‘We need a vaccine to protect us from Boris Johnson’ – Yorkshire Post Letters

EVERYONE has their opinion on Boris Johnson but his idea of him being the ideal PM beats me.

Starting from the day Boris became PM, he has lied and misled the country.

David Cameron found out he could not do it and packed it in, while Theresa May was hounded out by Boris and his cronies.

What are we left with? A raving loony who can’t answer questions and thinks he has a right to do what he wants. He has a lot of deaths that have been made by his mistakes of being late on everything he has been advised on and trying to take all the plaudits from what the NHS staff have done.

Boris has made us the laughing stock of the world and is more dangerous than any virus or climate change – but we can’t have an injection for him.

IN his letter “Dire predictions of Brexit have not come true”, Tony Galbraith (The Yorkshire Post, January 5) claims that, one year on, Brexit has been “so far, so good” on the basis that things could have been a lot worse.

I could pull apart all his claims. For example, nobody forecast there would be “100-mile queues of HGVs on the approaches to Dover”.

However I want to take issue with Mr Galbraith’s comments on Northern Ireland, particularly his quote that “Northern Ireland would be the price of Brexit” that he attributed to an unnamed “senior EU official”.

The quote is not true. It comes from a post on social media in March 2018 of a speech by the then Secretary-General of the European Commission, Martin Selmayr. The English subtitles were deliberately mistranslated to make it appear Mr Selmayr’s said: “The price of Brexit will be Northern Ireland”.

It prompted the chief spokesperson of the European Commission, Margaritis Scinas, to issue the statement: “The sentence attributed to the EU Commission Secretary General is fake and pure misinformation, spread maliciously.”

BEVERLEY MP Graham 
Stuart has really scraped the barrel with his recent claim on Sky that Remainers are responsible for Boris Johnson’s recent woes, following the revelations about parties 
having taken place at 
Downing Street when the country was under lockdown restrictions.

I wonder if Graham Stuart 
MP will now blame Remainers for bad weather?
