I know Boris was supposed to have told the occasional fib and had a snifter of port during lockdown but I missed the bit were he involved us in a war based on lies which led to thousands of deaths, both militarily and innocent civilians! But that seems to have been erased from memories!
Also I believe Blair is the largest grossing ex PM in our history for activities after they left office. Wasn?t he even touting himself around as some sort of Middle Eastern peace envoy as well?

U make him sound like a naughty boy. He was supposedly a statesman. Blair is verging on a war criminal and is a self aggrandising narcissist.

But Johnson made decisions that affected millions of lives during the pandemic that also led to deaths.

Compared to war monger Blair then that’s what Boris was.
Decisions that nobody knew would be right or wrong, anyhow hindsight is wonderful, but glad you recognise Blair for what he is, very probably a war criminal!

But then you are judging Blair with hindsight. Maybe he was working based on supposedly accurate info from an ally and making decisions that no one whether they would be right or wrong..

His PM stipendiary goes into his institute to help developing countries, wonder where Boris' goes!

[Mr Mercury]

The pandemic was a once in a century event. Panic aplenty. The choice of Blair was supposedly based on accurate intel.

[The Earl of Chesterfield]

Remembering our friend 'Mr M' voted for Blair three times, then Brown and Miliband and Corbyn.

And now defends the Netanyahu cited for war crimes by the UN.

But hey, the bloke who partied whilst cramming vulnerable pensioners into infected care homes, squandered billions on useless T&T schemes, chucked multi millions at mates for equally useless contracts before being kicked out of office by his own party when they got sick of lying on his behalf is still his hero...

Yes I did, likewise I voted for Corbyn, but I?ve looked back on my choices and realise I was wrong? Do you? I own the error of my ways! Do you?
Erm defend Netanyahu? That?s a broad statement, you?ll have to be clearer.
And Boris still my hero? Over the likes of Starmer, yep you?re 100% right, I?ll give you that!

I voted corbyn and I wish he was in charge now, a proper kind humanitarian imo, probably his major flaw as a politician

Not sure whether I am surprised or not that a corbyn Supporter is shouting for capital punishment...

If he was still in charge now, labour would be a protest party with no chance of winning the election and an idiot like Johnson might be winning again.

It's no surprise that the worst govt ever came about when we perhaps had the worst opposition ever...

I am a school trustee, their biggest problem is teachers taking early retirement, there is a solution to that..

The other problem is they spend too little time teaching and too much dealing with issues of the day - rewriting curriculums to not promote racism or the white view, deciding how to deal with the transgender issue, dealing with the ever increasing number of SEND students.

Ps allowing them.to leave without reimbursement is madness, and would never be sanctioned in the private sector... I had to repay my training costs if I left too soon after taking exams...

I know, I am a teacher. However, in 12 years of teaching at two different schools I don't know any teacher that has taken their pension early. They have left early, the main reasons being the workload and the appalling attitude of the kids and the abuse they received.

You could argue Tory leaders were incompetent whereas Labour leaders were nasty.

Or Tory leaders were incompetent and nasty and Labour's leader was naive...

I am in year 3 as a trustee and so third summer of staff changes - and now on staff members 4 and 5 retiring. Which is about as high as those leaving for better jobs. Mind it is a fab academy in a great city with generally well behaved students and great academic results....

As in the corporate world, sadly you tend to get the best staff flocking to the schools that need them the least...
