Joy and Tim’s Bogus Journey

All the right qualifications then. For a Boris Johnson cabinet.

Looks like they had to keep giving Raab enough sweets until he stopped crying after they took his toys of him.

I thought I had it bad at 4 because I had to spend a day in hospital as I was being circumcised. Didn’t know I was born. WTF my mum was crying about as they wheeled me out of the ward to go to the operating theatre god only knows.

I seem to be having a little bit of trouble. Do you remember when we were lucky to have Gavin Williamson? It only seems like that was last week. Wait… what? Is was last week. I also find it hard to rejoice in the departure of GW or any other cabinet minister for that matter as I’m instantly...

Shit!

They did. They lasted 4 whole weeks without them before they backtracked.

I brought it up as an example of things that you have to do to live free in certain circumstances. The liberty argument is BS. This government want to make it harder to enter a polling station because of one case of voter fraud in a decade and no one says boo to a ghost. Make it harder (and it...

Exactly. It’s like saying seatbelts don’t work because two thirds of of people who die in car crashes are wearing them. Over 90% of the public do wear them so the tiny minority of people who don’t wear them are responsible for a third of deaths in car accidents. It’s all about how you present...

We don’t have a meningitis pandemic in this country so no. You can see the difference I’m sure.

Yellow Fever is one example of dozens illnesses and viruses you have to be vaccinated for to travel to many countries. It was just the first one that came to my head from personal experience. Meningitis is another of the top of my head and meningitis is spread by coughing and sneezing. If I...

Anyhow. The majority of people on here are in favour of them and by about the same amount as the country as a whole. It’s a minority issue but as always the government pander to a minority of mostly fruit loops amongst their own ranks.

I can’t believe that I’m not allowed to work with children and vulnerable people without a background check. My liberties grrr.

I can’t believe I’m not allowed entry into (enter several destinations here) without a yellow fever vaccination certificate. My liberties grrr.

I can’t believe I’m not allowed to drive a car without a driving license. My liberties are being taken away from me grrr.

Depends which state the fight was in. It was either stop the count or keep counting.

They’ve learned the sum total of fuck all over the last 18+ months You can only catch it of strangers.

Has Gove issued even the poorest excuse of an apology for this. I was young, I was stupid, full of bravado, I’m ashamed of my former self type thing. I may have missed it but I haven’t seen anything.

That’s just a measure of the government’s failure. If you want to compare one death rate to another you can only compare them in the same country. It’s irrelevant to compare flu deaths in the UK to Covid deaths in New Zealand. When you’re talking about influenza deaths worldwide you’re also...

It’s the very definition of false equivalence. It’s like comparing a paper cut to limb amputation.
