Rock The Boat 1,324 Posted April 6, 2020 This is terrible news, for the country and for the man and his family as well. We all pray that he can pull through and bounce back stronger than ever. To think, just last night there were vile posters on this forum accusing Boris of stealing a hospital bed. I hope they take a long, hard look at themselves. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is very worrying, best of luck to the bloke (on a human level). Yes, Boris may not be everybody's cup of tea but he has an expectant partner who I believe also has the the virus but with mild symptoms. She must be worried sick. Putting aside all the nonsense that comes with what he does for a living I wish him a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As things stand at the moment it rather looks like its the former, which is no great surprise although I did also say that I thought just for once he might be telling the truth.........

Barbe bleu 812 Posted April 6, 2020 Hoping this one is just a hospital being overly cautious with the whole world looking at them and that the suggestions that he is already in a ventilator are groundless speculations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill's posts were absolutely disgraceful in the circumstances, I hope you just can't remember them as the alternative is that you are defending them?

At the 5pm briefing today all reporters raised questions concerning the PM’s condition. In hindsight they were probably aware of the changing situation a lot earlier and were trying to force Rabb to clarify. Which has now happened. Speedy recovery Boris.

You can open a thread without seeing posts from those who are blocked, and I don't know about you but I often open a thread at the last, i.e current page, just to see what the current discussion is about rather than ploughing through all the preceding dross. So I'm struggling to understand what point you are trying to make? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just surprised that you could see the thread in the index at all if it was created by somebody on your ignore list, but I'm not going to test it so I'll take your word for it. But anyway, the reason you don't think there were any offensive posts in that thread is because you have the main culprit on your ignore list. And that poster is now on my ignore list too.

Hillhead 114 Posted April 6, 2020 Yeah for some reason even if you add someone to ignore it will still show the post as normal on the main page. It's only if you click it that it will then show the first response at the top, not the OP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
