My brother-in-law spent just over two weeks in hospital, including four days having being intubated. His mother died and his sister came close to death. https://twitter.com/Peter_Shilton/status/1296760128805494784

He lost his job, soon after his discharge from hopsital and now delivers parcels, in an almost futile attempt to keep a roof over his family's heads (including his ten month old baby).

He wasn't eligible for any assitance from the government, so is now in unimaginble debt.
He still feels the effects of the disease; everyday is a struggle just to move. But, he keeps on working, mostly for his pride and sanity, as much as for the security of his loved ones.

So, for you, who used to be one of the nation's most revered sports persons, to patronisingly suggest that we cut Boris Johnson some slack, is a massive insult. Johnson has the help of nannies, a chef, a butler and countless domestic staff at Number Ten.

He is a multi-millionaire and will NEVER experience financial hardship. The decisions he has made during this crisis has ushered in the deaths of over sixty thousand people. Most of whom were in the care homes he swore to protect.

He has mired himself in scandal, lies and corruption (not to mention racism, misogyny and homophobia) throughout his political life and now has the audacity to drive us headlong into the brick wall of a distastrous no-deal Brexit.

He refuses to commit to an independent inquiry into the Russian government's involvement into our democracy and is now linked to the crimes for which Steve Bannon has been indicted.

And for you to say that "he has fought more battles over the last eighteen months than any other Prime Minister," indicates that your blinkered assessment of history is not just flawed, but hugely biased.
