That wonderful example of chumocracy, the delicious Dido Harding, has declared that sending children back to school and encouraging workers to return to their work places was not expected to increase demand for testing due to increased infections.

My friends little boy who has what used to be called a "weak chest", and this is known to the school, was sent home to isolate for two weeks yesterday because of his usual cough despite having no other symptoms. Mother got letter from doctor stating boy suffers from croup and will send him back on Monday. Looking at the UK from abroad it is hard to dispel the notion that everyone is insane, starting at the top.

Lord grant me patience...
Which one of the newly sworn in Lords is your request made to GG ?


The Governmunch dare not shut Blackpool down, as the leminations are on, with the season extended into the New Year.

Good for Sir Van and his lockdown protest songs.

The Health Goon minister, Hancockup is presently on R4 "Today" with another edition of his half hour.

He has no credibility. His words are meaningless and his excuses unacceptable. His pants must be on fire.

I also listened to his drivel.

The interviewer was pressing him for a yes or no answer to the question "should we phone the cops if our neighbours are breaking the rule of six".

He wouldn't answer.

But for me, it's the question that's the problem!

FFS! Make up your own mind! Why the hell would you need to be told what to do by "the government"?

Question for you AtomKraft.

Did you think the minister was slurring his words at times ?

Has the pressure of continually dodging the truth and covering up got to him ?

I thought he sounded a bit funny.
Wouldn't surprise me if he was cracking up. They're making a giant 'James Hunt' of things.

While all our experts are criticising Scotland and Wales for 'doing it differently' it appears that Bonking Boris has made virtually no effort to involve the devolved administrations in this, so little surprise? According the Wales today - 1 phone call from BoJo in 6 months. 'He cannot be serious'!? Scotland is calling for an urgent COBRA meeting as well.

I suggest you vent your spleens at the no10 circus et environs before those who are trying to look after their populations.

Once again TGG, a health warning for you but this little chat seems a good summary of a lot of WTF...UK? Try more listening to the content and less shooting the messenger?

Topics covered are 6 months of Brexit, Covid-1984 lockdowns, track & trace failures, Farage praises Macron (!), 'following the science', some illegal migrants (of the 50,000 in UK!) being moved to ex-military barracks and so on.

We can but hope that Chris Grayling is not put in charge with moving the illegals back to France with his mythical bankrupt shipping company, once the Dublin Agreement no longer applies on 01/01/2021.



BoJo & Co are not going to have a pleasant (socially-distanced?) Sunday roast lunch when they look around at how badly they are perceived to be performing and observe the grumpy Tory MPs assembling in dark corners planning to rein in Number 10.

Did anyone notice the vicious deployment of Plod batons beating yesterday's lockdown protesters in Trafalgar Square in contrast to the previous treatment of the BLM protesters?

This will be remembered come the next plebiscite, though the options on offer are equally dreadful. ~X(

“Did anyone notice the vicious deployment of Plod batons beating yesterday's lockdown protesters in Trafalgar Square in contrast to the previous treatment of the BLM protesters?” How has the MSM treated this story? The evidence so far;

Stop Press: The police decided to break up a peaceful anti-lockdown demonstration in Trafalgar Square yesterday, injuring several people in the process, including a middle-aged woman. As Douglas Murray says in this week’s Spectator, all protests are not equal in the eyes of the police.

Someone who attended the protest describes what happened.

“Despite the good general mood, at the end things got a little ugly. People were peacefully dispersing and suddenly a group of police with helmets moved in and started blocking stairways out of the square. We ended up scrambling over a wall to get out after a copper pushed me on the stairs and yelled “move!” It was ridiculous, completely unwarranted behaviour – everyone was already leaving anyway. On the way home we saw some MSM reports about the police having to pen people in to disperse the crowd (not sure how that quite works) and there being injuries. I can honestly say that if they hadn’t turned up, people would have just left. There is stuff on the BBC about the demo having to be broken up, but that is nonsense. It just ended at 3pm. Very sad that a group broadly supportive of the job the police do, and one that showed respect for them by observing a minute’s silence for the police officer killed on Friday, was treated so badly (while police take the knee to BLM who want them defunded). You just couldn’t make it up.”

Pleased to see Farage agreeing with my interpretation of how BoJo's policy on C19 is determined.

Just to make youse in UK all feel better, apparently the bars in our Parliament are NOT obliged to close at 10pm local time.

So that’s all right then...

He confirmed "alcohol will not be sold after 10pm anywhere on the parliamentary estate".

Here's a BIG surprise: Experts reckon that BoJo's 'promise' of rolling out fibre broadband across the country by 2025 will probably be missed by between 2 to 8 years. Remind me again how you know a politician is lying........

boac asked: “ Remind me again how you know a politician is lying........”.

Similar to the old question “How can you tell when the (airline) captain is lying?”.

A. His/her lips are moving! 🤣

AFAIK the news about the Parliament’s bars not being subjected to the 10pm curfew oozed out at 1000A today at the handover on TalkRadio from Julia Hartley-Brewer to Mike Graham.
The ‘Red Box’ item seems to have happened this afternoon in the MSM.
Does that imply that THEY might be keeping an ear to the alternative meeja frequencies?! :-bd

I wonder how last weekend’s Trafalgar Square protest would have ended had the elderly lady beaten to the ground by aggressive riot police been BAME?

The corrosion continues to eat away at the structure but thankfully folk like D M are brave enough to articulate what very many in the UK are thinking;
