To be fair I have Never said he was a fool for asking for a Lockdown. I said he was playing political politics with people's lives... which he is. Remember the Labour MP who said they should take full advantage of Covid?
I said he put Boris in a weird situation. However, I agree with what you say... which is what I said after the Starmer speech.

Really?

People are already moaning about Mr Woodens lockdown in a weeks time after buying permissible supplies which will cost them thousands if there is a national lockdown? He should have just sat on the fence... What an idiot.

just a few of the links from the first page of google search contracts Tory donors, yes they’ll be duplicates and I expect none are from the approved reading list so will be instantly dismissed but hey ho
 
Oh dear, our resident activist 'Greta Willburg' has dug up a few articles. <doh> oh god, give me strength. If any of those articles got any more left they would end up in Russia.
 
Test and Trace records ANOTHER worst-ever performance with just 63% of contacts of infected patients tracked down last week (and one in five Covid-positive patients weren't reached for three days)

Another milestone reached for the useless twats but its all the northerners faults
 
This whole country, regardless of political allegiance, should be absolutely fuming that the government has spent billions on this totally inadequate system. They should be furious at the reported figures consultants are receiving for advising on this pathetic system. Its tax payers money being spaffed up the wall. It's truly a disgrace and totally incompetent at it's best.

Even if you looked at it totally dispassionately as an investment on top of the basic argument of it being a good thing for poor kids not to go hungry in the UK in 2020, it’s proven to a worthy one. For a government so obsessed with PR I don’t get the motivation not to just do it.
 
interesting, not only does cummings get away with not paying council tax, he's also gotten away with building an illegal property.

Putting aside the children's meals which is not what I'm addressing here. Part of my work, especially at the moment relates to contracts, the contracts that pass through my hands range from low thousands to some six figures, penalty clauses are standard in pretty much all contracts (certainly with any that enter tens of thousands).. well so is a tendering process. How the government has allowed this to happen is evidence of pure incompetence.

Think incompetence is a convenient get-out personally.

Are you suggesting there is something else going on here... could be right.... or it could be Starmer's fault for criticising the government to account or sniping from the sidelines ....
