'The face that launched thousands deaths’

[SueEllen]

"If only the quotes hadn’t been so magnetic; as the Daily Mail has reported, the prime minister bemoaned to aides that Carrie Symonds’s gold wallpaper was “costing tens and tens of thousands … I cannot afford it”. Reading this in a script, a diligent editor would say, “Why is he having that conversation with an aide? Why can’t he talk directly to his girlfriend about whether they have tens of thousands in their bank account?” Their relationship suddenly looks somewhat darker and much less relatable."

****ing POS can't even provide Carrie with decent life, so much for 400k per year ToryGraph gig when he was a mayor, where did all his money go, how can somebody with money problems have a top security clearance?

No idea if the story is true or not but even if it is, we all get angry and blow our top sometime and say things we shouldn't say. The important thing is that he said it in a private situation, not in some public forum. Who has offended the people who have lost loved ones in the pandemic? It was those who leaked it!

It clearly wasn't private enough

The English electorate don't give a fk what Boris does. He could go out on the pull at a school disco with Prince Andrew and they would just say 'he's such a character is our Boris'

Exactly, he's well known for picturesque hyperbole which shouldn't necessarily be taken literally.

What is more annoying is when he is uninhibited with tax payers' money, such as HS2 and futile test and trace (or the trace part anyway)

Ok, so given 120k dead from Covid-19 (of which around 60,000 would be after his alleged words) what do you thin Boris means in his “picturesque hyperbole“ of having thousands dead?
