UK government advice:
You must wear a mask to shop in a shop
You don't need a mask to work in a shop
You must wear a mask to buy a takeaway coffee
You don't need a mask to go to the pub
No mask & the police will fine you £100
Police don't need to wear a mask
What an utter farce.
I'm now expecting the cancel brigade to put up a statue of the witch, Begum, in Bristol with her hand punching the air
I think there's a strong chance Rishi Sunak will be PM by the next election. I'd welcome that from what I've seen of him
I'm very surprised the nationalists weren't up in arms about the second statue being removed in Bristol. Isn't that the removal of our history etc, or does that most powerful argument just apply to slavers from 150 years back? /s
I just think people thought the image of a black woman punching the air with her fist clenched looked unnecessarily aggressive. Otherwise, why not give her a moped and a machete too?
She was a stupid little girl when she left the UK, but I'm not sure that alone is sufficient to lose her citizenship over
I've always found this case to be an interesting contrast to the UK mercenaries that fight for different groups and regimes round the world but can seemingly come and go from the UK as they please
Based on the racial mix of the Bristol demo it should've been a white middle class student instead anyhow

Podium's free now. Wokies, Meghan and Harryhousehusband may take the original as an ornament for the garden of their 100 room house
I could be wrong but I have a feeling a lot of non-political black people just want to get on and make a success of their lives
We live in an era when those that shout loudly and get noticed rarely represent the majority
I won't repeat exactly what my Nigerian neighbour said about the BLM movement but it wasn't very complimentary and he said he was fed up of white liberals trying to do his thinking for him
That's very interesting and I'm sure there's a lot of truth in it. I'd feel the same. Who want to feel people are pussyfooting around you, taking care what they say because they think your great-great-grandad was a slave? Move forward not back
Well, if and when there is an inquiry into the government's Covid response, Sunak will be the only senior Tory to escape massive criticism. He's done well, but giving money away is easy - trying to get it back will be much more difficult and much less popular.
True about the giving the money away. As to criticism of the government, there will be some of course, and justified. But there were also bad decisions taken by the NHS (sending covid patients to care homes) and Public Health England. No one will come out smelling of roses. And the same debate will be held in just about every other country that has had covid.
Do you really think that the NHS took the decision to move Covid patients to care homes without any direction from the government? The whole government strategy was to 'Protect the NHS' and will have resulted in thousands of additional deaths.
I don't know who's decision it was on care homes. This is what a public enquiry must flush out.
