Johnson demands Britain 'Build, build, build' to beat COVID-19 slump

"We cannot continue simply to be prisoners of the crisis," Johnson said. "We must work fast because we've already seen the vertiginous drop in GDP and we know that people are worried now about their jobs and their businesses."

His message, delivered at a college in the central English town of Dudley, was overshadowed by the announcement of a new lockdown in Leicester, just 50 miles away, where COVID-19 infections are surging.

More mixed messages from a government. How are people supposed to build, build, build when they are barely allowed within a few feet of each other?

Just the other day the mayor of Leicester expressed skepticism about the severity of the pandemic is his city, so the government slaps him down with a lockdown.

Guess there won't be much building in Leicester for a while.

I thought it would be hard for governments to take duplicity to a new level, but they push the boundaries every day.

The idiot also said, 'Britain should clap not just to show appreciation for NHS workers, but also “wealth creators, capitalists and financiers”'

Not sure about financiers, but what's wrong with celebrating the people who create wealth?

Despite the popular leftie image of wealth creators as fat old geezers wearing a monocle and top hat and chomping on a cigar while perched upon a pile of cash and gold, wealth creators are also the hard-working men and women in medium and small businesses who provide jobs. Without these people, how are you going to put food on the table and have a decent standard of living? And many other are the people who make the stuff the NHS uses to provide their services.

"Palpably false"

That man is a guignol
