    He could always use a pencil and paper to tell the others if necessary. That way they all have the knowledge. Would be very selfish of him otherwise, knowing his life needed saving above all others. Unfortunately it's a piss poor analogy

    Evidence from Iceland and the cruise ship that got locked down in Japan that up to 50% of people testing positive for the virus show no symptoms. Backed up by Trumps enemy, Dr Anthony Fauci.

    Right, I'm going to add something to the analogy! He's not a soldier, but someone the soldiers are smuggling out of the enemy country (with his cooperation) and they need him to provide iris and finger-print tests to get through check points. So they have to protect him for their own good

    i agree that the final decisions the PM will make and ultimately will wield that power and that the buck stops with them.

    Advice, whats the best move etc is certainly not because of the PMs knowledge and to suggest that someone cannot take the place of a PM to make those decisions and that the country is going to be dooooooooomed without him isn't somethink believe is correct.

    Anyway, the reality is, he's the PM and part of the elite so he will be getting the best care compared to us plebs

    Huh?

    I really don't think that Johnson's absence will have a negative impact on the government's effectiveness.

    Raab has the intellectual capacity to take over as leader, but changing leader in the middle of a crisis is highly undesirable. Imagine if Churchill had been assassinated in 1941.

    In the video nasties I watch they tend to hack off the fingers and gouge an eyeball out rather than cart the whole human about. I don’t think this information helps though.

    Well even if he recovers he is probably at this moment unconscious and if other cases are anything to go by he’ll be in ITU for ten days. So all that precious knowledge is not available and his colleagues have to step up to the plate.


    No thanks, why would I inflict that tedium on myself, Wokemeister?

    We'll have to disagree on that one. He dominates his hand-picked cabinet

    Yes, they will. I hope they all accept Raab's authority. Hancock and Sunak are already at loggerheads on the way forward

    Well I think discussion of the relative merits of different politicians is one for the politics thread. I really do not have any views on them worth sharing, though I do like the nicknames from the Times.

    I suspect you missed the sarcasm in Strollers post.

    I see the slippery twat Gove has gone into self isolation. He will no doubt come out to an even more luxurious position.
