-deal Brexit is the only way of fulfilling the vote - a vote they would not have won if they'd been clear on this point. But they lie and lie again about "the will of the people" being obstructed to secure their extremist ideological ends and have no care for what damage it will do to millions of people and thousands of businesses in this country.
