Has Boris dropped the Ming vase?

odd behaviour grabbing the phone.

he just needed to say 'that looks terrible, I will get Matt Hancock to investigate'

And the results of the investigation are...

He didn't "need" a bed, there were chairs. His mother decided that he needed a lie down so made a nest for him on the floor. Then took a photograph and decided she wanted 5 minutes of fame.

Are there enough beds in hospitals? No, we need more. Why do we need more? We have more sick people than ever before - some are even native to the UK.

A quick sub note, the lady concerned has now decided that they've had too much media attention - good luck stemming that tide!

Exactly - that's what any competent person would do/say. Boris seems lost though if he is asked to go off script and think for himself, and this surely isn't a good trait for a world leader? I don't think any rational person would blame him directly for the situation the boy was in, but a rational person would expect the leader of the party that has been in control for the past 9 years to take charge of the situation.

Very poor, and free ammunition for the left.

Only a couple of days remaining, and the Ming vase is looking a little bit fragile

Ooo, you was doing so well there for a moment, but you really can't have a say without letting your xenophobia creep in can you? Nearly fella, nearly. Better luck next time

The elephant in the room is that just throwing more money at the NHS will not solve the problem.

Scotland and Wales have devolved health and their per head spending is higher, but their care is no greater.

It's a fact. Some of them are native to the UK.

Still doesn't make your comment less xenophobic. It's a fact.

If anything non-natives (if NHS can be bothered chasing debt) are more likely to be "paying customers", than the "natives".

Where was the "dislike of" or "prejudice against" people from other countries in my statement? If you wish to use the long words then I suggest you understand their meaning.

And without the non-natives in the hospitals the NHS would be in an even bigger tulip state. It's the non-natives that keep the NHS going .... doncha just love irony eh, old man?

Throwing more money at the NHS might not work but providing more money in a well thought out way just might.
