I was going to post this before I realised it's already been posted...

Just to nail it home though.

How is the boycott of china your pretend clients were telling you about in your completely fabricated conversations?

Wrong Dave, boycott is your word, not mine. What I said was that one of my customers, a major national discount store chain was actively encouraging approaches from UK manufacturers. This was because they experienced severe supply difficulties during the China shutdown and they feel they want to reduce their reliance if possible. Gaps on shelves are lost sales. They also specifically asked me whether I would be prepared to add a 'Made in UK' logo to the label artwork on my products, which I've now done and will be included on my lines from next month. As it happens I'm also adding the same logo to a range of eight new lines for another major UK/EU/USA/Canada retail chain, again at their request. All factual.

My customers are not 'pretend clients' in fact my company, the company I own, trades direct with some of the biggest retailers in the UK and beyond. I personally conceive and develop the brands and handle the sales and marketing. Unlike you I have no need to pretend about anything. But actually I think you probably know that already and you just can't stomach the thought of anyone actually achieving something.

Seriously, get out more.

Sad thing for the tories is that they are destroying themselves for someone who doesn't give a fuck about them or their party

Anyone who doesn’t think that Cummings, Boris and the cabinet aren’t a bunch of cunts unworthy of running a bath let alone the country should watch the report of an ICU in London that’s just been on BBC’s 10 o’clock news.

Moving away from the Cummings stuff for a moment.

If you reopen non essential stores on the 15th what can you do about the crowds you may get in town centres but not in stores?

Going to be hard to social distance if you get a rush of people up past topshop

I think it's time the press moved on now, unless they have some new evidence of lies or wrong doing.

I don't. They've been coming up with ridiculous excuses for quite a while now and have the opinion the public are that stupid they'll accept it. If they're allowed to let this blow over they'll see carte blanche to do whatever the hell they please and get way with it. It should've been nipped in the bud long ago and it's now long overdue then suffering the consequences of their incessant bullshit.

Disagree vehemently with what Cummings did, but at the same time it’s getting very tedious to see so many people hung up on it. Move on.

It’s fine if you’re happy with one rule for the elite and not for the rest of us.

You also have to remember that a lot of people are going to have been severely impacted by what is going on so there’s going to be genuine anger.

The genuine anger, fine. I’d want justice if I’d lost a loved one too. But there seems to be a bandwagon of hate going on as well. Covid 19 seems like the sideshow now.

yes- when you read about Cummings, his beliefs & personality this sounds very plausible.

It's not about one man breaking the lockdown. That would have been brushed under the carpet very quickly with a simple apology.

It's about doubling down and sticking up two fingers to the public, it's about valuing Dominic Cummings over public health guidance.

Someone said earlier that what we’re seeing now is just a game that the Tories are playing, to see how far they can push it in terms of lack of popularity- one of the sickest things said yet when you get back to the real issue here, which is thousands dead.
