It is total BS - you know the old saying, don't believe everything you read in the paper.

In terms of infections in Europe, Sweden is a middle of the road country, nothing more or nothing less. Their situation is not relevant to what's happening in the UK where your numbers of deaths are the highest in Europe. To use them as an example to say Johnson has done a good job is purely wrong.

Don’t get that it’s a witch hunt Bob, why no mainstream media coverage of a labour MP travelling who actually had symptoms, but a 5 day feeding frenzy on a man who possibly did.
It’s become a journalistic vendetta against Cummings, not for what he did or didn’t do, I’m not going down that road again but for who he is, have a look at the BBC coverage for example and remember the BBC were pro remain and subliminally wanted a labour victory in the last election and they hold Cummings responsible for both results going against their agenda.
Wether it’s right or wrong what he did, is now irrelevant it’s all about destroying a man’s reputation, and life to score points, and I’d say the same if it was a labour advisor who had screwed up, it’s not politics anymore it’s a journalists playing with someone’s life and that cannot be right.

I’m not saying Johnson’s done a good or bad job it was about Sweden’s rising infection rate which per capita at the current time is overtaking us, Spain and most other European countries who had total or partial lockdown and I said the results of which way countries went won’t be available till the dust settles.

I’m sure Russia Today covered it thoroughly but all I get when I google him is about how he stepped down from his position because he was recovering from being in a coma.

Let’s be honest mate, if it was a LIEBOUR adviser you would be baying for blood and demanding his immediate sacking.

Wait until you see today’s excess deaths update. It proves what a great job Johnson has done.

Again assuming you know what I would do or wouldn’t do, maybe I would but that doesn’t mean that the media should have the right to destroy people’s lives just to sell a story.
