It was tweeted quite a lot yesterday. maybe her eyesight wasn't up to it at the moment in question, though ? that's the sort of thing you don't take risks with - it's not as if you can just jump in your car and swan about for a bit to test if your eyesight is good enough to drive, is it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this had happened three years from now Cummings would be away already. In normal times, maybe. Right now? I have never heard (irl), read (online and print) or seen (online and TV) such united disgust at a ruling Party. It started with Cummings, then Johnson, and now ministers are tying themselves to this particular handcart. Honestly, the Tories have managed to find something, maybe the only thing, that can make the scales drop from the GBP's eyes. We cannot afford the defeatist idea of "oh, it's the wrong time in the electoral cycle" any more. We have to take this anger and focus it. That landslide was in terms of seats. In terms of votes, it was much less impressive. To paraphrase Wilson, let's make this the longest week in politics these arseholes have ever had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Political genius right enough. Reminds me of a line in 'Rivers of London' where the main character works as a police officer in the Met. "We can handle looking heavy handed, cruel or even racist. The thing that really damages us is when we look stupid."This is the sort of stuff that will get the 1922 committee twitching a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If trust in Government guidance is eroded we’ll have a second spike and 1000s of lives will be lost.

Jacksgranda Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 First time I've heard Ms Sturgeon's briefing - very impressed. No "ehmming" and "ahhing" and waving the hands about there, seems to have a command of the subject. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
