Boris

[local]

I struggle to find any accepted definition of a far right government that matches the present Conservative Government.

[Hamble]

I really hope Corbyn does not catch coronavirus.
Nasty disease.
No one knows the long term consequences.
At the moment people feel lucky if they survived it.

I hope nobody catches it. Corbyn or anyone else. But they will, so I can only hope they get through it with as little pain and discomfort as possible.

Might be - but it is now pretty relevant. A new bill has passed, or is being passed into law. It is called the Covid - 19 Law. This is rather controversial at present since it calls on the general public to give up many of their Human Rights - supposedly for a two year period but which can be extended at will. The new bill means that people do not have to be asked to provide medical samples, the law provides that they will just be taken. That people will have to obey all instructions given them - which may be relevant to a pandemic or not. That any criticisms of the Government action on social media, etc., will be gagged.

What is the process of dissolving a law? Surely these new laws will be dissolved when Covid-19 is no longer an issue?


If it was to stay on in Law they would have to change it's name surely, it would sound ridiculous to convict somebody of a 'Covid-19' offence in 2023 and beyond.

is in hospital...

is in hospital...

Despite whatever else I think of him, I hope he fully recovers.

Nobody deserves that.

[Styx]

I wish him well at this difficult time.

Hope it's not more serious than they are indicating.

He has seemingly took a turn for the worse?

Perhaps those who dismiss it as just the flu might think a little longer.

Maybe he shouldn't have soldiered on ?

Who’s been to Peppa Pig World?!

Monday
I’m Peppa Pig!
This is Mummy Pig and this is Daddy Pig.
And this is a funny man who came to Peppa Pig World last weekend.
Who looks a bit like Daddy Pig actually.
But without the beard.
He rode on the car and he rode on the train.
And the ducks came and ruined his picnic.
Like the ducks always do.
“F***ing ducks,” he said.

.

Friday
I'm Peppa Pig!
Although you may call me Baroness Pig of Paultons in the County of Hampshire.
And I am now heading up a new NHS Test and Trace taskforce.
I shan't tell you all the details.
Nobody wants to see how the sausage gets made.
Especially me.
But let's just say that I have my trotters in a lot of pies.
If not in quite the way that other pigs eventually tend to.
And I am also available for other work.
Which technically isn't lobbying.
And between us I might be able to help you land some lucrative PPE contracts.
Although not that £20 million one for face masks.
Because Suzy Sheep is getting that.
Snort!

Daft.

I noticed on the news yesterday, Boris received his booster jab, he was shown entering a waiting room with around 30 or 40 people waiting patiently for their jab, he then strides to the the front waving like Santa arriving at a kids party to receive his jab, no waiting for Boris!

Why would he, who wants the circus that follows him there any longer than necessary while they are trying to give jabs out?

He is only there to try and cajole more people by seeing him get it.

A real setting is far more useful than him getting jabbed at number 10.

A few more famous faces would work wonders to dispel some of the anti-vaxxers myths.

Wheeling him Starmer and a few others in together would help and show this is above politics.

…except of course, NOTHING is above politics while Boris Johnson is involved

One rule for them and another rule for the rest of us, I would have been well and truly P!$$ed off if I had been one of those waiting.
