300 years ago he wouldn't have been allowed to milk a cow
I was there in the hearing room listening to this and he was a horrible witness as he was prime minister
UK is ranked 7th in European countries for population density, not second. He really does have a remote and passing relationship with truth and facts.
He lied about the EU almost every day when he was PM . We in the EU got used to it, even found it funny after a while ...... it's a joke, Joyce.😂
People lost jobs, lives, and more. Got arrested for not wearing masks..OUTSIDE!! Arrest HIM!
I totally agree. He is the worst sort of criminal
He has blood on his hands.
The biggest mistake was putting a person in charge who is clearly incompetent, and cannot understand basic expert advice on management of epidemics.
The selection process for the job of PM that chose this goose is also to blame.
If that man doesn't get jailed,is there any point in having law .
He's still telling lies can't they see that once a liar always a liar.
I’m bewildered that he was allowed anywhere near the highest office in the land.
So he could take the blame for BREXIT and the COVID response away from the Tory Party.
How else could the Tories have made any money off it and then expect to distance themselves from the flack.
He believed and still does he is special and above the law! His narcissistic sociopathic personality disorder means telling lies and gaslighting means nothing to him, he has no real,capacity for empathy or compassion in any way, his overriding interest is and always has been in himself, he needs narcissistic supply to survive he cannot accept anything else but being special and entitled, despite his pretence of apology and humility the man is a self serving monster!
A lie dector should be fitted during the cross examination it would e going crazy
‘I looked at all this stuff’ Stuff? Stop right there.
Factory Reset on a phone bewildered Boris. He has never heard of such a thing. You really can’t make this up 😂
An education in the classics isn't a skill set required to run a country in a pandemic or a country for that matter.
Especially when that's all you've got.
@@patmcguirk5299And when you more or less fail that degree and your father has to go in to Oxford University to negotiate some kind of pass for you.
What on earth are you talking about? Bunter received an upper 2nd (hardly a failure) and there is no eveidence, I have been able to see, to suggest his father had to negoiate 'some form of pass for him'. How does that actually work and what evidence do you have to even suggest that occured?@@Peter-ud9bx
How in Gods name did the bible not catch on fire.....
Will these tories be charged for what they did to the British people after these hearing.
There are no consequences to anything he takes responsibility for or admits so why should he care.
So does the KC. Makes you wonder what the purpose of the whole exercise was/is? Entertainment for the masses? eta He's using the word 'twigged' to appear more normal.
The app story, blows the Barnard castle lie right out of the park.
This man made lying acceptable, now they all do it
They don't care as the systematic destruction of our free speech will completely remove all criticism.
Sounds like perjury to me!
I HAVE WATCHED THESE VIDEOS ON THIS FARCE I HAVE SEEN MATT HANCOCK LITERALLY FIGHTING NOT TO SMIRK AND SMILE AND NOW THIS SOULESS JOKER IS BEHAVING THE SAME. THE WHOLE THING IS JUST ONE BIG JOKE TO ALL OF THESE SOULESS PEOPLE BUT I TELL YOU ALL THIS THESE SOULESS PEOPLE WONT BE LAUGHING ON D DAY
What if he's not a liar? What if he's just unbelievably, laughably and criminally incompetent? It could, of course, be both.
Every village has a clown, except one at the moment, as He's in court, the Gallows await, if only ..............
I saw brilliantly, talented people....
Partying !!!!!!!!
There are no key moments in justifying total incompetence.
Boris has the remarkable ability to say sorry & yet it comes across as FARR KORF..
What the inquiry should be investigating is the state of Boris's finances at the time of the outbreak of covid. This throws light on why he missed vital Cobra meetings and his flippant attitude at the time towards the virus. Truth beknown, Boris was more concerned over personal matters - a tax bill to settle at the end of January and divorce proceedings. Remember, he had to give up his Daily Mail column and after-dinner speeches, and put on hold a book he was writing on Shakespeare due to him being PM. IMO the stresses I mention influenced his attitude and decisions at that time which ultimately resulted in the slow response to the pandemic.
Stopped watching when the response to Johnson's spurious reasons for the UK's poor performance during covid was edited out. I listened to it live, and the response was that actually we performed comparably with Bulgaria, which Johnson refused to say was not really a comparable Western European country, and to his excuse that the UK has a high population density and high proportion of elderly citizens, the response was that South Korea has more elderly people, a higher population density, and had far fewer covid deaths.
Mr Keith repeatedly read out scientific evidence from highly reputable sources and Johnson flatly contradicted them with zero evidence.
Looks like this is edited to make Johnson look less awful.
How do you lose 5000 whats app messages from one account, but not any others, mmm tricky question, and the only answer is to of deleted them,
First lie of the day…
‘I am glad to be at this inquiry’
The public paid for his lawyers in this case!!
I'm bewildered how on the face of it supposedly intelligent people ever thought this man was fit to lead his party let alone the country
where's susan michie in all this?
I don't listen to him.
Instead I count the number of times he Smirks, or tries to hide a Smirk.
Remember, he's talking about dead and dying people and their families.
And he still Smirks.
Does anybody else remember their WhatsApp going down around then?
And the lies go on. He will never change. What is good for him in any moment in time is all he cares about. Worse PM ever. Along with Truss. And Sunak. And Cameron. Oh, and May with her comedy clown shoes. At least she made me laugh. 😮😢
Now he is a
Bewilder beast.
Crossing to their calving grounds across africa
shake hands into fists, to gesture ocularly show vigorously oh noooo
If you commit a crime the police can get any deleted messages from your phone including whats app so the met is covering for him
Mr Johnson did you actually give a flying f>>>k.???
I don't remember.... of course, after all that booz and partying you have a small problem with your memory. I feel for you pain.
How many No 10 employees got COVID as a result of the breaches? Does anyine know?
Yeah but,no but will there be any consequences..? Nah,carry on nothing to see here, move on.
Is it me or any of us who ever did a factory reset we have to confirm how many times are you sure you want to erase… is his phone special provided by MI6 with special reset or is his phone like the rest of us!
Are Johnson and Trump really twins that were seperated at birth, their similarities are indeed remarkable.
All Boris good bits what else should we expect from Murdock press
Twigged.
Anyone who's sat with a hairstyle like that is defin1itely "bewildered" when will that stop ? Not until his hair leaves his head for good
Pinnocio boris.
So glad I let this obviously trustworthy government make me take an untested vacation
It's painful to watch!! Just a couple of observations of a possible many - they didn't attach enough credence to the forecasts i.e. the science, but were supposedly following the science.... And it's interesting how he reverts to a "collective" responsibility when he says he alone accepts full responsibility.
Seems the only accusations to be brought against Boris is that he doesn't meet some undefined standard of empathy or his language isnt to someones taste
No! his crime is being a bumbling self seeking narcissistic utter
💥wit.. How he got to high office is a measure of Tory judgement.. 🤦♂️
Are you talking about this video, or in general? Either way, that's a very silly claim - there have been two accusations leveled at him by the 5 minute mark of this video, one of which he's accepted. Neither are about empathy or language.
Did you mean to say that you don't believe the accusations that have been brought against him?
@@JimFarrand I'm talking more generally, I can't say whether I believe any accusations because I don't think it's clear what he's been accused of
Because no-one knows what the right decision would have been it's hard to accuse Boris of making a wrong decision
He was bent over a barrel. He had two hurdles to get over.
1. Keep the public safe
2,. Keep his team/government working in a very difficult and demanding situation.
How he dealt with the public was to ask them to keep apart to stop the spread and keep their families safe.
How he managed his team/ BUBBLE. was to keep them motivated, positive and working in a country that even their families were being effected, in what should have been a closed environment that should have never left No.10. blame the lizard that leaked it. Boris did a good job in an uncertain and demanding situation. Not to forget. He had COVID and carried on with the task while having to watch out for the vultures overhead. Pessimistic Press, other (no better) political parties and his own back stabbing members of his own party!!
No wonder Putin has invaded Ukraine. Because we can't even stand by our own elected leader. For more than five minutes, because we all "THINK" That we all could do it better.
Managing an unanticipated worldwide killer pandemic is so easy, how could the UK government possibly have made any mistakes? Let's keep talking about this for decades.
Would you forgive him no matter how many mistakes he made ?
@@cobbler40 Potentially. One difficulty is that prominent people, many of whom we revere, from previous generations, were just as fault-ridden as the current crop. But they did not have the instant and constant in depth scrutiny of every word spoken, every action, every single thing written in public or private. In addition the general population were generally speaking more forgiving and less demanding of continual and unachievable perfection.
Hands up who's gonna buy Bozo's autobiography
We are group of islands. COVID should have been balked at the airports and ports, instead of bringing in footballers from a COVID hotspot and allowing them and thecfans following them to roam freely,
Ask yourself why Boris Johnson has to go through this circus and nobody else.
Because he was effing PM
He was the PM. The buck stops with him. He was incompetent and he was in charge.
Appallingly bad editing of this video!
