    So how would you have proposed he handle the 250,000 (yes that’s 250,000) a day alone, that were returning from ski resorts. That’s U.K. citizens!!! Or do you not think they had a right to return.

    Of course that does not include the even greater number that were returning from sunnier climbs - or were they not allowed to return either?

    Oh and neither figure includes the many thousands of other international traveller who passed through the world hub that is the U.K..

    And people still compare us with New Zealand FFS!!!

    Why did the Spurs v Foxes game go ahead. Will football have immunity when it comes to travel in and out of the capital?

    At the same time people were returning from the ski resorts more were being allowed to go out.

    Or are you seriously claiming a million stranded skiers were coming home every 4 days?

    Well you're one of the most political posters here, and never miss a chance to tug your forelock in the direction of the Old Etonians.

    When Starmer was elected leader of the Labour Party I thought you were going for the world record of the number of threads you could post on about him "helping Jimmy Saville to evade justice" (if Starmer had really done so he would be serving an extremely long prison sentence).

    Which is fine, I have absolutely no problem with people posting strong political views. I don't think you should be censored, insulted or accused of throwing your toys out of the pram. Keep it coming. IIRC it was you who set up the excellent General Election thread.

    It just makes me laugh when people of any political opinion who regularly come out with very strong political views are then surprised when others, er, come out with very strong political views.

    Just to play Devils Advocate your assumption COULD be rather flawed.
    A reader COULD claim that the Title covered THREE Headings.

    CHRISTMAS

    BORIS

    HYPOCRACY

    The last would cover most politicians living or dead, (in MY view). I

    A passing thought.

    Perhaps if somebody told Boris that the Virus was Female, that would encourage him to get on top of it.<whistle>

    ... if you are then fair play to you.

    I support Conservatives and the majority support Labour. I defend the Conservatives and slag Labour. Labour supporters defend their party and slag the Conservatives. Both sides completely avoid the good things that the opposite party do.

    The bottom line is people target me (on political threads) because I'm a Tory and that just isn't liked in the NE.I like to point out all the flaws in the party that they support and I like to counter their arguments against BJ and it doesn't go down well. I see that as good old tribalism.

    If people don't like me as a poster because of my political views that is their problem, not mine.

    No mate, I was asking if you'd be telling people to support Corbyn if he was now PM ...

    ... as you were doing with me and Johnson.

    Sorry mate, that's absolute nonsense.

    It's not even logistically possible.

    A debate at the time said that people arriving from airports which serve skiing holiday regions is estimated to be around 250,000 per day in the U.K. during the peak season.

    And a similar number arriving from other holiday destinations.

    if you do the sums, it is logistically possible. IE how many flights land in the U.K. each day during the winter? FECKIN LOADS.

    Answering the question ‘How many Brits go skiing each year, findings show that each winter 1.5 million UK residents go on at least one ski holiday.

    According to your figures that's only 6 days whereas they're talking about the entire season.

    As I said, it's absolute nonsense.
