I do find it rather distasteful that the man in question used his daughters illness to give Boris some public abuse , which is what you are also doing . Using the young girls illness to give Boris some abuse . Are you concerned about the girls condition and well being ? Maybe you could inquire about how she is , rather than standing shoulder to shoulder with the man and attacking Boris? Boris attempted to garner some good press exposure by walking around a hospital, it back fired on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that wherever Johnson now appears in public, it will backfire on him unless it's a Trump style rally with a handpicked audience. People have sussed him out. He's done. I can't wait for the GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that understand the distinction between truth and lies have sussed him, he still has support from those who haven’t and those who don’t care about the truth.

Yes the Tory front bench (with the elimination of Remainer elements) is essentially pro Brexit now though Labour's front bench position is much less clear, constructive ambiguity being the watchword. How could it be otherwise with Corbyn being a life long Euro sceptic - not to mention the influence of his public school educated Marxist advisers. But returning to the question of the Establishment position, it is flying in the face of facts to suggest the key players are other than fervent Remainers.Yet somehow the bizarre belief has developed that the Brexit movement is one led by the Establishment. So let's remind ourselves who are the fervent Remainers: The City Financial Sector Most by far of British business The universities and academia Most of the House of Lords and House of Commons London Most of the media The educated middle class Though the Brexit movement has some high profile Etonians and hedgefunders, it is very far from being an Establishment movement.

John Humphreys - who has just ended more than 30 years on the BBC Today programme - feels that BBC management can simply not understand why any rational person should want Brexit. They may be right (I am a Remainer) but the blinkers regarding more than half of their fellow citizens illustrates the gravity of the problem.Why does someone who takes a different view have to be mad?

rickudon Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The NHS is not perfect, and with any service paid for out of taxation you cannot expect the same service as you would get if you pay for it up front. But try getting a doctor at a private hospital during the night! My own recent NHS experience - referred by my GP to a cancer clinic, appointment offered in under 7 days, couldn't make that, new appointment just 2 days later. diagnosed as a possible skin cancer and operated on 2 hours later. Didn't cost me a penny. Now that's service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true.I didn't mention that because Labour voters aren't usually thought of as part of the Establishment.Interesting while we're at it that older less educated people of both main parties tended to be Brexit.
