Damn right. Ministers who defend Boris Johnson have completely misread the public sentiment on this, and they’re simply delaying the inevitable.

Boris Johnson must go!

A postcode neighbouring Cheltenham Racecourse had the highest number of coronavirus hospital admissions in Gloucestershire earlier this month, according to leaked official data.
The GL52 postcode, which covers areas of north Cheltenham including Pittville, Prestbury and Bishop’s Cleeve, had 27 confirmed hospital admissions of the virus as of April 3, the highest amount in the county, according to the OS data leaked to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
The entire Cheltenham area was the county hotspot for coronavirus hospital admissions at the same point, however it is not known what the latest figures are for the town.
The data also shows GL51, where Cheltenham Spa Railway Station is based, was the second highest in the county and the two postcodes made up nearly a quarter of county-wide hospital admissions as of April 3.
Organisers of The Festival, held at the Cheltenham Racecourse which neighbours the GL52 postcode in the northern edge of the town, have since been criticised for going ahead with the meeting by public health experts.
More than 250,000 people attended the four-day event from March 10-13, which ended 10 days before UK lockdown measures began on March 23 and three days before social distancing measures were announced on March 16.
The Jockey Club introduced special hygiene measures for the meeting, including extra hand-washing stations, and said it had followed clear guidance from the Government and science experts.
Gloucestershire is currently the most affected county in the least affected region – the South West – in Great Britain with 989 cases of the virus and 147 deaths in the county as of yesterday (April 22).
A Government spokeswoman said there are “many factors that could influence the number of cases in a particular area” and that comparisons between hospital trusts “can’t be made”.
The Government also said the decision to go ahead with The Festival was taken by the racecourse, and “was operating within clear Public Health England guidance at the time.”
The full attendance of The Festival was: 60,664 on March 10 (Champions Day); 56,943 on March 11 (Ladies Day); 65,218 on March 12 (St Patrick’s Day); and 68,859 on March 13 (Gold Cup Day).
Earlier this week, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden defended his decision at the time to not cancel sporting events such as The Festival.
He said: “The risk at mass gatherings was no greater or less than it would have been in pubs or restaurants, and the advice at that point was that we did not need to ban mass gatherings.”
A Government spokeswoman said: ‘’It is our absolute priority to protect people’s health and our advice on coronavirus is the result of direct, continuous consultation with medical experts.

The findings from the Sunday Times, a distinctly right wing, establishment media source. This has been shared quite widely on Facebook today, and just shows how poorly prepared this country was, governed by a ruthless bunch of uber capitalists, happy to allow our elderly people to just die, so that the economy could be protected. Anyone who ever believed in Boris Johnson or the tories needs to have a good long look at this. I seriously hope that this shameful neglect ruins the party, once this is all over

From a friend.

Do I feel sorry for Boris. No. He's lied and bluffed his way through his entire career. He's been fired several times for lying. He relied on his immense privilege to protect him throughout his life. His party voted to halt pay rises for NHS staff, for 10 years - the very people who are risking their health, and that of their family's, to save his life now. He illegally prorogued parliament to push through his own agenda. Until this crisis happened, he was bulldozing his way through English democratic law and protocol, with impunity.

I will never forget his callousness towards every single UK citizen when he stated 'many families will lose loved ones before their time' less than one month ago. It was HIS government that dragged their heels on this, refused to test, track and trace, proudly boasted that he was shaking hands with everyone at the hospitals he was visiting, refused on ideological grounds to co-operate with the EU ventilator programme, underfunded the NHS for a decade and now can't even provide essential PPE for those risking their own health and that of their families to look after the sick, missed the boat on ordering tests....all despite the warnings and pleadings coming from China and Italy.

We had time to take early action. We could have mitigated the damage. The UK media is doing 'so shocked!'. I'm not. He clearly didn't take it seriously enough and now he's reaping the consequences. My feelings would be very different if he and his cronies had done everything possible to look after the very people that voted them into power - but they didn't. They did virtually nothing until it was way too late which has cost countless lives already. The people my heart IS breaking for are all the other poor souls and their loved ones who have and are suffering unnecessarily as a direct result of this government's disastrous incompetence. Those people didn't have the power to make important decisions that should have been made long ago. Sometimes you reap what you sow, Boris...sometimes money and privilege and lies can't protect you. Good luck.

Only back on here for a minute.
Just to be clear if you like or admire Piers Morgan.
Go f**k yourself, your family and anyone you know.
He is scum, a f**king worthless piece of s**t, a detritus on the last arse hair of humanity.
I wish nothing more than his non existence.

Thanks and have a good day
