RESTORED 11/7/23
I don’t know, maybe I am the only one who sees this, but here is what I see. Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are two men cut from the same cloth. Personalities and appearances are very similar. They appear to have been CHOSEN for this time to play their roles. They are a distraction for what is really going on. The political battles they fain to be waging, are staged. The outcomes have all been decided long ago. The timing is all that is important now. So they are space savers.
Apparently, as President Trump put it “WE ARE MOVING INTO A NEW PHASE”. The Golden Boys, the Fair-haired wonders have been put in the back seat. Both of them at approximately the same time.
So, it will be interesting. They are both still around, still in office (per se) but kind of out of the driver seat. Both of them had appeared to be reluctant to play along with the UN and the WHO. Both of them had been down playing the threat of the CoronaVIrus/COVID 19. Or was that an act? We don’t know. Is that why they were dethroned? Or was that all just part of the game? We will have to watch and see what happens now.
Boris Johnson’s coronavirus timeline
The Prime Minister has been released from hospital after a week of treatment.
– April 10
The Prime Minister continues to recover in hospital, with Downing Street saying he is now able to do “short walks” between rests.
However, Downing Street does not confirm how long Mr Johnson is expected to remain in hospital.
When will the Prime Minister come back to work?
The Financial Times reports that ministers are excepting the return of Mr Johnson on May 7.
This, according to the publication, is to coincide with an announcement that lockdown restrictions may be eased ahead of the May Bank Holiday weekend and the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
Mr Johnson praised NHS staff when he was released from hospital, hailing our health service as the country’s “greatest national asset”, as he spoke from a video call.
The Prime Minister personally thanked health workers by name and admitted things could “have gone either way” during his stint in intensive care.
Mr Johnson is not doing any Government work while at Chequers
He wanted to thank two nurses in particular, Jenny and Luis, who he said stood by his bedside for 48 hours keeping a watchful eye on him.
He said: “For every second of the night they were watching and they were thinking and they were caring and making the interventions I needed.
“So that is how I also know that across this country, 24 hours a day, there are hundreds of thousands of NHS staff who are acting with the same care and thought and precision as Jenny and Luis.
“This is why we will defeat this coronavirus and defeat it together.”
Mr Johnson hailed the NHS as the country’s greatest asset
Mr Johnson went on to thank everyone in the country for making sacrifices, staying indoors and following social distancing rules during the warm weather.
He added: “So many millions and millions of people across this country have been doing the right thing.
“I want you to know that this Easter Sunday I do believe that your efforts are worth it, and are daily proving their worth.
“The British public has formed a human shield around this country’s greatest national asset – our National Health Service.”
“The British public has formed a human shield around this country’s greatest national asset – our National Health Service.”
In this war against the virus who is the real enemy? Government, police or is it us?
Whether it’s the number of deaths, the amount of PPE or the rates of testing, Johnson is about as sloppy with the facts as he was over Brexit. Robert Fisk says we’ve had enough careless talk – the people want the truth
t really is time we set The Boris Johnson Story to one side. I wish no one’s demise – and am glad that Johnson, like thousands of other people around the world, came back from the valley of the shadow of death. But it really is a bit much to hear him thank the NHS for his life when his own government cannot provide them with the protection they need to treat the sick. Or even provide his own people with the truth about just how many of them have died or are dying or will die.
Even if we accept the difference between Covid-19 hospital deaths and Covid-19 nursing home deaths and Covid-19 deaths at home – and even if we are prepared to believe the intolerable difficulties of collating these casualty tolls – why didn’t Boris Johnson’s spokesmen and spokeswomen (or Johnson himself before he was wounded in action) point out at the very start that the daily death toll in UK hospitals was probably a gross underestimation of total British casualties? Maybe by about 100 per cent.
I think the cabinet just thought they could get away with fooling us that hospital coronavirus deaths represented all deaths – until someone spotted that they didn’t, at which point the rest (or some of the rest) of the dead got untidily tacked on to the original figure with insufferable excuses as to why it might not be exact.
So please, let’s have fewer details of Johnson’s ordeal with death – and more details about just how many of his fellow citizens are meeting that fate. Careless Talk Costs Lives, the posters used to say in the Second World War, the event which all of us are supposed to remember, though most of us cannot conceivably do so – unless we are over 80 and not yet felled by Covid-19. But careless talk about how many lives are lost appears to be a feature of Boris Johnson’s cabinet. Indeed, whether it’s the number of deaths or the number of protection kits or the number of available tests or the number of positive tests, Johnson and his playmates are about as sloppy with the facts as they were over Brexit.
