Let's hope so mate, until we have tourists i'm not at all worried as the virus has basically died here.

Advantages of being on an island! Oh wait...

How reliant is the local economy on tourism? Hopefully they don't let people in too soon.

Very heavily mate, the north (Las Palmas) is like London, all the office jobs etc.. down in the South it's almost all tourism. Without it we are f@#+%d.
It's why people are prepared to gamble with tourism, with tourists we can slowly build again and where i am they have spent millions on new centres etc.. without tourism, well we are doomed i tell you doomed lol.
So many people have everything tied up here and if no tourists we all lose the lot, the Canarians will be ok as they own everything but the Brits and Irish won't have anything as we mostly all rent from Canarians.
They have been very clever unlike the UK, they don't sell, they rent out and make sure they keep hold of the countries assets. If it goes pop now, we lose everything but they still own the lot so in 2, 3 or how many years it takes to recover they will get all the money again.

There's something a bit suspect about the twitter trending topics. At no point has Dominic Cummings been trending despite pretty much everything related to the story trending.

As a result people have started spelling it wrong, DominicCummngs, and surprise surprise its the number 2 trend.

I used to work somewhere where Scunthorpe and canal were filtered by the firewall. Maybe it’s a similar thing with Cummings.

They have just released a list of people who will get EMERGENCY payments (now we are about to start working again), (these are the 1st in the queue, more to come). It's a dam joke. At least in the UK you got your payments. It's not even a long list for a country.

You have to admire the long game of the mirror and observer holding off in the 2and part of the story for 24 hours

While also marvelling at the stupidity of the entire cabinet being stupid enough to be taken in by it.

These fuck wits have got to get us through Brexit.

I think those line up with the time line of the second visit don't they? Turns out his mum had a birthday on the first visit and his wife had a birthday on the second. All a coincidence though I'm sure.

Laura K looks really shit off the back of those tweets.

Oh OK fair enough, hard to keep track

I agree with the conveniently similar tweets of Gove, Sunak, Hancock and pals. He just loves his family unlike everyone else staying home, and it's wrong to politicise this case of a political advisor to the prime minister going against government advice during an issue that dominates politics

first tory MP breaks rank to call for Cummings to go.
More lining up to go public is the part time PM doesn't take action apparently.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

The horrible truth is that this will blow over pretty quickly.

and so it should.

 

[clint van damme]

and so it should.

why?
And I think you're wrong, tories now calling for him to go.

 

[David O'Day]

and so it should.

Why? When other people have been forced to resign from government jobs for less and normal.people have not been able to go to things like funerals?

You like a bad take on current affairs but this is the worst yet.

Interesting interview with Steve Baker.
He said that privately fellow Tory MPs have been critical of Cummings, (lets see who goes public).
What he did reveal, which was surprising, is that if Johnson sacks him he expects a lot of resignations. Sounds like there are strong pro and anti Cummings factions within the party if what he is saying is true.

The political move would be for him to quit now, then come back in a few months, wouldn't it?

 

[SIR ERNIE]

I see that the ludicrous windbag Piers Morgan has predictably tried to make the Cummings story all about himself.

Ernie lad did you get that list of councils that were not going to open their schools on the 1st of June? See anything in common with Tory Essex and Solihull and Liverpool and Manchester?

Oh yeah the boycott China movement? Oh was that going?

I think it's going to be very easy for the opposition to paint a 'one rule for the Tory hierarchy, one rule for everyone else' narrative while he's around, even if he leaves and comes back.

Morning Young Dave, are you excited and looking forward to spending yet another day whingeing and whining on the coronavirus thread?

I dunno, he wouldn't be the first to do that trick, and he's not even an MP.

Hi Ernie.

Nope but I do enjoy laughing at life walt's such as yourself.

You've never once been knowingly right.

Still one day mate, one day.
