What kind of bear? Mind I'd fight a hungry grizzly if it meant not having to hear the incoherent screaming from the usual sudpects every time anyone in government does anything at all.
Simon & Garfunkel The sound of silence May be appropriate as I can't remember when this government actually did anything. Oh bugger, I've gone and done it now
The latest one I saw was today, where they're looking at sanctioning persistently badly behaved tenants in social housing. Now I'm all for creating housing estates composed entirely of these people, frankly. Makes it easier to build a big wall round them so all the decent people can get on with their lives free of the misery. Stand by for the screaming.
Simple logic for me is we can’t gamble our future on relationship with the mentalist trump so is it Europe, Russia or china that is our market relationship
They're reporting the fourth anniversary of Brexit but without the champagne, flag waving and group hugs from back then. As Boris Johnson rightly says we're now free to make our own laws ... .. sadly it seems to amount to banning a few dogs, stopping kids vaping and declaring an unsafe country safe. Hardly the brave new world we were promised and did we ever really lose the right to make our own laws? "Johnson wrote: “Four years on from Brexit, we celebrate the restoration of this country’s democratic power to make its own laws and rules."
I'm finding in my new job that large organisations are struggling with the transition between being rule takers (simply rubber stamp laws coming from Europe, job's a good'un, anyone for the pub?) and being asked to formulate policy on issues that arise. They've lost the skills, and frankly the will, to do it because they weren't required. It's an absolutely agonising process to get even the most basic decision from our regulator. It's a single person insisting on marking the work of everyone else in the country. Until we start making decisions for ourselves and stop pining for someone to come along and tell us what to do, we're just going to rumble along. That requires a government to get a grip of it.
Keep claiming to have a 'special relationship' with America ... ... is like sucking up to the school bully to make you look tougher.
As opposed to being Biden the Psychopath's lapdogs. We're fortunate in that Trump thinks he has a connection here while Biden permanently seems ten seconds away from bursting into a chorus of 'Up The 'RA' when talking about us. He may even do it one day as he continues to deteriorate.
"Cashier to promise number 1" "Rishi Sunak has acknowledged that he has failed to keep his promise to cut healthcare waiting lists. The prime minister made doing so one of the key commitments on which his own competence would be judged when taking office. But, with the situation in England actually worsening by many measures, the grand pledge was downgraded late last year, before Sunak then acknowledged failure on Monday." “We have not made enough progress,” Sunak said when asked about his commitment to cut NHS waiting lists during an interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV. Asked if that meant he had failed, the prime minister replied: “Yes, we have.”
Hang on, that last comment sounded like a truthful answer. From a politician I'm just going to lie down for a short while
A bit of honesty at last ? Disappointing results, but at least better than blatant lies and claims. He needs now to follow up with ''so what we will now do is..... ''
I agree, it takes a big man to admit they've totally fuked everything up ... ... at least his measures have stopped these XL Bully dogs from killing people.
