What a snivelling, pathetic and highly damaging piece of Covid theatre.
At a time when both their countries are reaching peak-jabbed status, with borders reopening and a return to normal apparently in sight, the so-called leader of the free world Joe Biden and former libertarian Boris Johnson sat apart and fully muzzled during their cringey Oval Office meeting.
Boris has not only been double-jabbed but also has natural immunity having beaten the disease when it nearly killed him. Biden is also double-vaccinated.
What message were they trying to send to the world?
That Covid has fundamentally changed us for good and we should keep half our faces covered up without the evidence to suggest it makes any real difference to stopping the spread?
That it shouldn’t make a blind bit of difference if you’re double-jabbed and are swimming in Covid antibodies thanks to a natural infection like Boris?
Or that virtue signalling wokery and looking like you’re ‘doing the right thing’ now trumps reality and science?

How long are we going to sit idly by and accept this weird vision from our leaders, as they allow our normal way of life to be changed forever more?
I know Boris doesn’t really believe in this nonsense. That’s why he sat tightly around the Cabinet table with 27 ministers and eight advisers just last week without a mask in sight.
But Boris was slavishly sucking up to the fading US President all day, embarrassingly praising his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal and insisting they are ‘at one’ on the thorny issue of the Northern Ireland border.
Biden was like a doddery granddad, rejoicing in his incomprehensible but lengthy anecdote about the Amtrak train he used to catch (WE KNOW YOU DID!), but sitting silently when the US media were forcibly ushered out the room and screamed at by aides without being able to ask even one question.
Welcome to democracy and freedom of the press in the United States, 2021 style.
Meanwhile Biden rages at his own people for not embracing vaccines more thoroughly and has even ordered all military to get jabbed or court martialled.
Private companies face laws that will compel them to demand their staff get vaccinated or face weekly tests.
