      IIRC after he got Covid and had a pretty terrible bout with it he actually changed his tune and did something about it. Trump was getting experimental treatments and could barely stand/breathe (remember that ridiculous “show of strength” he did from a balcony?), refused to correct course.

      He may be “well educated” in some definition of that term, but obviously not in any reality-relevant topic.

        Yeah, people think “smart” is a point on a linear scale from “stupid” to “educated”. In Germany we say “Fachidioten” (“subject idiots”) for people that are well versed in a subject, but idiots otherwise. You can study something, even be good in that and still talk bullshit. Heck, you might spout bullshit despite good education in the topic. Knowingly and unknowingly.

    Mr Cummings gave more details on his claim that Mr Johnson had to be stopped from going to see Queen Elizabeth II in person on March 18 - five days before the first lockdown was announced. He said No10 officials were prepared to prevent him getting into his car. “He rejected our advice,” Mr Cummings wrote. “I was desperate and said something like, ‘If you’ve got Covid and you kill the Queen you’re finished’. [No10 adviser] Cleo [Watson] said she would not let him get in the car. He agreed not to go.”

    Pathologically selfish people struggle with the whole concept of taking care of others, and should not be running countries.

        No no, that’s ketamine, you’re thinking of the horse dewormer ivermectin.

        And yes yes I know it’s used for humans as well, but the reich-wingers were getting it from veterinary suppliers since you can’t get the human version without a prescription. The idiots didn’t come to think that the dose used for horses is much bigger than what’s used for humans so they took ridiculously high doses, shat out their gut lining and thought that was a sign it was helping.

    2016 was the year that America and Britain were in a contest to see which country was dumber, at the time it was believed that America would win, Britain seemed like they were ahead, but America had a trump card.

    Fuck TERF Island

      I give the point to America, because they have at least managed to vote out their idiot. Something Britain still needs to do.

        Yeah, but the idea of the Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election will forever be a conspiracy theory believed by idiots. Even though it’s the weakest one considering Chump is one of the most unpopular incucumbents in US History

    While I know the internet loves to shit on Boris I will say that this is mirror.co.uk, which is a pretty lousy newspaper, so can hardly be trusted.

      Johnson has been vaccinated against COVID several times, and it was on the news at the time. He is publicly pro-vaccine.

      The hairdryer thing was probably before vaccines were available, although this article does not make that clear.
