SO Boris thinks that some agencies might have been too slow to act when the virus was first seen in the UK. This seems to me something that my family used to say: “ The kettle calling the pot ‘grimy a*se’!”
He did not bother to chair any of the Cobra meetings, when the virus first started to affect us! Perhaps his senior advisor used his foresight to know when he had to intervene, sorry forgot he had eyesight problems!
Now we see Stanley Johnson travelling to Greece via Bulgaria to his villa which is in urgent need for Covid precautions. This was a devious route as Greece was not allowing UK visitors!
It would appear yet again there is one law for the Johnson family and advisors, who can ignore the FCO advice not to travel.
No doubt the subservient ministers and our local MPs will follow the party line and find an excuse to justify the visit. However, it looks like Greece is not to be on the list of countries that we can return from without 14 days quarantine so hopefully when Stanley returns to the UK, he will be put in quarantine, preferably on the Tower of London.
