PM should stop behaving like he’s still a columnist

-

I FIND Boris Johnson’s utterance that greed is good and inequality here to stay disgracefu­l! I understand he has apologised. If he were still a third-rate columnist for the Tory press he would probably have got away with such a remark. However it was particular­ly galling coming so close to the Remembranc­e for all the grieving families who had lost loved ones and the pitiful pay rises for some NHS and care staff.

Johnson is no longer a newspaper columnist but PM of the UK and by now he should have learned to engage his brain before opening his jaws. He brings very little dignity to the office of Prime Minister. In fact l cannot think of a worse example in modern times of someone unfit for office yet – ironically aspires to be another Churchill.

I hope his little son Wilfred doesn’t take his dad’s views too seriously when he reads his “Horrible Histories” books!

Photo obsession worry

I AM CONCERNED that our oafish and ridiculous Prime Minister seems to be neglecting affairs of state. I know he is usually involved in many affairs perhaps not all of them to do with the state but his latest craze of having his photograph taken at every opportunit­y worries me.

It is always the same thing as well. There he is lurking in the background while some desperate soul receives a vaccinatio­n. He is always bursting out of his shirt as well (not in the “Incredible Hulk” sense, more like an overstuffe­d sofa sense).

We know that this is of course to associate Bojo with his only triumph of the pandemic but he is guilty of milking it to death.

We get it Boris – your leadership caused the vaccines all over the world to be invented and if it wasn’t for you then 30 million people wouldn’t have been vaccinated. All those scientists, NHS nurses and volunteers responsibl­e for developing the vaccines and actually performing the vaccinatio­ns really need to be associated with Bojo. Of course if it hadn’t been for him then 126,000 people would not have died.

Maybe an independen­t inquiry would allow a few more photo ops. I wonder why he is reluctant to set a date for one.

RIP Frank, style icon

I ONCE saw Frank Worthingto­n, Les

Chapman and Jimmy Lawson strolling through town opposite side of the road whilst I was waiting for my bus outside Mac fisheries.

They were all smartly dressed in three-piece suits with flared trousers with Frank leading the way.

I wanted to shout out ‘ey up

Frank’ but I was so gobsmacked that my mouth had dried up.

Rest easy Frank, amazing footballer and godfather of the Huddersfie­ld style council!
