It’ll be interesting to see what our two local nodding dog MPs do when this inevitably hits us in 3 or 4 weeks time. Not expecting anything great.


Probably just present the bluffer with a town scarf this time.

It's in our village school now and more cases reported locally this last week so it's another lockdown soon I would imagine.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles
When de Pfeffel speaks to the nation at 5pm today and inevitably blames northerners for everything, from obesity fuelling pie production to whippet cradling, remember that if Dom had paid his backdated council tax and Jenrick was kept away from the envelopes and other stationery, the Govt might have been able to bridge the £5m gap in funding for Greater Manchester.

Got my Boris bingo card ready:

Alas
Great British common sense
Alas
Channel the spirits of the Knights Templar
Alas, alas
Alas, alas, alas



Boris has got some new material.

“Between Scylla and Charybdis”

PM has obviously been brushing up on his Greek mythology instead of running the country

I'd imagine a fair proportion of the general public will be wondering what the late, great Cilla Black has to do with this..


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Given what I’ve just seen in a local pub I’d say this is about social control and nothing more...literally watched a bloke walk to the toilet, stop to speak to someone on another table and told he needs to sit down by a door man...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

Consistent with their brilliant communication method of leaking it days before actually commenting on it.
Nicely paywalled in the Times again.

The Conservative Party again bringing Labour policy from recent history (which was criticised by Tories at the time) back as Conservative policy. If we’d gone for two weeks on the 21st of September as SAGE recommended would we have needed a month next week? Who knows but I think we’ve all got a good idea.

Widely commended at the time:

There was no immediate official response from Downing Street, but a senior government source took aim at the Labour leader without ruling out his plan.
“Keir Starmer is a shameless opportunist playing political games in the middle of a global pandemic,” said the source.
"He says he wants a national lockdown but he’s refusing to vote for targeted restrictions in areas that need them most”
Tory MPs echoed the criticism, with former chief whip Mark Harper describing the circuit-breaker proposal as “short-sighted game-playing”. Workington MP Mark Jenkinson said Sir Keir’s “one-size fits all” approach would cause “untold damage” and accused him of being ready to “destroy this country on a whim just to play his political games”.

Leaving politics out of it Boris is just following expert advice and trying to do his best for all.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
