    Only problem with that theory Bobby is this government didn’t cause Covid whereas Blair caused the war?

    We might have had world war 3 now if saddam stayed alive by making wmds and dropping them all over the show. Blair might have been doing us all a favour. You see where we are going when we dont look at whats happened, who is doing the worst and say things could have been worst (or better) and you cant prove otherwise.

    Boris didnt cause covid but the uk is doing worse than most in both deaths and finances.

    I don’t know whether to laugh at that post or <doh>. The most ridiculous and unthought out comment was the’WW3 and Saddam’ <doh> It shows that you really don’t understand things. Although your last comment is nearly correct.
    I need to stay off here today and watch a box set.

    I would be fuming with myself and everyone else(thinking there must be someone I can blame!!!)
    iPhones do auto back up everything providing you have enough storage on the cloud. Every time I get a new iphone that I log on to it has most of the previous stuff on it, just not sure about the notes.

    Sorry to hear this, Stainsey. Are they waterproof? Might the tide have gone out? The slow motion and bouncing bit as one's arms flail ineffectively to catch the damn thing is always a sickener. On the bright side, you will soon be the owner of a nice new, up-to-date iPhone which will be the envy of many - and if they ask how they can get one too, send them crab fishing in Mudeford...

    That's the point ellers. You cant prove that the wmdless saddam wouldn't have had them by now just as i cant prove that things would be better without boris.

    In the end we can only look at blair blair at wmds and boris boris putting us in one of the worst spots economically and health wise.

    Even his own party are getting fed up with all.of his U-turns....

    PM's U-turns create a 'climate of uncertainty', says Conservative

    Boris Johnson's string of U-turns are unsustainable and have created a "climate of uncertainty", a senior Conservative politician has warned.

    Charles Walker, deputy chair of the 1922 Committee, said it was becoming "increasingly difficult" for Tory MPs to defend government policy.

    The government has made several U-turns, most recently on face masks in schools and the grading of exams.

    It comes as a new poll indicates that Labour has drawn level with the Tories.

    In an interview with the Observer, Mr Walker said: "Too often it looks like this government licks its finger and sticks it in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. This is not a sustainable way to approach the business of governing and government.

    "It is becoming increasingly difficult for backbenchers now to promote and defend government policy as so often that policy is changed or abandoned without notice. Whether this approach is by design or by accident, the climate of uncertainty it creates is unsustainable and erodes morale."

    What’s the latest list of approved media outlets?

    Fortunately we’ll soon have the Tory and billionaire-backed gammon news to rival the basically Communist Sky News.

    There are two new central political channels coming apparently. Sooner the better. All about choice. Then the BBC can be broken up

    Even Davie, the incoming DG of the BBC admits the BBC is far from impartial. And BBC presenters increase their fortunes by tarting themselves out to high paying corporates. If it isn't impartial, it should be broken up and people can subscribe to the various elements hived off.

    Yes, Dinghies with unknown occupants do worry people because we've already had one asylum seeker who murdered 22 youngsters in the Manchester arena, and another who will shortly be on trial for murdering three men for being gay.

    I think the bbc is a bit too politically correct but would rather maintain bbc news than end up with fox news and cnn of the usa

    There's room for all. BBC and Sky News are as painfully woke, pro-BLM politics and anti-Brexit as each other, and there's no other choice. One of the new channels will have Andrew Neil presenting hopefully, and he's no right wing stooge.

    That underestimates Neil. He's too long in the tooth, too senior to be told what his views are. If you remember he virtually empty chaired Boris who refused to be interviewed by him.

    You can’t argue with Watford, Goldie. Anything that doesn’t sit with him is a Thick far-right Brexit Gammon.
    Both Sky and PPC ( Politically Correct Corporation) have their own anti-government Anti-Brexit agendas. Sky really is going down the pan and don’t get me started with the PPC?

    Yeah they’re all out to get you and destroy the holy Brexit. Such a victim mentality when we have the hardest, furthest right government for at least a generation currently trying to dismantle any institution that dares legally block it.

    Tragic that you lot would use that as your excuse to cry about asylum seekers.
