Is Boris’s Lax Leadership Putting Us All in Danger ?

Would people from the right or middle who voted for him really want him dead? ok... so must be the left.


Anyway. her remarks were shameful and crass- However, I don't think she should lose her job because of it. She is entitled to her opinion, which I disagree with, But I do believe in freedom of speech!

 The fact that she is a mayor -different story - quite right to lose that office and be removed from the party for saying out loud what many probably privately think! :)

I’m ‘the left’ and I don’t want him dead, so bang goes your theory.

Oh Faith, it wasn't a theory... just the proof you needed that is was just those leaning the left who were giving him a hard time. no one from the right were being nasty.

Those who have no political affiliation but have been at the sharp end of Johnson and his party’s policies are also making their opinions known as are those who are on the right but have no time for Johnson.

Isn’t the help you’re getting for your business from the government socialism in action ?

No. it is a government giving money back to those who give in.  Those who contribute nothing should they really expect having more than those who give money in?

outsourcing doesn't help nor does bringing in 70 thousand people from outwith our borders. Help people with zero hours and low pay.

Sorry I missed the opinions of those on the right who were calling him names.

I’m pleased to say I received my government grant today, thank you Rishi.

Free money for those in need. We’ll make a socialist of you yet

lol but it isn't 'free' the government does not have any money to give away. They take from the people via tax!  low paid workers... AND if you take on another job to boost your income YOU pay more tax so not much better of really.

I see Faithlilly is still banging the “we are all socialists now” drum.  I will never be one, as it demonstrably does not work.  Socialism taken to its nth degree would mean we would all be given an identical equal  living wage for doing b....r all and society would fall apart in five minutes because if people don’t have to work they won’t and if brain surgeons get paid the same as someone who chooses not to work why would anyone bother to spend years training to be one in the first place?

YES you just need to ask the Russian and the Chinese- now global capitalist economies- more billionaires. Still have poverty. Only some rose to the top of the tree and well,  guess who they were?

They use low crimes to entrap citizens to do low/no pay work!

Perhaps those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own and have had to depend on the state for their income will be a tad more sympathetic to those who have had to do the same but in the long term.

The Universal Basic Income, which Spain has just introduced, would mean no one would have less than a set amount to live on. It doesn’t mean that everyone would be paid the same wage.

I do not disagree with that sentiment at all. However, the system is being abused, and those abusing it are the root cause of the less money going to those who really do need it!  I know this to be true!

I see pain and suffering from all walks of life in my line of work I know who is deserving of help- I also see people who are bleeding the system- that sickens me. AND higher tax from the rich/middle/lower working class will not stop the abusers.

Government cuts are the cause of the needy going without. Blaming those who abuse the system, a small fraction of claimants, is simply shifting the blame away from those who are truly culpable.
