It seems an utterly bizarre thing to be doing to me.

The only person I’ve ever stopped, topically and incidentally, is Tom Meighan . He was outside a pub in Brighton so not as if stopped him going about his business
Captain... Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 All these tax reliefs from the government and incentives are great and all, but how the fvck are they going to make up the shortfall after furlough with no stamp duty income VAT reductions and giving away free meals? Or have they have resigned themselves to defeat in the next GE and are just preparing an elaborate revenge on Labour for the no money note.
CosbehFox Posted 8 July 2020 Posted 8 July 2020 Anyone seen the video with Mark Francois threatening Britain’s lead military person with the wrath of Cummings? Here it is Alongside Cummings has been permitted access to high level military sites plus MI5 and MI6 premises. 1

Thing is, all the incentives forget one basic necessity in order to work and that's put actual money in people's pockets. Reduce income tax and people will spend that money.

Sure he's a power-mad unelected bureaucrat, but he's based in Westminster so that's OK apparently.

The whole thing is one big bully campaign, it’s laughable to suggest he should support a far left nutty campaign with the ‘gesture’. It’s similar to doing a Nazi salute imo. 1 1

It’s similar to doing a Nazi salute imo. If one thinks being asked to undertake a gesture in support of a movement and consider that "bullying" and thus use that as symbolic of the movement itself, chances are that person didn't really care much about the original aims of the movement in the first place - either through not really knowing what those aims are thanks to highly successful misinformation campaigns or really just not caring about police brutality against people of colour in the US. Because, and perhaps this point has been made before, regardless of the various distractions happening the original reason for BLM existing still is a problem, and still needs addressing. At least it's reasonably clear now where those Mail readers polled on the matter stand.
Voll Blau Posted 10 July 2020 Posted 10 July 2020 (edited) Fully support each individual's freedom of choice on taking the knee but it's his reasoning that's laughable. As mentioned, the idea that he "doesn't do gestures" is ludicrous. More easily disprovable untruths coming out of his gob. Also laughable to say he's been bullied over it. He's the most powerful man in the country and people, rightly, want to know and understand his stance on it. Edited 10 July 2020 by Voll Blau 1

BKLFox Posted 10 July 2020 Posted 10 July 2020 In fairness his reference to bullying is a voice for/to the people is it not? Mr Johnson said his concern was that he did not 'want people to be bullied into doing things that they don't necessarily want to do'. That's fair enough isn't it, should people bow to peer pressure? 2
Spudulike Posted 10 July 2020 Posted 10 July 2020 What's all this gloved fist in the air thing? What does that mean?
