    The 'the bluster and buffoonery' that @The Norton Cat mentioned.

    Yes, not everything in my response was directly in answer to your very brief post.

    Some of it was, the rest was in response to the general theme of the thread including the post from @The Norton Cat

    He's got himself confused and is just doubling down on it. Wasting your time, mate.

    You're not making any sense tbh.

    I am but it's interesting that no one has come up with a decent alternative. If I'm honest @Saff ...I'm not a great lover of the Tory party but the alternative is bloody frightening. I think any party in this pandemic would of suffered/struggled equally as the current Government. Perhaps I'm too naive to understand it all.

    Agreed. My bad. But you haven't answered my question on what games the current Prime minister is playing?

    I only play up to it on this thread, same as other people who bang the drum against Boris Johnson. I'd stop voting for the Tories in a heartbeat if a better option comes along. At the moment, it's only Labour or Conservatives that can hold the power. I hate what the Labour party has become, I won't lie about that. I've got nothing in common with their policies or any of their MP's or members that attend the party conferences. Ideally a new party would come through that holds centre ground that is genuinely for the working class and I'd be right behind them. I can't see it happening so I'll continue to vote to keep the Labour headbangers out of power rather than keep the Tories in power until something changes.

    I think all parties not in power should draw up a plan of what they would do and how the would pay for it, for every situation the current leaders of the government are dealing with.
    That way us humble voters would be able to tell for ourselves who we would think would do the best job, anyone can criticise what other people do wrong without giving a solution.
    Most countries dealt with with pandemic in different ways, all countries got somethings wrong.
    I would have loved to have known exactly what the other parties would have done differently at the time, not now as hindsight is a fantastic thing, we can all come up with a solution when we have the results to look at

    All too obvious tbh and not just on this thread.

    You just post whatever's contrary and not what you really believe.

    It's all just internet games.

    Yes I'm a fraud, just ask all those people I've let down with tickets, travel and accommodation ...

    ... about time something was done about it.

    I've just logged on today and the same poster sent me a PM at 1-25am, well after my bedtime. I've no idea what the message was but it was titled 'Your wife' with a picture that doesn't open. I'm assuming it was meant in fun.

    If he's been banned and is welcomed back at a later date I'll happily chat and debate with him unless he starts Wumming again.

    Lucky you... Mine arrived same time and was a repeat image of an@l penetration titled Enjoy... I'm now thinking this may not have been an olive branch but I've sent him a separate message hoping all is well.

    I had similar thoughts to, but decided to rise above the WUM, hopefully if he comes back lessons will have been learnt.

    I think he’d undoubtedly be more capable. Not a shadow of doubt on a personal level. Though dull. He’d run a steady ship, not like Johnson’s titanic. Basically Starmer isn’t a thick as whale piss bigoted lunatic. Are the labour party ready ? No I don’t think they are, but the Tory cabinet are also dreadful also.
    I didn’t vote for Brexit. I could see some reasons why, it felt like democracy in the uk was struggling because of lack of power, wages were being affected, but the Johnson Brexit is a car crash and what we were losing in wages will be the less harmful than the cost of living issue, benefit freezes and the NI increase for the poorest. Poverty is about to rocket. Watch this space.

    I agree with both comments here but glad someone also thinks capitalism is a disaster. I’d go as far as saying that this current economic system is evil. Why people who are the losers vote for the outright winners is beyond me.

    I volunteer for the North Cotswolds foodbank which has 2500 recipients ...

    ... this area is so affluent you'd think the council/whoever would level things up so people don't have accept charity.

    Something's wrong and it's getting worse.
