Johnson's father ignores his son's advice and continues to go to the pub

Stanley Johnson, father of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, said he will continue to go to the pub despite official government advice not to leave the house for unnecessary reasons, in an effort by the British government to make efforts to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus epidemic.

Johnson Sr.'s comments come less than 24 hours after his son, Prime Minister Boris, announced that he urged the British people to "avoid going to bars, clubs, theaters and other similar social activities" with the aim of limiting the spread of the Corona virus.

Stanley Johnson's refusal to comply with the government's warnings was impressive, especially as the Prime Minister stressed that these tips are especially important for people over the age of 70, even though Mr. Stanley is 79 years old.

During the British television program "This Morning", presenter Philip Schofield asked the father of the prime minister whether he still wanted to go to the pub, despite his son's advice, and he answered, "Of course I will go to the pub when I want to do this." The government - he said that going to bars should be avoided, but if I wanted to go, I would not hesitate to go to the pub. ”

Stanley, who was a former writer and politician, continued the conversation: "The owners of these bars and those who run them do not want people to stop visiting their pubs."

And Prime Minister Boris Johnson evaded questions posed to him regarding his father's position during a press conference on Tuesday.

Of course, the responsibility rests with me, and I bear responsibility for all the decisions that the government makes, regardless of whether some of them involve difficulties for the people, and the advice that we give to everyone, ”the prime minister said at his conference. What I want to say to people who do not like these advice, is that the more we follow the advice of our scientists and doctors, the more we will have the opportunity to prevent the spread of disease in our country and protect the lives of many people. ”

"It seems that some people do not like not to go to bars with all the right, and for this we have announced these exceptional advice," the prime minister added.
