My side maybe, but I like many other tories think it is time Boris went.  I just don't think anyone is being realistic expecting those working in Downing street to be socially distancing.  I am sure millions of others in their workplaces didn't either, and like it or not this is their workplace.  It isn't like our workplace, but that is just a reality isn't it?  I am amazed anyone is surprised to see this.  

Key word in all this is "working" which they clearly aren't

Just need L1 to turn on Johnson now and the end will really be nigh

The key word is "integrity", of which there is none.

Will this bunch of incompetents have taken a long walk of a short pier by this date? 

Definitely.  Absolutely no chance Boris is still

pm by then.

Thanks to PR, Belgium went for almost two years without a government - and got by pretty nicely thank you very much. IMO, Parliament might be improved if nobody was there.

 

Clearly not the bars, they still need bar staff to serve up the decent public funded wine - and the chefs, I can't be doing without the nice food either. 

It might, only most of the population probably don’t  much like the bureaucratic elite either.

I'd love to say absolutely but they keep clinging on so who the **** knows

Reflecting on some (ok all) of the responses to my posts yesterday, I see I’m out of sync on the anger over the parties / drinks etc.  I think on reflection I’ve had career where work does overlap with drinks and dinners, and to me this is normal.  It wasn’t normal in may or December 2020 though, and it shouldn’t have been for those on Downing Street either.

I'm always impressed by people that can stop and think like this - props to you.

I think my main annoyance with these leaks is the dates, someone's been sitting on these specifically for political manoeuvring

Fair play in saying that, mate. Too many people (myself included at times) refuse to change their opinion just to dave face.

Well well Johnson found his backbone at last and stood up to the scientists. For now.

Surely you meant.... 

 

Well well Johnson lost his backbone again and bent over for his back benchers and the Daily Mail. Always. 

 

Or maybe not. 

[Daggers]

Just what this country needs, someone with a spine to stand up to people who rely on facts and evidence. **** me, there’s some ****ing cockwands on this forum.

I don’t care if he did. We got the right response. The data doesn’t support any further restrictions.

That’s exactly what they did in not imposing more restrictions. The data doesn’t support it.

There’s a difference between stuff that isn’t v invasive on our lives and stuff that is.  Some Precautions are surely reasonable in the face of uncertainty….

im not sure that the govt can be lauded for that much over the past couple years - but to an extend, they’re damned etc etc

... the plot of many disaster movies where a politician ignores the scientific consensus, does what they want (or what they think the "people" want) and things don't exactly go well.

 

It seems however that there are many who seem bound and determined to disparage the scientific method while a. Doing practically everything under the blanket that it provides and b. Supplying no better alternative.

 

It's a little frustrating.
