People believed him when he convinced everyone that "the science" was being followed.

 

I actually feel sorry for the bloke today.  A clear liar he is, this has always been the case, and now the level of blame is squarely set at his door.  He's the fall guy.  Ultimately I don't think he's fully to blame, those pulling the strings in the background offering "science" are equally to blame, if not more so, for the course of action taken he was pushed into making, but they will get off scott free of course.

Hard to feel any sympathy when he used the pandemic to feather his and his friends nests, to have parties whilst others were fined heavily for simply meeting, and lying consistently and eagerly.

 

Your sympathy should not be reserved for that particular toxic blowhard.

Have declared my island as an independent state. Willing to take anyone with skills. Plan on annexing a local roundabout and a bus shelter in the next 12 months. Together we can be stronger.

I agree.  However, this "rigorous" lol inquiry is clearing steering towards (a) blame Boris and (b) lockdown sooner.  It's a farce.

Because a) he shouldn’t be blamed and b) we shouldn’t have?

It's not as simple as that.  

 

If this is all the inquiry achieves and similar happens again and lockdown occurs earlier, but with similar outcomes, we blame someone else?  It's more complicated than that and this inquiry is not currently exploring alternatives with enough rigor.

Question b is what the enquiry should be trying to work out.  Given a choice of two question, (1) is a former PM incompetent and/or dishonest, and (2) what should we have done and what should we do if it happens again, I would have thought the second question is the more important.  Are they making a serious effort to answer the second question?  Are they going to come with conclusions on whether with hindsight it was right to close the schools, whether with hindsight it was right to keep the supermarkets open, whether with hindsight we should have locked down longer and harder, whether with hindsight we should have locked down again at Christmas 2021 when "the science" said we should?  Those are far more important questions than "who can we blame".

You will be regretting this in five-six generations time, when the people of the impoverished roundabout seek to find a better life in the island that once conquered them. Meanwhile, the layby will do nothing to stop the "billions" of small shopping trolleys headed your way, whilst all the time the Bus Stop is campaigning for another referendum on independence.

Is this why there were no Aldi Chocolate Hobnobs in Lutterworth when I went there yesterday? You've seized the Whittle roundabout and declared it sovereign? You'll never get that trade deal with Magna Park you know.

You don't realise how fast these shopping trolleys breed.  5-6 generations will fly by in the lay by.

I can scarcely believe that a British citizen can’t marry whomever they choose and bring them to live in the uk, subject to a check that it isn’t a scam. I must be a bit naive.

When we are in the EU it was much easier and cheaper for a non-British EU citizen to do this than for say me and my wife.  We had the opportunity to make this a lot fairer, and like everything else this Government have ****ed it.

The sad fact is they can do this because it is easier than solving actual problem immigration via the boats and fake students etc.

£20m it's cost the taxpayer so far to police Just Stop Oil protests. On top of that you have the opportunity cost of sitting in traffic, disruption etc. W*nkers.

Kind of true, it’s more dependent on if you just lived in another EU country together when moving rather than your citizenship. 
 

If you are an EU citizen and live with your non-EU spouse and you use your freedom of movement rights to move from one EU country to another, then your non-EU partner can just move with you under EU law without needing to go through immigration. It still works if you are moving back to your home country from another EU country too. So I if you were a UK citizen moving back to the UK and you were, say, living in France or Ireland with your Australian partner for example, you could just bring them back to the UK under EU freedom of movement law.

 

I saw an article on the BBC last year that a lot of British-EU couples moved to Ireland after Brexit, as Brits still have freedom of movement to Ireland and Ireland is still part of the EU. So after living together in Ireland for 6 months, they can just move back to their partner’s EU country without needing to go through immigration.

The costs coming down the line as a result of us issuing further licences to drill oil will be far far greater. 

 

Also how much does the Government subsidise the iolo industry,  haven't heard you complaining about that.

Literally billions, but let's be mad about the shrapnel instead. 

 

Even the Rwanda plan has cost over £130m so far and that's without a plain leaving the ground. 
£37bn of tax payer money spent on useless Test & Trace
£11.8bn of tax payer money in Covid fraud written off (Corruption)
£8.7bn of tax payer money on wasted PPE and contracts for their pals (Corruption)
£160bn of tax payer money on half-baked HS2

 

But yeah, that 20 million on trying to silence people speaking truth is bloody criminal....
