Many have said that if you wanted a way to get rid of the costs associated with the elderly and vulnerable, then just allow COVID to spread through the population.

That‘s literally what we’ve done.

I have now watched the full Cummings interview.

Whilst he may be discredited because of his eye related covid adventures and consequent lying, his interview is damning on Johnson, I can not recall another interview quite like it. He has basically trashed Johnson and shit all over his head.

The important point though out of it all in my opinion is what effect the interview has on the upcoming public enquiry. Cummings has removed the first brick and at the enquiry those closest to Johnson have to answer under oath and if Cummings account is vindicated as being correct the whole house could cave in, in fact the Tories as a party could implode.

With Labour currently a shambles, a Tory party disintegrating could reshape UK politics for a generation and it is quite feasible we have a complete realignment of UK politics.

A vacuum like that is either scary or quite an opportunity depending on your political persuasion.

Cummings is a complex individual, and it was difficult to grasp his motives at times, given his disdain for the political system and the tory party in particular.

I don't disbelieve what he said, but it was disturbing listening to him speak in defence of the lies spouted about brexit. He was visibly smirking, said anyone who believed anything about that decision being right or wrong was mad, yet he defended the bullshit associated with the leave campaign a compromise that was not misleading and fair game.

I would have liked to have heard him admit where he was working before he came back to the UK, who he was working for, and where the finance for the Leave campaign came from, but those questions weren't asked.

Yeah apart from that being bollocks, great shout.

I remember now, all the rest of what has happened is now brushed away as we got our vaccination house in order. This was the most obvious solution which anybody could have banked on.

Carry on, pal.

Be a great deal easier to just admit you were chatting shit. That or you simply don’t understand what the word “literally” means.

It’s clear what the governments priorities were - to avoid the NHS being overwhelmed at any cost. Nightingales, freeing up bed capacity, shutting down the economy, and preparing for the worst.

It was absolutely not some dastardly plan to kill off their core voter group.

Anyone seriously suggesting that was either knowingly trolling or lacking cogent thought.

Credit to the tories on here for still fighting the corner of the shit cunts in charge.
They must wake up each morning dreading to see the headlines informing them of the latest blunders and incompetence yet still bravely put across their arguments that everything is rosy and Boris has got this..
Delusion is a strange thing.

I’ve slagged off the Tories a great deal and wouldn’t vote for them next time but that doesn’t mean I’ll agree with any old shit that’s posted in this thread such as “The Tories wanted to kill off their main voter demographic”, mainly because I’m not a fucking idiot.

Looks like it’s about time for the British PEOPLE to get themselves a First Amendment, as freedoms continue to be curtailed due to politics.

We don’t need a first amendment. We just need to not adopt draconian new laws. The first amendment is moronic and gives rise to the like of Boebert and MTG, both of whom would have been jailed for hate speech.

Moronic is being afraid of free speech, and not understanding what does and doesn’t constitute that “free speech.“ The slippery slope will never be controlled by the people….and here they are in the UK, politicians seeking to curtail journalism!

Carry on.

First off we would have to get a constitution to amend.

What Patel is proposing here will I think put her in direct confrontation with the Judiciary. If Patel then uses executive power to override Judicial power we are in the realms of dictatorship. The checks and balances of the UK system will be gone.

Hypothetically if a Judge refused to impose a sanction on a Journalist for this "crime" and whilst I am no expert there is probably no precedent for it, Patel could step in and I would not put it past her at all because she is an authoritarian.

But as somebody posted quite glibly the other day, at least Patel has not laid wreaths at the graves of terrorists.
