Prime Minister went against his natural instincts when he made face coverings mandatory in shops this week

When he wrote his infamous Telegraph column about Muslim women who wear the burka resembling letterboxes, Boris Johnson made an impassioned case against face coverings while also arguing against an outright burka ban.

He is making a habit of that

Libertarian Views...... are you sure you’re talking about BonkingBoris autocratic and dictatorial are 2 better words to use!

No, he didn't. He was instructed to do it by his Cabal Handler.

EndUKLockdown1 It's another own goal by BorisJohnson.

I see The Telegraph is still pretending that Boris actually made this decision. The media's main job is to convince people that the elected government has the power to make decisions. Their second job is to convince people those decisions are for the greater good.

He's soft as shite that twat. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

A bit like caving into NHS worker visa charges Free school dinners during the summer Schools going back before summer Caving into BLM illegal protests Lack of illegal immigration controls in calais The list goes on and on,Labour/ Unions / MSM & Twitter is creating gov policy

Then he shouldn’t have done it, the sooner it’s lifted the better.

WendyPuerto ‘Against his natural instincts’ - but in line with his Globalist orders.

I guess mandatory knickers will be next.

A 'natural libertarian' who will never actually stand up for liberty-based principles.

No backbone Boris

No he didn't he's a brought and paid for Globalist

He must go. Never voting Tory again.

WendyPuerto Requiring facemasks four months into a pandemic is like requiring a condom at a baby shower. Wear both when required. 10DowningStreet

Perhaps Johnson was drunk when he made the decision! His alcohol problem is clarifying the reason for a plethora of stupid decisions he has made over a lifetime, it seems; but in the last year they have begun to affect more & more people. He should really go!

Lies. He's a prick

...how's Barclay v Barclay going in the courts....funny how what was once a paper of record never mentions it....?

Hes learning new instincts.

EndUKLockdown1 Because he is biggest moron in UK. Not surprisingly.

If this is the case why doesn’t he at least put a time limit on it?

Libertarian values? Is this a joke?

I'm doing some research for my MSc... Get your voice heard on 'NHS Contact Tracing and related HM Government Communications' research covid coronavirus lockdown contacttracing

We need a new leader. BorisJohnson has the right ideas but he’s far too weak. Imagine being out manœuvred by MattHancock .

Forcing people to drink the Kool-aid doesn't work on free thinking people!

EndUKLockdown1

An attempt to justify Johnson's decision to carryout another item on the Plandemic's Agenda.

Lies or guesswork. MattHancock is running this s*** show in his usual authoritarian way. All of us should be angry at this government! NoToMasks

Bollocks. He's making policy from twitter polls, which I wonder if he even realises a lot of his voter base don't even use?

So confirmation here that decision was not based on science just a knee jerk reaction pushed by MSM

'Went against his natural instincts!' What utter drivel

He still did these things. It’s no defence to say it’s against instincts.

How can anyone ever take BorisJohnson MattHancock and co. seriously? How can people be so stupid as to blindly follow them?

What? His natural instincts as a buffoon?

That's true in so far as making masks mandatory in shops was doing something and he prefers to do nothing at all times.

Our natural instinct for all of us is against it but our natural survival instinct must be with it.

GFL9112 No he didn't you dullards. It's been part of the plan since the start, he's delayed it to make it look more authentic. Not hard, is it!

EndUKLockdown1 Rubbish. He’s utterly useless and spineless. Crashed the economy and pandering to the bedwetters. Hopeless and he needs to go now.

Because he’s spineless? He wanted herd immunity, but listened to the arse Prof Ferguson! Pathetic he is these day.

Yeah, so we keep being told, in fact pretty much everything he's done recently has been 'against his instincts'. Maybe his instincts were on to something? 🤔

Well, he's lost a lot of voters that's for sure ...what a prize pudding he is.

Well the KBF would argue he is being too much liberal. Boris has no natural instincts. What you think are natural instincts are just presumptions to push your narrative

If it's to reassure folks, it can be done by changing the rhetoric and sharing good news (show leadership) & stop the media sensationalising bad news with no evidence.Govt needs to control the message. No point paying people to go out but saying they'll die if don't wear a mask.

'He's a libertarian at heart' doesn't hold much sway when you look at the last four months. It's babble.
