I doubt that many people will even know it happened which is a shame. In terms of showing Johnson up as a bumbling, unknowledgeable lout it was better than most. Not having a loud mob behind him to play up to doesn’t suit him.
Let’s see how the remain and second referendum man Starmer gets on with the Brexit debate? Plus many unanswered questions re Labour when he was in the inner circle. It will all catch up with him shortly.
 
I'd love to know, how talking about steam railways in Wales is relevant.

Johnson doesn't answer any questions unless it's a pre planned pat on the back, from one of his goons.
 
I think you totally misconstrued what I said and then what yourself said. We were talking about comparisons to other countries and why they were now disguising/hiding them. So what your saying is, that if the government continued to show the graphs, people would rush out and buy toilet roll???
No like I said read into it Bob. You say they are hiding death figures by not showing those charts right? Notice how they were dropped as they wanted people to go back to work? We knew last week our death toll was higher than most. It’s to stop scaring the life out of people. Even today a huge amount of people who could, have not returned to work. This has been brought on by fear and I’ll informed information. The government doesn’t want to make this look like 28 days later, which it isn’t.

Yeah he’s going to look a right mug when we go for no deal while in the deepest recession in living memory.

You mean like the information Boris provided on Sunday night? I think it's just another example manipulation to be honest. Of course people are rightly scared to go back to work! Their ppe is to stay alert ffs.
 
I’ve heard this a lot. Not sure it’s actually based on anything.
Actually Watford if you read a bit on the EU many European thinkers are saying it. Not to mention the recent polls in Italy and the big argument France/Germany and the ECB verdict. Spain/Greece all kicking off re money and EU help. The ignoring of EU guidelines and the shutting of borders.
Seriously, I know like to think the EU is heaven mate but you need to take off your EU tinted glasses and look at what's happening? it's it cr2p shape.

Even if that’s true, it’s got little to do with it somehow being a great time for us to leave. The obvious flaw in the argument being how utterly ****ed we’ll be ourselves.

Well let's wish it all the best and hope it can prosper in the future
 
bob totally wrong with that statement. It's not me wishing any ill on anyone it's what they have been doing/done to themselves. It is destined to fail.
I never said you were. All I said were that some people wish ill on others. If you thought I was talking about you then that's just an unfortunate coincidence

Not really, this has also come from UK thinkers who believe that we would get a better deal if they are in the cr2p. which makes sense.

Okay, I thought you meant me. The point is while Coronavirus has been grabbing the headlines, work is being done behind the scenes.
I thought like Watford that it would be best to extend for a year but the government have said no and they believe we will be in a good position.
 
So many thinkers.

If they’re in the crap and we’re further in the crap then how does it become a better situation for us?
Ask the thinkers? they get paid to do all the research. All I do is read their findings online and in the papers
