Of course he hasn’t - he’s a muppet. But that was not the point as you well know.
You are blasé on corruption because it suits you to be blasé about it…. Unless of course it’s the EU doing it and then you’re apoplectic.

We moan a lot about MP’s but there are some absolute fuckwits running things at local, parish and county level.
Also a climate change denier. Interesting chap.
WCC have actually had a very good approach to this whole pandemic, it must be said. Let's hope that continues, and this chap doesn't hold much in the way of influence!We moan a lot about MP’s but there are some absolute fuckwits running things at local, parish and county level.
It’s good to hear he doesn’t have much influence. My local parish council are very good, but the quality disappears at County level.WCC have actually had a very good approach to this whole pandemic, it must be said. Let's hope that continues, and this chap doesn't hold much in the way of influence!
The Chief Exec has been especially good which probably helps, given she's the one running it in actuality!It’s good to hear he doesn’t have much influence. My local parish council are very good, but the quality disappears at County level.
The one question no one could answer was 'Why was the company name redacted?' (the publican's company). Privacy and general gdpr was mentioned but then other companies were on the documents. It seems that they made an effort to hide the fact this was Hancock's mate. Got to prove that though.He’s such a smug wanker …even worse on video
I need to go back and listen to that call though as I heard JoB briefly after and he wasn’t too harsh on the landlord guy
If hancock has been up to no good I think he should be sent down (obviously won’t happen). He should’ve got in far more trouble for using personal emails as well. If he had to because, for example, there were problems with gov emails, he should’ve saved every personal one. Id imagine in any other industry that would be the requirement and to not do would be a probable sacking offence
Looks horrific that he didn’t whether he was up to no good or not

Seems this is one that is going to stick. I think rightly so as I remember how difficult it was not seeing friends and family last year. Then it turns out that they had a knees up.
I think a fair number of casual voters will be more pissed off about this kind of stuff than they are on the economy and contracts.Of course it matters Faz. But the question should’ve been will it change your voting intentions ? Also will it matter by the next election ?
For me it will be irrelevant, compared to the stuff on certain nhs pandemic contracts (to be determined), how the country is fairing economically post Brexit and how it’s coping with Covid.
General ‘competence’ will cut through far more by ‘23/24

It's feeding into the 'no rules for them rules for the rest of us' narrative that seems to be hurting the Conservatives in polling at the moment.
I'm not sure some people are bothered about how the post Brexit stuff is going. They just wanted to leave. Offering up an alternative reason to not vote for the Conservatives on these moralistic grounds might be a much easier sell than essentially asking people to admit they were wrong re Brexit.
As you say though, a GE is a way off yet. Johnson being ousted can't be that far off now though.
Not sure it will for a certain amount tbh. Covid and the French will be at fault.I was really talking about how the economy is doing generally (it’s just that it’s now post Brexit). If we’re in the shit, that’s what will swing voters
And sneering hindsight from the Liberal elites.Not sure it will for a certain amount tbh. Covid and the French will be at fault.

It might be gone, but it'll be an easy blame if the economy's struggling.That’s why I mentioned comparably. Economy is usually top of people’s list when voting. Covid might rival it this coming election although hoping it will be long gone in terms of disruption

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity….What an idiot
There's always a tweet.
Not great timing considering they’re talking about taking away middle class drug users’ passports.We should do a sweepstake on who gets caught out first. My money is on Gove.

No idea - it sounds insane.How will they decide if you’re middle class?
But Diane Abbott etcYour Secretary of State for Justice, ladies and gentlemen.

Haha almost like if you’re working class you’re likely to be an addict and the upper classes can do what they like.Sounds like someone who’s only interaction with the drug trade is Daily Mail headlines.

I heard an expert on the radio this morning, who basically said middle class cocaine is a different distribution network and only a small minority goes through county lines (<10%) and the vast majority (~90%+) thay goes through county lines is heroine and crack, which have different user base, and one not likely to have passports or driving licenses.No idea - it sounds insane.
