The worst person for the job at the worst possible time. 

An incompentent crook, who has spaffed millions of pounds of public money to his mates and made decisions which has led to the premature deaths of thousands.

I agree 100%.

 

But enough about Boris, what about Matt Hancock?

[Guest Kopfkino]

Absolutely spineless that he wasn’t sacked two minutes after The Sun article came out. Shouldn’t get the dignity of resigning

[Legend_in_blue]

Can't help but laugh

 

However, feels like one head taken from a hydra.  Another will replace him just as incompetent.

Makes Johnson look pretty silly as well. Said he accepted the apology and the matter is closed. Then a resignation barely 24 hours later.

I think there’s a lot more to come with this story, there’s not enough pressure for him to quit for a bit of slap and tickle, especially seeing as Boris the ballon has accepted an apology

Very likely there's more footage or stuff being threatened to be released unless he did resign. Like you say, can't imagine this is the only instance. I wonder how long it's been going on for...

Fookin ell, that wasn’t planned. Seems a bit of a setup somewhere. Look on the bright side, Diane abbot is Labour.

Yep, that's it. This government have reacted late to a pandemic causing thousands of deaths, have wasted billions of pounds of public money on a useless track and trace, funnelled billions to their mates, failed to close borders allowing variants to enter and spread in this country. Have took the piss out of you by doing things like driving the whole length of the country for a family day out or shagging their aide all whilst millions have given up their lives, haven't seen family, haven't said goodbye to loved ones, have had to cancel weddings, and holidays.

 

And your reaction is "But Labour"

Didn’t hear his apology in that vid? 

[Free Falling Foxes]

S'pose he'll not stand at the next election and get job on the board of one of the companies that have made a fortune from the pandemic.

[The Syrup]

Being reported that Hancock has walked out on his wife as well as his job. Hopefully she'll take him to the cleaners.

But Diane Abbot once drank a mojito on a train, she is clearly dangerous and must never be allowed near government.

 

I hear the 'but Labour wouldn't have done any better' a bit less than I did, which always seemed a bit strange and now even more so, given that it's so long since they've been in power a Labour government is pretty much a hypothetical concept rather than something that anybody has any clue what it would be like.

 

We're so worried about being forced to eat an imaginary turd that we haven't noticed that we're merrily chomping down on an actual one

In other online groups and forums I'm on that discuss politics, I've noticed the "Labour wouldn't do any better" has just changed to people responding to any criticism of the Tories with a laugh as if you've said something completely ridiculous. They don't respond and defend them. I notice one has done it to my post above. He won't actually reply to my post, because he knows full well he can't say any of its wrong, so just laughs and pretends everything's all right.

 

Heads in the sand as Nigel Pearson would say.

???, the point being Boris can’t appoint Diane abbot to his cabinet!

[Fox in the North]

What does Diane Abbott have anything to do with this any more? Absolutely bugger all.

Don't give a **** about Dianne Abbott, she's not in the government, so why has she even been mentioned.

 

Hence my point being, no matter how much shit this government pull, some people are still making it about Labour.

Abbot is the standard go to Tory response, because they can't find anything constructive to say. Probably has racist undertones too.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Fascinated to know who's behind the setup of hancock. They've certainly landed a blow.
