I did

Ok. Fair enough. And you are (in my experience) always honest.

Getting rid of what?

Every country couldn’t get ppe, do you think labour would have got ppe

Lockdown earlier and shut the economy down costing more money

The **** has absolutely no social skills. Not saying a PM needs to be as entertaining and socially adept as me, but fuck me there have to be limits!

I am by no means a Royalist but the Queen did mean something to me because she was there throughout my entire life and this - THIS - if for none of the myriad other reasons is the reason to destroy the Tories. Faux patriots - their God is money their quest is self aggrandisement and their victims are anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Will those reform voters carry through, I bet quite a few will change back to conservatives we will need another vote afterwards to see if the vote is still the same.

I can counter that: vaccines. And badges.

Think your instincts around the timing are correct

We are in decline. Western society is in decline.

Ignore the top quote not sure how that has happened. It’s staggering how fast the Western society decline has and is happening.

My mortgage deal ended last year in December. Went from 1.5% to 5% (ish) or around £400 a month more. Although we added to the mortgage too, but not enough for £400 a month.

We opted for a 2 year fixed this time in hope that after this election the rates come down again

Similar but I opted for 10 years.

The rates forced my hands - 2 and 5 years fix was pushing near 6%

He’s just not a statesman and who carries a bag like that ?
