Boris Johnson 8pm televised address - official match thread

[Bozza]

I simply think people should take responsibility for the results of what they voted for.

It's the 21st century disease 'I have rights, I have opinions, but I have no responsibility' (but that's for another day )

'I had no choice, I was forced' Maybe you've recognised we have a major problem with our 'democracy' and supported proportional representation all along and I've just missed it ?

So you’re holding up your hands and taking responsibility for pursuing Corbyn as a viable PM candidate?

Well done. I can’t imagine others of your ilk being man enough. They tend to disappear when the going gets tough. Another thing they have in common with Boris.

 

[WATFORD zero]

What makes you think people need to take responsibility? People who voted for Blair are not required to take responsibility for the Iraq War. I voted Boris because of Brexit. I disagree with some parts of his handling of Covid and support other parts. It is possible to disagree with someone you vote for and I would vote the same way again.

Then you prioritised Brexit over all other reasons to elect a government to run the country for 5 years (and you weren't alone in that). That is your decision and it is your responsibility for putting him into power for 5 years.

I voted Blair (one of the few times I have voted Labour) take full responsibility for what they did, and would defend the same decision on the same information at the time again

So he’ll move us into Tier 5. “Urge” everyone to stay home but not enforce it, then in a fortnight he’ll finally get a clue and put us into a proper lockdown. That he still won’t enforce. He usually follows the rest of the U.K. about a fortnight after they decide to do the right thing.

without brexit?

Depends upon whether or not the other parties campaign on rejoining. It’s up to them.
All other things being equal I would prefer to vote Labour. I’m not sure they would have been better on Covid though.

You do know we don't have a two party system ?

But yes, I take responsibility for what I do (even if it's rare)

I am sorry as dinner with the family calls, but this is the reason I joined NSC

Thanks Bozza (even if we very rarely agree)

How exactly are you taking responsibility? Sounds quite grand. The overall result is all that matters not your contribution to it. And yes I am happy with my vote and reasons for it.

Well Laura's coat was interesting my eyes kept dropping to her buttons

21 i reckon.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Hopefully this time round the uber-libertarian Boris will be forced by wiser heads to make the restrictions compulsory, with sanctions that will be enforced (and without the police being allowed to say they are too busy!).

Tens of thousands been marching for their "freedom" what to do with these nutjobs?

Forced to work on Covid wards without masks and PPE ?

 

[dangull]

Dan Burn should self isolate for a few weeks, so it can calm down some Sussex residents ?

Perhaps he sends monthly donations to UNHCR helping Iraqi refugees ...

I am going to throw a curve ball in and say WIFF WAFF.

 

[darkwolf666]

I wonder if the numerous mockers and sneerers on NSC would instantly solve the problem of Covid should they somehow become (gawd help us all) PM overnight?

No they wouldn't, nobody could, but it seems many here and elsewhere can and could see the blindingly obvious long long before the Prime Minister...

Why's he wearing a dress for the nation at 8?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Betty Boothroyd embarrassed herself a little there on Sky. A good example of people overwhelmed by their dislike of Boris

 

[A1X]

So we’re moving to tier 5 of the 3 tiered system?
