We must get behind our national leaders

WELL done Michael Gove for his awesome round of interviews over the weekend.

Whilst Boris Johnson and Matthew Hancock had a well-earned rest, Mr Gove was in tip-top form and absolutely right to stand up to the stubborn EU in regards to Britain potentially leaving without a deal and equally right to stand up to a similar bureaucratic institution in the form of Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham.

You really would think that a man with ministerial experience like Mr Burnham would at least understand how lives are being put at risk by people not obeying social distancing rules, as was yet again so obvious over the weekend, yet this man behaves like a cross between a spoilt little public schoolboy still harbouring a silver spoon in his mouth and a left wing union baron intentionally blocking a picket line.

The fact that people were so openly disobeying lockdown advice proves what a laughing stock the Labour Party are with their petty political point-scoring in the midst of a pandemic.

People need to get behind our leaders in our time of an international pandemic.

What’s more, I call upon anyone who is a part of the Christian faith like me to obey the Bible by praying for our leaders, our law enforcers, and all of the fantastic people on the front line, including experts like chief medical officer Chris Whitty and his deputy, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, who are also doing a magnificent job.
