00:00 So we've got the COVID inquiry going on at the minute.
00:02 Do you think Boris Johnson did a good job at handling the pandemic?
00:05 I did. I think it was a very difficult task
00:08 and something that we've never experienced before.
00:11 So to have handled it the way that he did was unprecedented
00:16 and to be quite honest, I'm not a political person
00:20 but I do think he did a good job.
00:22 So there's an inquiry at the minute looking into how the government handled the pandemic.
00:26 Do you think Boris Johnson did a good job at that?
00:29 No, I don't.
00:30 And why not?
00:31 Because, yeah, I think he made a hash of the whole thing really.
00:36 His behaviour was outrageous
00:38 and now it's come to light that his plan was to kill off old people,
00:42 which I am one, so...
00:43 We are!
00:44 We are, yeah!
00:46 Do you think Boris Johnson did a good job at handling the COVID pandemic?
00:49 No, I don't.
00:49 And why not?
00:51 Erm...
00:52 It's quite inept, I think, and erm...
00:57 just no common sense, I think, really.
00:59 Do you think Boris Johnson did a good job at handling the COVID pandemic?
01:04 I think he did, yes.
01:05 Do you think Boris Johnson did a good job at handling the pandemic?
01:08 No, it was rubbish.
01:09 And why not?
01:11 Because he didn't do it really, did he? He made it worse.
01:13 So we've got the COVID inquiry going on at the minute.
01:15 Do you think Boris Johnson did a good job at handling the pandemic?
01:19 I think he did as good a job as anybody could
01:22 because it was an unknown quantity.
01:24 Lots of mistakes made.
01:26 Tell me he would have done better.
01:28 The inquiry is a waste of money.
01:32 But I'm on the assistance, no, it's tax money that's being spent on.
