Another dictator!

Yes, people are entitled to their opinions, leaders, the government, but to say "it's the law" in requiring students to return to school in midst of pandemic is government overreach, is it NOT?
Absolutely
I can't imagine the Pres. here saying that and expecting to enforce it by law. I don't see it ever happening here. I am very surprised UK citizens allow this abuse of power.
"In a message to the unions, Mr Johnson said: ‘It’s the kids from the poorer families who aren’t going back, and so you are entrenching social injustice.’".
Are only rich kids back in school or is he full of poop?!
I didn't read the full article. I did see that this is what was being discussed - the effects on poorer children. This leader has been perfectly okay with the idea of letting the disease circulate from the beginning. Sending kids back to school, and saying "it's the law" that they return, is like facilitating the spread of the disease under the guise of fighting "entrenched social injustice". I don't buy it.
People are only entitled to their opinion if it is based on evidence or science. Anything else is preference or bias.
Opinions based on evidence or science are called facts and thus are no longer opinions...
@Cutiebeauty Exactly
o·pin·ion
/əˈpinyən/
noun
a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
@Cutiebeauty, @Geoffrey51 Well I am of the opinion, and maybe it could somehow be scientifically proven?, that this so called leader should be removed from office. This decision will surely lead to death indirectly. Does accountability no longer exist?
@Flowerwall trump too.. They're practicality twins
@Cutiebeauty There have certainly been comparisons in other regards, but in this exact sense of sending kids back to school it wouldn't happen here, so cannot be compared to Trump. It's actually alarming how much control he, PM Johnson, is attempting to exert. It's crossed a huge line.
