The Politics Thread

You know, I don't think this has gone away...

China's not really communist any more. Their own description is that it's the people's democratic dictatorship!
Winnie the Poo made himself President for life in 2018, which caused Trump to suggest that the Americans should give it a shot.

 

It's so scary. If Trump wins the next election after all his lying,cheating and probably money laundering,together with his mob....that's it for America......and the world.

 

Since the Tories are whinging about the big, bad media publishing untrue things about Cummings, I have to ask: does that include The Spectator article written by his wife claiming the two of them remained at home after testing positive for Covid?

 

And in this hour's "Cummings is a sociopath" news...

 

Lies so ridiculous that Gove just laughs about it and gives up. This is what they think of the electorate.

 

Nope, it's not going away

It's almost as if, after months of Covid being the only story, people are thankful to have a second one to discuss...

 

Just got home from work, and on the car journey more often than not I hear the dulcet tones of Mark Strong giving the latest Covid advice. Therefore as of about one hour ago I can advise you, the instructions are "do not leave home if anyone in your family has symptoms". There were no qualifications given, like childcare or visits to Durham. Doesn't that kind of clear up whether he broke the rules or not? I'm surprised that someone in the daily briefing hasn't put that back to the government for comment.

Now heard that they are going to look at the fines given for people using childcare as the reason for their journey indicating (1) up until DC's trip it was against the rules and (2) they are now prepared to change the rules - and undermine their whole strategy - for the sake of one person. People could die as a result. I'm sure they don't care but it could happen.

Finally regarding the mad Barnard Castle trip, the whole eyesight thing makes no sense at all (1) if you think your eyesight may be impaired, what happens if you go for a drive and it turns out your eyesight really is impaired - you could do far more damage than you might get from Covid! (2) if you are testing your eyesight, why take your family with you because you are endangering them! (3) I don't think eyesight impairment is actually a symptom of Covid anyway. So basically the eyesight excuse is either a lie, or a really really stupid thing to do - neither of which reflects well on DC.

So many holes, so little material to repair his bucket. Delilah.

 

So there's a theory going about...

The news readers have to start their segment as though they are giving out cricket scores. "Today we had more runs,sorry,deaths,to reach a hundred!"

 

Meanwhile, the idiots who insist that Covid is no worse than flu and/or you're fine as long as you're under 70 are somehow getting emboldened, even though the bodycount continues to tick up in nations other than those that took strict lockdown measures PDQ such as Denmark, South Korea, New Zealand and Greece - all because notable complete ****ing idiot Elon Musk says lockdown is a waste of time and he'd rather be tanking the value of his company in a single tweet from his local Starbucks than his sofa

If only this Tory bugger had one of those masks...

In other news, there's now a Dominic Cummings game on the PS4

To be fair to Bob Boberts, he was in another country at the time.
He came out recently and separated from his wife, who threw the party as she was thankful to be rid of him. Probably...
He did travel 200 miles during the lockdown unnecessarily though, as is the fashion in the Tory party.

 

Fact checking = Election interference, apparently.
He's followed this up with about a million tweets and retweets about Obamagate, whatever the **** that's supposed to be.

 

This being the same person who blocks literally anyone who exercises their freedom of speech to criticise him...

 

This is a non story. The "party" was nothing to do with him and he had moved out from the family home after coming out as gay. All for singling out hypocrites, but this is a dead end.
