No you've just made that up.

No, he’s real, and we did think about installing a giant wave machine to swamp boats and potentially capsize them. Of course we could facilitate bringing children over safely, but then what would our ‘Clandestine Channel Threat Commander’ do with himself, apart from rogering Patel over his desk?

What was your point. And, eh?

You didn’t understand the original point? Weird but anyhow now I understand why you went off somewhere else.

confirms what we all know - I wish Jo Maugham all the best in his quest - I am pretty sure they will have a way around it but names will have to be named and questions asked on TV - not by the spineless client journalists that pass for serious reporters nowdays.......can we not bring Sir Robin Day back from the dead? Doesn't Paxman fancy one last crack at a Tory minister or two?

I don’t think they would have the bottle or nous to be interviewed by Paxman. They fall apart when Naga and Dan question them on Breakfast TV.

The striking thing for me is that have formally documented their wrong doing. I had assumed this was all going on over cigars and brandy at their clubs.

Which once again leads to the question 'how do they expect to get away with it?'

The disturbing answer I keep coming up with is that they have no intention of relinquishing power and will do whatever it takes. Once again echoes of Trump.

D -Notices, 30 year rules, whatever they can use will be slapped on everything because it took place under emergency laws when we were on a "war" footing. They don't care because they will all be dead or being fed through a tube by the time the info can be accessed.

Not sure they can prevent a future Government accessing whatever they choose.

But I agree they are using the pandemic as a cover for abusing the public purse.
