I’m fed up with all the multi million pound contracts given to the hopeless Dido Harding to mess up.
As a result, I’ve decided to write and complain to the government’s anti-corruption tsar, John Penrose.
That’s John Penrose. Husband of Dido Harding. Oh....

Tory reaction on hearing news that it is a no deal Brexit.

Dido Harding, who has been quoted as saying the following.
“Everyone wants to believe that test and trace is a silver bullet. It has never been and it never will be.”
Clearly the advice that the WHO has been giving out, from the earliest days, that the best way to control this virus is through testing and tracing, has not yet reached her office.
She has no expertise in this area and her track record, for ****ing things up, marks her out as a female Chris Grayling in the making.
Which makes her perfect for this government.
Once upon a time it was the Conservative Party or the Tories then it morphed into the Nasty Party and is known today by all sensible people as the Nationalist Party.
I now know that feeling of total despair that all those in Germany opposed to Hitler and his policies must have felt.

I wonder if he calls Dido Dickie?
In other news, BoJo talks of giving Andy Burnham some cash as if this is going to sort out the current crisis in Manchester. What Boris doesn't get is that in Andy Burnham he is dealing with a man who thinks about issues and develops principles to underpin his thinking. He wants the whole 'level 3' lockdown thing re-evaluated and made fair for a start. He also, rightly, realises that closing pubs in Manchester isn't going to stop people travelling to other places for a night out. We've seen that here. Liverpool is closed and Chester pubs are getting more custom.
Burnham isn't looking for a quick fix and a bung, but this is the only language that Johnson understands.

Don't hold your breath. The Daily Mail will know who to blame.
If this doesn’t make your eyes roll, then nothing will.

Bodycam footage shows Met officers behaving poorly, escalating situations rather than deescalating, using unnecessary force and unprofessional behaviour.
Solution: don't release bodycam footage.

McClusky’s a Boris level narcissist who has turned Unite into a personal power base. He should be fully focussed on representing the interests of his members in the workplace but I doubt he gives that a moment’s thought.
This country just gets worse .... though not (yet) as bad as the one across the pond .....
You seem to have read this with an agenda. It actually says lack of de-escalation, lack of patience, etc. Escalating is not failing to deescalate. I know your love of semantics, so I can't wait to see how you justify this misread of the article. It specifically says these are not rule breaking incidents but incidents which could be done better. If I was filmed doing my job and made mistakes, but broke no rules, I would be horrified if that was then released to the public. The article says the incidents will be used to learn from, but you want naming and shaming? It is right that police actions are reviewed but releasing footage can destroy a career when in fact the officer thought they were doing the right thing.
Our overworked and underfunded public services are such an easy target.
I genuinely think you'd have to go a long way to find a force that does a better job of policing a diverse, chaotic, vibrant population, with no shortage of complex social problems, than the Met does of policing London.
From the article:
A synonym for the above? Escalation! They escalated to the use of force when it was avoidable!
