Boris forgot coercion and informers

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson dismissed the idea of a sweeping vaccine mandate like the one President Joe Biden announced two weeks ago, adding that Britons are ‘great lovers of liberty’ in an interview on Tuesday.

Johnson suggested Biden might be better off using ‘sweet reason and persuasion’ to convince people to get a COVID shot.

Speaking to NBC’s Savannah Guthrie in New York City amid the United Nations General Assembly, the UK leader was asked whether Biden’s unprecedented order would narrow the gap between Americans’ vaccination rate and that of Brits’.

Where do we start? The dishonesty is so brazen, it isn’t easy to go beyond a shake of the head but unfortunately he seems to understand the electorate. There was no serious opposition to his coronavirus police state.
