Just mumbling and bumbling, not much clarity. Awkwardly rifling through his papers because he's too lazy and feckless to actually prepare himself. Never have we had a PM so ill suited to the role. |  |

This is excellent on that score. It basically reveals that the very myth he created about himself and cashed in on over the years is exactly what we've got now and what makes him such an awful leader.
Keep reading until you get to the twist in the tale:

That's a very good one, I heard him relating it in a radio feature just before the Dec 19 GE.
Either not many people heard it or they didn't care and voted for him anyway. I stil think the reason the world got lumbered with him & Trump is in no small part due to the culture of charisma & having blond hair. |  |

He couldn’t even be arsed to attend five consecutive cobra meetings as the crisis was developing.
He wanted the job for the lols. He’s completely unsuited to crisis management. Teresa May would have been infinitely better.
He is a fcking car crash, to our collective cost, and if you’re still backing him, you are mental. |
I'm not sure Teresea May would've, but Theresa might've been.
Though I'm not sure how much crisis planning is required on an adult movie set. Quite a lot, possibly. |  |

Impossible situation to manage. It’s impossible to keep everyone happy. The variety of views and attitudes towards restrictions shown by people on here demonstrates that. I feel sorry for him. It’s an impossible and thankless job he’s got. |
He wanted the top job, he’s got it and he’s made a total balls of it in under a year - as many predicted he would. How on earth can you feel sorry for him? |  |

He’d have winged it under normal circumstances. He’d have been a liability and an expensive mistake, but he would have got away with it.
It’s tragic for the uk that the pandemic arrived at the same time as Johnson though. |  |

Yep. And what's more tragic is that most of those who backed him would rather pretend he's not been a disaster than admit they might have got it wrong. | |

I don't think we're special enough that ours is particulalrly tricky. There are plenty of countries with an older population than ours - aging populations is a global problem for developed countries ( https://www.prb.org/countries-with-the-oldest-populations/).
There's more of a case with average health. We don't do that well and a lot of the countries higher ranked for health have done better with covid. New Zealand are the same as us though, average health wise and they've bossed us. Health itself is also a reflection of how a country manages itself. We've probably got poor average health ratings for many of the same reasons we've coped badly with covid. |
New Zealand has nowhere near the population density that we have ... we pretty much have the perfect storm for Covid ... |  |

No they don't, but but you were making a point about health not population density. There are countries with much higher population densities, with open borders who've done much better than us. We have the highest excess death rate in Europe, despite being Europe's only island nation.
The only reason we have the perfect storm is because we had abandoned preparations, reacted too late in a confused manner and then undermined all authority by fecking off to Barnard Castle.
If you can't see that they've got this wrong, there's no hope. |  |

I’m not saying they haven’t got things wrong, of course they have. I was saying I have some sympathy with those tasked with managing such a difficult situation | |

If you caught 'boris' with his johnson in Mrs Paz, you'd ask if he'd like a cuppa.
Never wrong. Ever. | |

The point is up to now we have been reactive rather than proactive. Rather than looking to head things off at the pass we let them proceed then ended up scrambling trying to change direction. The WHO were asking for widespread lockdowns and social distancing long before we implemented it. The government allowed fans of a Spanish football team, from a key outbreak area, to travel and interact in one of our biggest cities. The government permitted a large audience at the Cheltenham Gold Cup as figures from other nations were showing what was to come. The government decided to change basic rules to keep the likes of Dominic Cummings and Michael Gove onside rather than risk losing them due to their blatant disregard for public safety. This is not being wise after the event, this is ignoring all the signs until it was too late then trying to ease potentially too much before everything was under control. The irony is one of the key Brexit pledges was to control our borders yet, when we could have done to try and manage the virus entering the country from abroad, we failed miserably to do so. |  |

You've yet to provide any good reason to disagree with my OP. At least you now admit they've got things wrong, what you haven't done is provided any evidence of things that speak to Johnson actually being competent as a PM. You haven't done so because you can't. You support him in the way a kid supports a football team: with great enthusiasm and a delusional belief that they really are the greatest team in the world despite them playing in the Conference South. | |

You could easily argue he’s worse, much worse, than Trump as a leader. Given Johnson’s upbringing and education and supposed intellect, he’s a giant f**king fraud. Surely the worst Prime Minister there’s ever been. |
Don't conflate intellect with education. |  |

Are you trying to say Dagenham and Redbridge aren't a good team? | |

They are better at football than Boris Johnson is at being Prime Minister. | |

Come on gazzer, join the debate and explain to me why you think Johnson is competent. Don't just down arrow from the sidelines. | |

I would also imagine, in this scenario, if Mrs Paz suggested that Boris wasn’t quite getting the job done, Paz would explain to his Mrs, what she was doing wrong. |  | | |

I imagine in this scenario that if Johnson was struggling to get to full mast and was fumbling about trying to thumb in a semi, Pazzer would be on the sidelines lauding him for doing a fantastic job. | |
