No point in complaining about Boris, or even to him, for after all, you don't complain to the Monkey about the tune being played when the Organ Grinder is present do you?

Oh! Not that sort of OG. (Sorry, OG, not you!) DC.

in principle, yes. in practice you may want to step of the soap box. by voting for Brexit you put that flaccid deregulating twit in nr 10 and removed us from the environmental and consumer protection of the eu. and weren't you spouting Corbyn hatred a few pages ago and singing the virtues of the new alt right hijacked tory party. and that's before we get to the fact that companies simply cut costs because we consumers don't want to pay. You wouldn't be enthralled if that little porsche was suddenly 15k dearer because someone had to deconstruct it with skilled European labour would you? the buck, im afraid stops with us consumers, and until sea levels rise a few meters I don't see us properly locating our moral compasses

Its "step off the soap box" Agnew. Making room for a you to virtue signal.

How can anyone be in any doubt as to the awfulness of the current co-called government?

No 10 refuses to comment on PM's views of racial IQ

Move comes after hiring of new adviser who said black people have lower average IQs

I can see this damn Andrew Sabisky situation is not going away. I have written two books about Eugenics and race, teach it, at the place where it was founded, in the lab named after its creator, Francis Galton, where I was an Undergrad and still am a Fellow, so, some thoughts 1/n

Food for thought

"Interesting. Of the 2 cruise passengers that tested positive 2 weeks ago, now 454 are infected despite stringent containment.

How do you achieve stringent containment on a ship with a complex ventilation system?

No, what happens in Grimsby is shrouded in mystery to people in Hull.

Before the Bridge was built Lincolnshire was marked on our maps with the legend
"Here be Dragons"

 

[gw8izr]

it's because tory MP protect cigarette manufacturers.
Nothing stops our government to pass a law requiring all companies to be carbon neutral or health neutral.

Or indeed any other previous government for the last XXX years

The world is indeed a crazy place

"Health Protection Scotland (HPS) has issued guidance to the NHS to encourage services to prepare for the arrival of Coronavirus from next month. In addition, for the first time, a major campaign aimed at the public will launched using the slogan, “Stay at home. Keep it to yourself.”

Perhaps I could make a helpful suggestion

Put a large black cross on your front door and a body count , to make the clear up operation at the end of the outbreak simpler and help with rationing of body bags.

For those who want to be more helpful the Government will shortly issue a DIY guide to help construct your own personal body bag from Bin liners and duct tape.

Oh and of course you might care to make sure your will is up to date.

Will that prediction be any more accurate than for brexit, HS2, seafreight ferries, or numerous other government mismanaged schemes?

And it is all OUR fault for checking out what he had posted in public! And "media" for noticing.

If his forecasting skills are so super-mega-fantastic, how come he didn't predict this media hysteria?

But Sabisky himself tweeted on Monday evening: “The media hysteria about my old stuff online is mad but I wanted to help HMG not be a distraction. Accordingly I’ve decided to resign as a contractor. I hope no.10 hires more ppl w/good geopolitical forecasting track records & that media learn to stop selective quoting.”

He added: “I signed up to do real work, not be in the middle of a giant character assassination.”

It's really a cunning plan

You go home, get sick, you die.

No strain at all on the NHS, and you can't pin anything on Boris, as the dead usually don't complain.

Reminds me of a sign on the Gypsy fortune tellers little cabin on Whitby harbour side
"Closed due to unforeseen circumstances"
Honestly this really did happen!

Currently they are saying four in five only get a mild illness.

Which might leave an awful lot of aggrieved bereaved.

where was this giant? this guy hardly fits the description of a giant anything , other than proving an education won't cure abject stupidity.
Some clairvoyant, that can't see his mouth is his own worst enemy.
What is frightening is that some incredibly stupid person or persons thought to employ him for work of a confidential and important nature.
It really demonstrates that that they are as unfit for office as he clearly is and should resign in the public interest.

And a business opportunity for these two

Oops!

 

[oldgroaner]

Boris has made such a bad showing over the local flooding, and it’s quite possible to imagine if coronavirus strikes he will find himself unable to cope with it and the government could well collapse, from dIssent within its own party Due to a public outcry.
And while I would like to see the back of his party and him too,This situation is an awful prospect, and he needs to be taking steps to reassure the public that something is being done to deal with the situation as it unfolds, not just ignore it as seems to be happening now
The notion you can tell people to stay home and keep it to themselves is insanity
This latest madness over eugenics put Boris in an invidious position, for if he does nothing and people start dying en mass It won’t be long before they start thinking not just that he doesn’t care, but that he actually welcomesThe situation Because of his being tainted with a belief in eugenics. In his own interest he better start making some changes to benefit the public health wise And demonstrate the proper emergency procedures are in place

That was a very long time ago!

I really really hope it doesnt go away. The longer it festers and boris remain tongue tied the more the great British electorate get a view of the ugly prejudice under the veneer of tory politics
