Lots of right wingers (I shan’t call them nonces) on today about getting people back into offices who have been perfectly capable of working from home, saving time, money and stress commuting and taking cars off the road in the process.

Get out there and spend your money on coffee and sandwiches you plebs.
And help spread that virus.
 
Oh crap the soap dodgers are out again over the weekend blocking roads. Ex’stink’tion Rebellion are out to cause problems. Hopefully the police will not take any cr2p.
 
Why do you constantly belittle anyone who has different beliefs than you?
Because this country has gone through hell this year and it doesn’t need a load of freaks causing more problems for police and the community. Blocking roads when some families want to have a break away. Drs, nurses just normal people having their lives disrupted by these professional protesters. 3 were arrested as soon as it started by breaking the law.
Is that belittling or just stating that these people are tw2ts.

Shadow education Secretary Kate Green (apt surname) was asked a question about schools returning... she spent all her time bitching about the government and when asked “what would you have done differently” waffled and didn’t answer. The interviewer then said “I will ask my question again. What would you have done differently?” She waffled again and once again didn’t have a clue. The interviewer got bored and moved on. I will add her to the Dodds list.

fortunately I’m not the only one who feels the same as the presenter said “just about every email and message I am receiving are from people condemning this due to our current situation”.

The Party of law and order cut their resources down to the bone along with the justice system so good luck with that.

It’s good to keep manufacturing these enemies though. We need distractions like that from things that actually matter.

eer it’s them that are causing the distractions.

It really isn’t. Just like the “activist lawyers” Priti Patel has had all the usual right wing mouthpieces crying about this week, dinghies, the BBC, civil servants and others just in the last week or two it’s all just an exercise in hyping up minor and sometimes totally imaginary issues to keep Tory/Brexit supporters feeling persecuted in some way.

So you believe these soap dodgers are right to block roads deliberately to cause as much disruption as possible At this time?

Most of them probably wash.

I think it’s such a minuscule issue that it’s telling it would even be the thing you’d think worth bringing up. People have a right to protest and if they act illegally then the police should do something about it provided they’ve not had their budget decimated to the point of not being able to.
 
Andrew Neil to a SNP MP:

"You don’t contribute anything like enough in taxes to cover spending. Total Scottish tax take is £66bn. Total state spending is £81bn. Shortfall: £15bn. A gap not filled from your money. You should know this: they’re Scot Gov stats."

Interesting. Let’s wait and see how these people behave.

There you go again - "a load of freaks". Why not just use their name instead of constantly giving anyone you don't like a silly nickname? You're supposedly an intelligent man, and your sniping at people such as the "limp dems", "that Kranky woman", "soap dodgers", "Sir Bellend" and many other derogatory terms detracts from any argument that you make. Grow up a bit pal - people.might take you a little bit more seriously
 
Britain First leader Paul Golding has been rejected for conservative party membership despite his liking for Johnson.
: “Boris referred to Muslim women wearing the Burka/Niqab as letterboxes, so he is obviously a populist nationalist under the surface, like the type of patriotism as promoted by Britain First.”

No good posting that on here. You will be told you are taking the attention away from our government failings.

Take more than growing up to be taken a little more seriously.
