Billy Jean King Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Boris deserves a hammering and he should clearly resign, but there is something I don't particularly like about this "here is a story about a random constituent who died". There's been one of those at virtually every PMQs / FMQs since this all started. Today was never going to be any different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Looking back at the initial lockdown on my phone one of my friends had a party in their garden the first Saturday in June (a week after the Boris party) with about 20 people and it didn't seem like we were doing anything particularly abnormal. Loads of people were having BBQs and big outdoor meet ups during that really warm spell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably bad luck for us to be laboured with the worst possible Prime Minister at this time. It's like he's actually trying to get sacked. Hopefully whoever replaces him enacts some laws that makes them accountable rather than relying on honour. Until they stop sending public money into donors pockets I think he will be able to hold on. As always never trust a Tory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign governments are putting pressure on the UK media to empty him because he didn't have the political strength to put in restrictions? Also Frances restrictions aren't about limiting the spread of the virus, it's about driving rates of vaccination. 1 minute ago, NotThePars said: It wouldn't surprise me if there was some sort of nonsense token legislation to hive off the sheer open sleaze of Boris's leadership while they continue pressing on with the insane ghoulish shite in this article: https://gal-dem.com/every-bill-the-tories-are-trying-to-pass-2022/ What's for certain is that a civil service led review of minesterial actions is completely pointless, should be parliament or judge led or preferably both but agree folk are getting wound up by the least bad shit he is getting up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Boris is indeed a fucking clown and deserves to get punted. But he seems to be the one at the vanguard of opening the country back up. I think we need him to stay put for a couple of months yet until that process is complete and NS has been dragged along with the process. Unless you want a dove like Gove with his more cautious attitude. And we've all seen how well that approach has gone down this side of the border... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason he's under pressure is because so many in his own party *don't* want restrictions, you lunatic. Imagine thinking Labour wouldn't be trying to pile it on him in this situation as well - but no, it's all a secret bogeyman plot! We literally have major newspapers in this country highlighting that the UK is simply leading the way in this. Clown.

Erm no it isn't, because France has restrictions on gatherings and large events that apply to the vaccinated as well as unvaccinated. They have fallen down the sane rabbithole as the iSAGE nutjobs were shrieking for here, and it has achieved the square root of f**k all against the shan cold variant. The UK's general unlocking and England's in particular prior to Reckless Tory Freedom Day has served it better for this winter than most of continental Europe. It's almost as if having an inevitable exit wave in summer was the better outcome all along! Edited January 12, 2022 by vikingTON 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah saw him going on about pissing off the unvaccinated and that was it. Will be interesting to see how it effects their election, he seems to be polling strongly so I guess it's what the majority want in France. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever_blueco Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) This “I accept full responsibility” seems to be a popular soundbite for politicians who are up to their neck in it these days. However accepting full responsibility used to mean accepting the consequences and sometimes your arse out the door . Nowadays it seems to be just another way of saying I’m sorry let’s move on now and forget this ever happened . First really noticed it with Nicola during the whole salmond questioning Edited January 12, 2022 by Forever_blueco 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
