And the worst thing of all that people do is vote for two utterly stupid thingsAll rather subjective Danidl..
Throughout this entire episode there has been contradictory opinions and desires of way forward. People were not forced to attend Cheltenham, they went there knowing full well we were at start of an epidemic, business leaders were saying one thing, some MPs another. Examine the response of many on first advice from Government. I, m not social distancing, I, ll still be going to pub etc etc.
Today has been quite typical. Folk up in arms about Cummings and his outpourings then others moaning that some areas might not be leaving lockdown quick enough.
Yep, we all know now what we should or could have done... Son in law attended Cheltenham against my advice, do we really need Boris to pass a law for public to be sensible. He went, and like you is now blaming Boris for letting him.
Corbyn at that time was telling us all he wouldn't be changing his behaviour.
Its not just the government that needs investigating, it's stupid people aswell. From folk refusing to do anything different, refusing jab, sending kids to school after positive results, folk putting business before their own and families safety... Then blame somebody else...
When it comes to stupid things to vote for, there's no shortage.And the worst thing of all that people do is vote for two utterly stupid things
- Brexit
- The Conservatives

The crazy thing about Cummings pointing out all these faults of Government, Hancock and Boris is that he, s simply raising issue of exactly what was his own roll in all of it, if it was so bad why wait till now, perhaps a year too late... On top of which he, s not only pointing out his own failings, those of all those he, s accused and those of entire opposition system. Can't remember Starmer actually not supporting any stance at time decision was made, Captain Hindsight generally waited a few weeks to see how things were going before he expressed his opinion.Funny, isn't it, that last spring Cummings' Barnards Castle story was endorsed by Johnson himself - and implicitly supported by the whole tory party. (Some might well have not been happy, but once Johnson provided support, they had to either accept or overthrow Johnson. And we all know which they chose.)
Now they are coming out to get Cummings - and it is they who are really revising everything. They re saying they didn't believe then, they don't believe now. Most of us simply didn't believe at all - all the way through.

I think you're looking for fig leaves again. Although, they are all bad and self serving. This may be poor taste, but I was thinking Dom should take this matter to its logical conclusion by having a risque affair with a Frenchman of dubious character and being chased around London by paparazzi.The crazy thing about Cummings pointing out all these faults of Government, Hancock and Boris is that he, s simply raising issue of exactly what was his own roll in all of it, if it was so bad why wait till now, perhaps a year too late...

As is my practice, I will not be commenting on individual British politicians, however I would strongly disagree that it is not time for a review of what the UK did wrong with CV19 in the March to October 2020 period. . You might be taking slight comfort that the current daily death toll in the UK is now small... But the overall in deaths per million of population, the UK was one of the worst in the world , and had none of the excuses that say Italy had. . That cries out for explanation.The crazy thing about Cummings pointing out all these faults of Government, Hancock and Boris is that he, s simply raising issue of exactly what was his own roll in all of it, if it was so bad why wait till now, perhaps a year too late...

I, m also beginning to think this criticism and examination of our Covid failings is getting rather insular and taking us away from the real issue. Three and a half thousand people have died today of Covid in India, just under 500 in USA and around 250 in Germany. Rather than playing blame game and looking to past we should be looking how we get out this mess, and help rest of world do same. On a world stage this Pandemic is not yet half run? But here we are with many demanding an enquiry???

Euro 7 probably won't happen for a while longer, by which time the e-car or plug-in hybrid only rule will be in force, And whether hybrid can be banned before 2035 depends on how production of pure e-cars goes.Analysis: New rules could make ICE engines unviable by 2026 | Autocar
According to one trade body, Euro 7 emissions proposals pose an early danger to combustion carswww.autocar.co.uk
Including hybrid?
Funny though I remember Euro 3 and 4 being in pipe line. Many thought their targets could not be met.. But they were, some by cheating, but not all.
It could have made a huge difference without the way he handled things. His bullying approach caused immense harm in the fight against Covid.Would we really be better off if we sacked Hancock? A few might feel better and feel appreciative for their little victory but on scale of things would make no difference at all.

That is as maybe. But holding politicians to account is always useful. If they realise that what they do might well be scrutised 9 months later, they might be more circumspect in their behaviour. Otherwise the tendency is to behave like a St Augustine .".with a God give me the gift of Chastity , but not just yet" .. with the time being 3 years later in never never land.What all 3 of you are forgetting completely is that the real answers to how to cope with next pandemic, or even this one, should not come from politically motivated questions and certainly not from jealous personal ambition nastiness as demonstrated by Cummings.
Most questioning on here is not about what we do next, it's along same lines as Barnard Castle fool, motivated by hate of Boris or more generally hate of Tories.
If this witch inquisition works and Boris/Tories are ousted (which isn't going to happen any way) we will be none the wiser.
As a priority we should be looking behind the politics and asking the real questions and finding real answers to take us forward. At the moment it's like kids in a playground"you did this and you said that".
We don't seem capable of prioritising and homing in on real issues, they are all mixed up with old grievences about Boris, Tories and even Brexit.
Its actually quite pathetic and obviously politically led.
We should be looking for the answers to questions that prepare us for next time and not use this as an opportunity to attack individuals as scape goats.
For example
Why were Asian communities so badly affected?
Is far more important than "should Hancock have been sacked". (15 or 20 times?)
Would we really be better off if we sacked Hancock? A few might feel better and feel appreciative for their little victory but on scale of things would make no difference at all.
Holding politicians to account is not what is happening. Hancock has been singled out because of his poor associations with Cummings. His mistakes (15 or 20?) are incidental. Pretty much same with Boris. Fall out is through a failed relationship and not objective assessments of situation.That is as maybe. But holding politicians to account is always useful.

Yep, it points out what many have been saying for months, the utter stupidity of hybrids. Making an ICE less efficient by dragging around electric motors/batteries or reducing efficiency of ecars by dragging around ICE was always a flawed idea, relying on marketing and misinformation to sell them.Of course including hybrid!
My ICE car can get as good or better mpg on the right sort of run as the hybrid I often drive.
The hybrid is far better for jumping into and pottering into town and back. Maybe five miles round trip. If I extend the trip a bit, like going to check the sea is still there, I have been able to get 80 mpg.
But drive to Cardiff along the motorway and the ICE beats it hollow. I can get over 60 mpg out of the ICE in good conditions at speed limit. At higher speeds, especially, the hybrid can drop below 50 mpg.
