War criminal,this man lies puted 1000000 eastern europian man dead,the same puppet bring Brexit because of them,then he decides to fight Russia until last Ukranian
No they just wanted not to work
The karma and heartache these psychopathic arseholes have created and caused they will be punished, they even called a variant OMICRON which is an anagram of MORONIC which basically means they're calling people in society stupid idiotic fools it's sick…
A complete non answer
What a liar. He chose to listen to the pair of frauds he choose. There were plenty of other, equally well qualified, who advised the opposite. He has blood on his hands for this and tge Ukraine war. 😡💩👹
Best priminister britain ever had still mourning of his exit by his backstabbing so colled collaques 😢
Woah he is making a huge assumption. We expected our government to keep us safe. It failed … he failed …
The queen 👑 respected the Lock 🔒 down rules. 🤔 Prince Philip had quiet 🤫 words in Hereford about another matter. 🤔 Who is going to buy lance corporal Bodgers book. He needs to get back into his ww3 sandpit. Personal opinion. No hard feelings, but why can't we find your COVID whatsapps when we can find whatsapps. 🤔🤫😹 Getting the special forces to try and invade the Netherlands. 😮😹
Traitor
I agree everything Boris said. The British public was actually pathetic
Is there a question about why they ignored all previous policy on dealing with a pandemic?
He is quite right about that. I was in the UK in March 2020 and the British people were indeed craving regulation at that time.
There was a lot of uncertainty and confusion prevailing amongst the people at that time.
Well he ain’t wrong, most people seemed to love being told what to do. Incapable of making their own decisions on what’s safe and what isn’t lol
Want an example of lying body language….. look no further
People need to ask themselves if it was sooo dangerous how come this lot werent scared?
The media made the public crave it. Sky News were complicit.
Boris for PM 2024…..
Of course he's right. I'm a doctor of 41 years experience, and when patients are scared, they crave absolute certainty in the rules they're 'supposed' to follow
Totally Classless Person…..
They did crave it I was there and saying no, they called me names for calling it our
People were gagging for lockdown. Boris began by very sensibly promoting herd immunity. He was immediately told, by the precious, fretting, self obsessed public to lock down. Conveniently short memories.
Like he would know what " most people wanted" . Words cannot describe how I feel about this man, as nothing he did surprised me. Rotten to the core.
He’s right. “Lock me down harder daddy” was the cry from much of the public. Suddenly everyone wanted a totalitarian state. It was bizarre and insane. He should not have kowtowed to it though.
Why give airtime to this priven liar? I 'craved' freedom and normality, not a police state.
"Rabbinical" , he's one of them.
He is mocking us, for his masters, the bankin gdynasties that run the world
Sheep loved the vaccines 😅
When will the MSM be holding to account all the labour wokearatti and others who took part in the racist BLM riots in 2020 ? The rest of us were in lockdown.
Yep, people seem to like being controlled by liars.
He mocked the public because they didn’t expect it to be so easy. They didn’t expect people to lap up the BS so willingly. Hancock was the same , pretending to shed tears, he was laughing at everyone because the majority bought his lies.
How can anyone believe this lieing oompah loompa
Boris's tyranny locked us down. He was the worst PM ever apart from Blair.
He's right.😊
Important to ask him about many mistake he had done ,but he did some good too
I remember people acting like fascists the minute we went into lockdown. People COULDN’T WAIT to start reporting their neighbours for socialising, condemning people for not being in their bubbles.
I’m not a Tory, I don’t like him, but I do remember this man being reluctant to jump on the lockdown band wagon and the press criticised for this.
Please don’t y’all forget how quickly y’all were stock piling toilet roll.
He’s telling the truth, people wanted this.
regulation should have been on the big V
It wasn't a mockery but a mere observation that others had, too. The UK society is used to being told what to do and how to do it. They like order. 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
Anyone who understood the science of a contagion and exponential growth desperately wanted a worldwide hard and fast lockdown to prevent this awful virus becoming ubiquitous in the human population. Once this happened it was forever impossible to go back and now we must live with Covid-19 for the rest of time.
Also we understood that a properly controlled hard lockdown would stop the virus in its tracks thus reducing the need for subsequent lockdown measures further down the line. This would have been better for businesses and the economy in the long term so even from a purely capatalist point of view, a quick and thorough worldwide lock down response to covid-19 was the correct course of action if we as a worldwide human population could have achieved it, which of course we never could and probably never will when a future pandemic strikes.
I loved locked down.
He's correct
Ah the man who put a sex offender in a position of power then lied about it. Thats why he lost his job partygate was just icing on the cake
Alcoholics can't be trusted ,they are everywhere in all the currupt war mongering fake governments and all there systems
Wow
He's right that people want to be compliant and if presented with a reason to panic they will be totally subservient and beg for authoritarian measures
He's completely correct – the amount of pathetic people at the time that craved the gov to lock them up was truly embarrassing and cringe.
No less full of bs than he was in office.
