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.

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
Take your blinkers off for a minute, and actually read what i've posted
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.
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'
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.
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...

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!
