BFTD Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Love when the Tories forget they're speaking in public. There have been a few who've let slip their desire to scrap or withdraw from human rights legislation, and planning to overrule the courts is a bit of a corker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS RR Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 That’s the difficult thing with politics, it’s hard to know where you are. The ambiguity surrounding the message just contributes to the confusion. It could be a long couple of months for Boris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just now, Raven said: So actually (in that article anyway) no, he did not say numbers would hit 200,000 per day. Are we going to get to would/could pedantry? The 200k scare figure was mentioned by Ferguson and he also said it was almost inevitable that we'd see 100k. We still only saw half that as a maximum. The schools are off down south and hopefully we'll see a drop off in case numbers since they are the highest case rate just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
