Please mate, I’ve not long been up from my night shift, shattered and kids playing up.
It was asked on here so please either copy and paste it if you can find it or put it up on here.
Just really wondering your opinion in this....maybe a list if successes and failures in the governments part.
Well tbh Staines I am keeping this to politics ( I.e Sturgeon). I made it clear on the other thread. I thought Herd community was the way to go and was surprised they changed their minds but I leave that to the scientists. :emoticon-0148-yes:

I must have missed it aswell, unless he said they have made some mistakes yet cant be arsed to elaborate like many others.
 
What are Sturgeons good policies bob? I am interested because I have read an article about her failures?
I live in leeds, west yorkshire, england. I'm more concerned with politics and the lies within our own government instead of trying to distract and evade.

With respect, Bob asked you what mistakes you thought the government had made...and I couldn’t find an answer to that anywhere.

Agree with you on the original ‘herd immunity’ thing....but as Beth pointed out to me....it very likely would of been a disaster and result in many more deaths and a ‘swamping’ of the system.

Anyway, come on mate, answer the question from Bob....please.

I cant honestly remember him ever answering a single direct question when challenged. That's why he cant be taken seriously.

That’s fine mate and I agree ( I do the same). I was just interested on what you said about her good points. The article I have read rips her apart and basically said she has failed on so many fronts. I can’t understand why people think she is any better than our lot, other than turning up on time to a briefing.

Nah Bob, I’m not gonna go there again..got too nasty and childish (on both sides).
I do find Ellers very frustrating due to his lack of being able to answer any direct question with a direct answer...however, most politicians if all parties do that week in week out.
As long as we keep the debate civil then all good.

I've never brought up Sturgeon anywhere. Think you've got your wires crossed.....yet again

It's impossible to debate when one doesnt even give replies to questions.

Off the top of my head :

Scrapped tuition fees for university students.

Scrapped prescription charges

Increased childcare for pre-school age children

Introduced the smoking ban months before it was bought into force in England

Lowered the threshold for drink-driving limit, therefore reducing the road deaths each year

Introduced minimum pricing for alcohol

Increased the number of police officers

Scrapped all the bridge tolls

Massive reduction in the countries carbon footprint, with new environmental laws

Banned fracking for shale gas

Enabling 16 and 17 year olds to vote in local elections


That should keep you going for a while Ellers.

Not too keen on the voting for 16 year olds but can’t knock the rest.
