The big winners out of this will be labour as they will win the next election by a landslide.

 

I think you underestimate the power of a half price burger, Monday to Wednesday.

They have 3 to 4 years to re write history. Old money is new money, lockdown started a week before lockdown started, it’s the French that have cost us jobs, not Brexit (so its a bloody good job we left when we did). They’re already looking at re visiting how many people actually died specifically because of covid with a view to get the numbers down.

Then, we’ll have almost all media telling us ‘you think this is bad? Imagine if the socialists were in power’.

I hear you, there is some kind of bird that chirps constantly for what seems most of the day just outside my office window that even the cat is scared to death of (backs the cat off easily) Looking into buying an air gun 

To shoot the cat for cowardice?

Don't shoot birds. Don't shoot anything. Shooting is bad.

The witless pricks that voted for the Tory filth should sort out the mess they made, but they're doubling down stupid.

 

 

Stupid post xann. Calling people pricks because they voted for a party you dont agree with is very  silly.

I didnt vote conservatives but i wouldnt call someone that voted them a prick. They are entitled to vote as they please.

How many people do you think voted for Theresa May, or Rees Mogg, or Mark Francois, Peter Bone, Priti Patel etc etc because they were thinking these people would make society a bit fairer, a bit nicer. That they would level the playing field and not just think of the profit margins of their chums in business?

How many thought, well the disabled and the poor and the youth are having a bit of a hard time of it, to reduce some of the hurdles these people face, I’m going to vote for Iain Duncan Smith or Chris Grayling?

So you think calling anyone who voted conservatives pricks is acceptable?

It's quite possible for someone to be both entitled to vote as they please and be a prick.

Yes but he said ALL big difference. Generalising everyone is stupid and wrong.

Of course with every group you will have One or two but labelling them all witless pricks is wrong

It’s more a reflection of the opposition that somebody like Boris Johnson could have had such a landslide victory in the last election than anything else

It seems completely acceptable to me to judge someone by the things they believe, say, and do, so yes.

You not liking it doesn't make it incorrect.

If Labour has won and we ended up in a similar mess then everybody that voted labour would he called pricks too.

Everyone that votes is a prick in someones eyes.  
 

edit: I’m the prick that didn’t even vote!

Yeah, Corbyn would got all his offshore tax avoiding confectioner mates to provide PPE for NHS staff instead.

There is no way this Tory government and BJ were the clearly sensible, rational-person's alternative. My opinion of course, but I see this Tory government (as in this version of the Tories) as one of the most horrendous, self-serving groups of people possible.

But anyway, I'm sure it's been said many times before.

There are different ways of getting in to a mess.

You can do it because circumstances changed. You can do it because you tried something and bigger international forces conspired against you to make sure it failed. You can be well meaning, but wrong in execution or principle.

Or you can set out to deceive people and make you and your rich chums richer.

This is not a tory / labour debate. I don’t think Lib Dem voters are pricks, or Green Party voters, or WNP or a dozen others.

There is one party that always always reverts to greed and spite. Again, nobody, absolutely nobody voted for Rees Mogg or Francois or May or Fox, Duncan Smith, Grayling, Bone because they wanted the world to be a fairer more equitable, caring place.
