    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Mason also said this just this afternoon….

    I don’t think it makes you either. An analogy you could use is Brexit. On one side you have the frothing Leavers that wanted British Empire 2.0 and all ‘Remainers’ hated this country, and on the other side the delusional Remainers that thought only racists voted for Leave and that they had a God...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Ultimately you may well be right - but where is the harm in asking, and then shouting from the rooftops that the Government don’t give a fuck about supporting people that are asked to comply?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m not sure that Labour supporting the measures makes Johnson look weaker at all - and there is no way that assertion will play out in the media. An opportunity to try to a) maximise compliance with financial support where appropriate and b) look like a party with not just a plan but...

    There is always bullshit regardless - but if the numbers of deaths has skyrocketed in a month then maybe it’s a bit justified. If it’s still minimal then your assertions are valid - expert or not.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don’t know why you wouldn’t want Labour to use this rebellion to secure financial protection for the people that will be adversely affected by having to adhere to these measures. It’s all very well Labour supporting the government (which I get why they should) but they should also be fighting...

    It’s a fact based on the data so far…. Which is small and limited. I genuinely don’t understand why you are getting so agitated about this at this stage. If the figures are still the same in a month then I do understand.

    So they had Omicron then.

    Surely not. I know exponential growth can accelerate numbers quickly… but if that’s accurate already then we are in the shit big time, and there is a fuck load of infections going undetected.

    If Starmer didn’t have the political acumen of a Twix he could take advantage of a potential Tory rebellion to negotiate some financial support for those forced to self-isolate and thus increase compliance with the rules. The only effort he’s made today is to get the flag and bookshelf looking...

    Definitely shades of the Montreal Screwjob there.

    Primarily because sport appeals to us because it’s unpredictable but also generally fair. What we’ve just witnessed goes against that notion.

    But they didn’t let them all pass did they - there were more of them.

    If people want to be concerned/outraged then maybe have a look at this if it ends up being accurate on both counts. Double tragedy after deaths of two children with Covid at same school

    The WHO have not updated their figures since Dec 4th, the virus has been present in the UK for what - 2 weeks or so? Hopefully it’s not a serious mutation - but people getting outraged based on out of date information is bordering on ridiculous.

    It’s treating the electorate with contempt and disdain, the arrogance in thinking that rules don’t apply to you is shocking. Don’t be a c**t - follow the rules and do your bit. Thinking you are above it does make you a bit of a scum bag.
