Dawson Park Boy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Just watching a bit of the Westminster debate on Covid. Government getting a bit of a bashing mainly from its own side and all the points made on here are being being aired to the full. Brilliant stuff. Why can’t we get this kind of thing at Holyrood? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I read some labour MP said lifting restrictions now would be "akin to throwing petrol on a fire". Absolute bullshit. With opposition like that is it any wonder the govt is able to make any draconian rules that they like. Spineless b*****ds 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another excuse to do something otherwise not allowed, then, with little to no desire to apply anything 'learned' from it to any other settings. Sounds about right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the questioning of the Govt down South is that it is almost entirely limited to 'rebel' Tory MPs. Labour either abstain or support the Government at every opportunity to the effect that they may as well not be there - there is no risk of any proposal being defeated. There doesn't appear to be any desire to put their head above the parapet, so to speak, and question decisions or policies im any meaningful manner. Same with journalists, save for a few outliers, no-one appears to want to challenge the narrative.

Yup, point 2 is why it's hopeless that the Greens won't criticise her in any meaningful manner about anything meaningful. A second pro-independence (accepting for a minute that the Greens are the closest thing there) party criticising would make it harder for legitimate criticism of ScotGov policy to simply be dismissed as 'it's yoons so just file it in the bin!' (and then far too many accept that unquestioningly) or Sturgeon doing her 'I'll take no lectures.....' routine which never quite accords with her pledges to listen and learn lessons from mistakes etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with journalists, save for a few outliers, no-one appears to want to challenge the narrative. Labour's agenda is to make smart-arse quips about 'India not being on the red list sooner', in the belief that the general public are going to thank them for this carping from the sidelines and just playing the wee man enablers of all government policy anyway. For some reason, this is not converting into the landslide polling lead they expected. In a Westminster context, the only sensible move - even if you're an opposition party that supports knicker-wetting restrictions - should be to oppose the government and expose the divisions between it and its own rebels. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour are totally useless, a bit like the robotic SNP members here. There was one, Graham Stringer, Labour, one of the old Labour brexiteers who made a plea for reopening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is going to work out so well when the fucking enormous bill for this pointless exercise in economic self-destruction is paid for by the poorest in society and likely fatal cuts to what's left of the UK welfare state. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anyone who is still on furlough I dont know anyone who is still scared of covidWhere do they find these c***s? Twitter ?P&b is overwhelmingly against lockdown nowYet we are internet message board users too, the kind of folk who in theory should be knicker wetting introverts who don’t like going out in the big bad world I don’t know a single person who doesn’t want this to end now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
