Well I'm no fan of Johnson, but that was pretty spectacular.

Top man indeed.

God, I love this country (Union Jack).
I think it’s cool that our PM is running to catch the train to West London where Cummings lives. Can you imagine the US President doing that? Fair play to him for being a bit normal.
 
I'm ashamed to live in a country that would consider Johnson a worthy leader.
Look just because the only train you and and your mate Corbyn would run for is the Siberian express doesn’t mean that some of us aren’t proud of our country. You are sounding like Watford.

That is so cool. Nearly makes me forget all the negligence leading to tens of thousands of totally avoidable deaths.

What really would have been impressive is Johnson borrowing money from one of his aides and helping a few beggars on his way to the train. :emoticon-0136-giggl
 
I felt the same about Blair when he bombed children in Iraq.
Usual suspects forget their history, or don’t know it :eek:
It’s okay to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people if you are Labour in some illegal war but if it’s a pandemic and you are Tories? Saturday morning idiots are up.

Has anyone said that was ok?

For someone so intent on ‘moving on’ and not dwelling on the “mistakes” of the past you bring up a bloke who hasn’t been Prime Minister for 14 years quite a bit.

When did you see another leader run for a train? Trump? Macron? Merkel
On Thursday I was talking to my mate having lunch in the sun and even he said (not a Tory) that he was fed up of people moaning about everything that Boris does. I agreed and said they are pathetic.
Sadly Goldie, there is a small amount who will just moan about Boris. He will never do anything right in their eyes. Most of them are the same fools who supported that anti-Semite loser Jezza by the way.
Even a fab story of the PM running for a train incites their hatred. Fortunately they are a small minority on social media and the vast majority of the public find this as quite cool. Let them all cry in their bitter little existence.

Goldie It won’t be long before you get the anti-Boris mob saying ‘he didn’t show his ticket’, ‘he didn’t pay for a ticket’... quick let’s tell the Guardian.

I guess the point is that many on the Left feel disenfranchised. Corbyn not only failed in the GE, he's been suspended from the Labour party. So far, Starmer is not the man around which the Left can rally. Labour are anti Britain, anti white and anti working class. The Left have no direction and at the moment, no hope of power, so negativity is all that's left to them.
