Boris is fiddling while the UK is burning

BORIS Johnson is coming across as a modern-day Nero. Boris: crisis, what crisis?

He really needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

According to Boris, this problem is only interim and will level itself out. The question is what happens in the meantime?

Irrespective of how long this crisis will last, more and more people will suffer and be dragged into poverty.

We keep hearing the same old rhetoric from Boris and his government ministers that people on poorly paid jobs should be applying for one of the 1 million job vacancies.

People who work in an unskilled environment are part of a huge gearbox and without the small gears the gearbox would not function.

Just because these workers are possibly doing a mundane job they are very much entitled to a living wage.

My forecast for the future is high unemployment, an increase in poverty, social unrest and mass demonstrations.
