Did Steve Bruce feature at all? What’s criminal is those in power getting it so wrong. They knew about it and what was likely to happen well before the rest of us. They were better informed and had warnings from what was happening in the Far East but still did next to fuck all. Even when they’d dithered for far too long there was the example of Italy. Italy were supposed to be a special case due to the links with China through their textile industry and having an ageing population. We knew what was going on there, had more time to prepare and yet we’re on the same trajectory. They’ve shown they don’t give a fuck about the NHS staff, the care workers, the bus drivers, the supermarket staff, the whole fucking lot. You’re just an expendable stat to them. But I fully expect people to be more arsed about Love Island in about 12 months.

Prefer Norfolk’s maddest man

She’s quite good though. You have to love these mackems btw. Trying so hard to make themselves look authentic only to fail by not being able to spell

I might be missing something but doesn’t that make it even worse? I.e. two people working for the government and attending the meetings of a supposedly independent committee that they aren’t a member of?

Because this government does what the fuck it likes

The classic try to take the moral high ground but still trying to argue I was right pincer movement

Excuse me, does this bunch of keys happen to be yours?

Because that didn’t conform to their lazy stereotypes.

This seems to bringing everyone with even the most tenuous link to the club out of the woodwork

2+2 = twelvety

Tbf though they are long suffering and deserve success

Good point. Why doesn’t he just start supporting us now?

I fucking doubt the likes of Martin Samuels even knows who he is

“Twitter said it would not remove 5G and coronavirus misinformation, but would remove direct incitement to action.” Why am I not surprised?

I’d be worried about the insurance companies going under in a lot of cases too

That’s never Olive off On the Buses?

She does look familiar. Clue?

Curtis’ stuff is always worth a watch but he can veer off course at times. Which is almost inevitable given his subject matter. That, however, is focussed and on the money throughout whilst still in the style of his other work

When stupidity meets greed. Actually that could be CT’s second book

But people say country x is worse than country y because of z. As though you don’t need to look at the bigger picture. That said, the US legal system seems to be utterly fucked at almost every level. Putting that aside though, one of the reasons (the main reason) the Saudi state is able to act almost with impunity within its own borders and within the region etc is because of its close and long standing historical alliance with the most powerful nation on Earth. So US foreign policy is relevant to the discussion

I’m not sure what you’re not understanding about opening up the debate tbh.

I know. It’s not like it’s irrelevant to the debate though

In terms of the harm they do at home or abroad?

Story of my life these days
