Is Boris Johnson a coward? on 17:30 - Dec 9 by Rochdale_ger
People have been shoving pictures of ill kids lying on coats in hospital wards in front of Bj all afternoon. He is being held to account.
Johnson hasn't got a single ounce of empathy for anybody other than himself. He just couldn't care less. Imagine having to send Hancock to sort it out. He's another nonentity.

The photo was in the lefty rag. Nothing to say it wasn’t a set up by some lefty Marxist activists intent on trying to get one over on the capitalistic greedy folk. Don’t trust anything that I’m seeing or hearing. Unless you actually see things and know things, then it is not possible to comment without prejudice, We see that the nation’s politics have stooped too far.

Johnson would have said that if it was the case. It’s the Tories that keep having to take down fake ads

I'm genuinely confused - what is 'shite' in your view? - no hospital bed for a sick child in the 5th richest nation on the planet? - the leader of the governing party for the last decade refusing to take responsibility for that? - or the nasty media & press for challenging that leader! By all means argue for voting Tory cos you're a Leave supporter but don't defend the indefensible.

I'd understand your confusion, but i've already told you to read the last quoted paragraph in a previous post
That's all you need to know about my point of view, in terms of how the media are just determined to stick something on politicians (of all parties) to try to make them look like idiots/uncaring tw@ts/whatever - and you and all those who've knee-jerked in response to my post just prove how easy it is to get you all twisting in the media wind

No one is targeted more in the media than Corbyn . It’s only when Johnson is given a bit that you have decided it’s unfair and shite.

That's all you need to do. I'd refrained from posting on here until today, in the certain knowledge that all i'd get in response would be party-political prejudice

So Corbyn gets fair treatment in the uk media, is that what you are saying? I agreed with you saying future debates on TV need sorting, but that doesn’t excuse the tories behaviour in this election. I support Labour, but that doesn’t mean I am blinkered, I read the guardian, The Times as well as various sources online.

The MPs for Leeds. Richard Burgon Hilary Benn Fabian Hamilton Rachel Reeves Alex Sobel Wonder what they all have in common?
you've forgotten Stuart Andrew, Andrea Jenkyns & Alex Shelbrooke - understandable in terms of their profile but wouldn't want you to be accused of ' innaccuracy'

According to the number of national newspapers and the % of those which are anti - Labour; come on DA, you're usually so balanced!
It looks like the tame Tories that work for the BBC haven't been tame enough for the Johnson gang. He's threatening to abolish the licence fee unless they behave. Just one more step down the road to a right wing dictatorship.
As opposed to being dictated to having to pay for something you don't use?

You don’t need a staged photo of a kid sleeping on a coat to know things aren’t as they should be in the NHS. Take a trip to Blackburn general or north Manchester hospital and look at all of the old people waiting in corridors in the A&E unit or outside the resuscitation ward.

don't think your lights are ever hidden under bushels DA - you regularly extol your pro-Brexit views on this board. Careful, balanced arguments are commendable and the tone of current political debate is worthy of condemnation, but there is no defence for inhumanity - argue it's less important than effective economics or whatever, by all means, but just as Corbyn has massive weaknesses so does Johnson - his failure to demonstrate empathy or honesty as on this occasion is one.
I don't use the public swimming baths and the gym in town. Shall we close them down then ?
Poor people have bailiffs Knocking at their door and get into arrears over non payment of a tv license. Let’s not pretend forcing people into buying a product is a noble thing.

That's his problem, you can't manufacture empathy. You either have it or you don't. He has none. As Bill Shankly once said about a footballer " A heart as big as a caraway seed ".

good point, you don't but it's an effective image in a world where so much of our communication is by digital image and apparently wasn't 'staged' as both the hospital and the Health Secretary have acknowledged it's veracity.

There’s been no knee-jerk reaction. The blatant flaws in the argument have been noted, that’s all. You extol regulating the media when it comes to political debate. Boris Johnson, whose absence from political debates you seek to explain via the requirement for this regulation, would however never in a million years countenance such a thing. On the other hand, if it was Corbyn dodging interviews and wanting to regulate the media you’d be apoplectic. The argument’s been rightly called out for what it is. A diversionary tactic to avoid criticism of Johnson dodging scrutiny. Your claim of non partisan objectivity is ridiculous.
Politics and the press..it’s a mix of yes prime minister and the prog drop the dead donkey.. I can’t recall such a dreadful choice as on the ballot papers this Thursday..I expect a very low turnout..and a Tory win with a relatively small majority....god help us all...

I’ve always been an advocate of the BBC, but no more after this election coverage, it’s time it was abolished, along with the licence fee

it's not, but we don't need to buy swimming pools, we own them communally - unless they're privatised, but no government would ever sell off the 'family silver' like that would they!
