Despized. Hated.
Go now from our sight and never darken our door again.
@mochan8447
He needs to defend all this tripe because someone else ghosted his book.
@hackett152332
Hate this man
@nickslife7670
Boris Johnson is a muppet
@realm8286
One of the things that made hate this guy was when a father called a show and told how he had to choose about 10 people for his sons funeral while this guy was partying during COVID.
@TM-yr3pc
Nonsense. Indiscriminate extended lockdowns became an act (by govt, civil service and scientific bodies) of political cowardice in the full knowledge that lockdowns would be politically and professionally expedient but the costs and consequences borne by future administrations.
@ponderingspirit
Lockdown was different. Many of us found this change novel and interesting.
@leegosling
People wanted to help their neighbours… not to be controlled… what a buffoon! Self centred narcissistic sociopaths didn’t get that… the world is probably better now that they are now mostly visible in their contempt for everyone else but themselves.

Saved lives why criticize?
@Gobelma53
He was a bad pm but he’s not wrong for saying this
@georgefirth
Fear drove it. Fear created by the government, media and ‘experts’.
@herewego_g
We want decision making. Not political correctness
@paultweedley2026
"Most people wanted regulation and they wanted to be told what to do " oh dear Boris, yes that made sence for the first three or even six months of national lockdowns but to go on and on and on for another 18 months after that was absolutely ridiculous and catastrophic for the UK economy and national wellness, Boris was meant to be in charge but acctually I think it was his stupid wife pulling the strings of power, her and the stupid Starmer and medical officer in Downing street risk overse l would say, Boris had the right ideas but he was to cowardly and weak to implement them! ( taking the Swedish route and opening up after 6 months l mean.
@christopherwhittaker2620
He’s just a slippery lying hypocrite. He’s nothing more than a posh burst pillow.
@viv8117
Of course we craved the rules we were frightened. Boris is good. Replace starmer with Boris.
@clarereynolds9607
I didn't want it, I couldn't pay my rent..I'm self employed and no..I didn't claim any money from them, wish I had cos I'm buggered now.
@kate-yk8gv
I didn't
@buzzin010
I don’t know if people understand that that’s how we defend a population against a bio weapon or what
@ripvanwinkle3509
People were open to the idea of being under house arrest (because that's what it was) based on thinking there was a threat to their lives and their family's lives. Had they been told the truth, things would doubtless have been different for many.
@Tagomago12
The news cycle at the time led the less free thinking people to adopt tyrannical rules and attitudes, sky news being a prime culprit and now they are having a go at Boris for pointing this out. The MSM is a tool used to hide behind for the elites ruling class that line their pockets to the detriment of the country.
@pollyannakarina
Jail for Bunter.
@Gillemear
Really? People wanted leadership in a time of catastrophe! Who would have guessed? (I suppose coming from a guy who feels rules are for the unwashed masses and not himself, it would come as a shock!)
@wildskel6350
Liar d0ing s0me m0re lying.
@Burglar-King
What made ME want lockdown was my mid 80s parents, my fear, the fact that Italy was losing a lot of people and begging other countries to follow lockdown rules, Johnson talking about herd immunity, my newborn grandson having covid at just 4 weeks old, my friend in hospital, another friend collapsing. The list goes on…my uncle dying, an old friend my age dying. What more did this cretinous prime minister need. They were a bunch of arrogant, hypocritical twits. I wish I knew this before.
@Heygoodlooking-lk9kg
The government didn't seem to want the rules for themselves,,,, Bojo has learned nothing,,,, he still has brown shoulders
@timhull8664
If Boris thinks ppl wanted to stay at home for a disease that killed 2% of those it infected, he is mis informed.r
@oldschool3670
Vile… I have pure hatred for that
@JonathanSelamb
Only stupid people wanted lockdowns
@beyondlimits697
Perfect attitude 👌 spot on!
@pauledwards5954
BS johnson should be given the vax in public
@patriciagleve4784
we wanted then what we want now – truth and transparency in government.
@Coco-ny5wh
He is right, though. I remembered being heavily pregnant and so scared of this unknown virus affecting me and my baby (37 weeks when lockdown 1 started in march 2020) that i didnt understand why the wasnt doing more and stopping all life basically! Lol, i feel felt different when more information came out. A lot of us acted out of fear of the unknown
@seanmeehan-js5kh
He is a buffoon. Weak-minded politicians are detested these days, even hated.
@tonyschiavone950
Those who were lazy n getting paid lots of money wanted lockdown forever! They played the game, the lefty loons in charge of making medical decisions based on guess work models told BJ n his 2 medical chronies what to do. But after 3 months nothing added up no one was listening i protected myself so i carried on living n working to earn a wage and pay my bills.
@louisgworld
He's right. I remember being surrounded by lockdown believers.
@onenote6619
Boris Johnson is a serial liar. He says what suits him in the moment. If that means saying that grass is green, he will say that. Not because it is right, but because it benefits him directly.
