Three days now and I’m genuinely not having any issues. I think not having other smokers around is making it easier than it’s been before.

You realise you just donated to one of the biggest socialist projects in the world right? Also that Tom was fighting the exact same sort of right wing populists you’re cheerleading for? Also his generation voted Remain by a distance. Couldn’t make it up. Draping yourself in something you...

And the “take it on the chin”? The quotes from government insiders in well connected papers saying “we didn’t want lockdown”? The quotes from scientific advisors saying their advice was ignored? The quotes from Whitehall about Cummings presentation “a few pensioners will die”? At some point...

The government response was basically “it’s mostly correct”. We knew most of it already mate. And I’m sorry but at what point do you stop minimising evidence after evidence that this government intended to have less of a lockdown and therefore more deaths to gain a small economic advantage...

Just been reading this. Sorry but it’s increasingly clear the guy simply isn’t fit to run the country. Stick Sunak in, stick Liam Fox in, but having this buffoon and his weirdo mate in charge is just dangerous. Don’t care how much of a laaaad he is. Thousands of deaths on his hands. When this...

Whheeeeyyyyy! Add another couple of meltdowns to the pile. All complete with “I’m out” flounces as well. Absolute classics of the genre. I can almost see the red faces and spittle from here. Internet is serious business guys.

Loving the meltdowns from Grendel and Ernie. Absolutely obsessed, and coming onto a football forum to say how people who go on football forums are losers, or simultaneously saying how everyone is Labour but no one cares about Labour:

Not sure about the “oooh scary ASI” stuff, but the Hancock PPE thing was indeed an open goal. Im not sure I’ve ever seen Starmer on the attack now I think about it.

Focused on PPE and exit strategy at the moment. I think the time to strike as it were is when the final death toll is in and we can easily say “we are the worst in Europe” (which I expect us to be) or whatever. Right now attacking a sick leader in the middle of crisis would only back fire.

While I sort of agree, Johnson does have form for hiding himself and his other less serious cabinet members when times get tough. I don’t think that’s what’s happening here though.

Have a read of this, Cameron’s Tory Party Conference speech (so already as partisan as it gets) in 2008 in the middle of the GFC. Note the “we will work with government”. Conservative conference: David Cameron's speech in full

Yeah agreed. Been having this argument with Corbynites. Point is that it doesn’t actually mean a good job is being done, just standard psychological effect. The data tells us we aren’t doing a great job so far but we really can’t tell until it’s all over.

Its rally round the flag effect. Aside from a few exceptions most leaders have had a poll boost, people don’t want to think someone shit is in charge during a crisis.

The Surface isn’t a good tablet. There’s just not the apps for it. If you care about that I’d get an iPad Pro, but as a ultraportable windows laptop it’s amazing.

Right here we go again. You really are terribly informed on literally every topic. It’s quite impressive, you’d think that even by law of averages you’d happen across an informed take on something. Under Labour vocational education was far more highly valued, and adult and further education...

Fucking hell mate. If this is a wind up you’re sick and need to stop. People have died because of this and it ain’t funny. If it’s not a wind up, I mean this will all the love in the world, please go and seek professional help. You’re having paranoid delusions and could be a danger to yourself...

It’s all about getting through the cravings isn’t it? Maybe ten minutes of willpower at a time and then you’re fine. Do really need a hobby now I’m not smoking weed though. So bored.

This threads very confusing. What’s the Panorama about? I thought UHCW was doing quite well

What was wrong with the social housing model we had post war up until Thatcher?
