UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesman has rejected President Donald Trump's offer to help with Johnson's COVID-19 treatment.

Trump on Monday offered to put Johnson's doctors in touch with unnamed companies working on coronavirus treatments. The prime minister's spokesman rejected the offer on Tuesday.

"We're confident the prime minister is receiving the best possible care from the National Health Service," he said. "Any treatment he receives is a matter for his doctors."

Okay. Egg all over my face. I told Mrs. Eagle that Boris would get better care than the average subject. Turns out I was wrong. Even their political leaders get crappy health care.

What could Trump do that the UK couldn’t? NHS or not, Boris is a VIP, getting the best treatment.

Don’t you think it reasonable there could be establishment types (swamp creatures) there who prefer to see him disposed of?

They are between a rock and a hard place. If they accept help from the USA it offers the PM the best chance to fully recover. On the other hand if it would also be a tacit indictment of the NHS which they have subjected their entire populace to.

I wonder if Johnson rejected the USA or if it was his successor? Probably the latter. That's a factor two, not that he wants Johnson to die but let's face it, the stakes are quite a bit less for him if Johnson dies. For Johnson it's the ultimate stakes, for Raab, well he not only lives but he's de facto PM at least in the short term. So political considerations could come into play under that situation.

“We’re confident the prime minister is receiving the best possible care from the National Health Service,”

Isn’t Boris too fat to meet the NHS standards for treatment eligibility?

As has been observed on other posts, the NWO and its minions would rather die than accept help from PDJT. Now if it was John Kerry offering a cure from mare’s sweat or pig’s urine, they would fly the “cure” to their charges in a heart beat.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Supposedly BREXIT is official, but if Boris goes, would not be surprised if it somehow becomes null & void.

They didn’t waste any time swatting away that friendly gesture did they?

Is it me or does anyone else think that a better wording might be ‘declined’ rather than ‘rejected’ in this write-up? Declined would be appropriate for a “Thanks for the offer but we have got it in hand” as a response to an unsolicited offer. Rejected is a harsher sounding response like “Go away kid, you bother me!”

Then again the writer is probably a grad of a journalism school and has made English a second language!

Come on folks it’s Business Insider. Despite the name it is nothing but another rat rag. Not worth reading if you want the truth of this read it elsewhere.

At least they haven’t put him on a respirator. That’s a death sentence. He’s getting oxygen, which is exactly what’s called for.
