Johnson has broken the law in relation to Covid contracts and misleading parliament. He should immediately apologise and put the record straight, or subject himself to an inquiry.

More chance of my bacon joint and leg of pork flying itself into the freezer!

Poor little kitten. .. ..Not so tough now he isn't backed up with thousands of redneck nutters.

"Of all the pictures that were taken during the insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January, one of the most famous is of a man sitting on a chair with one foot on the desk of the US House speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
That man, Richard Barnett, was told by a judge on Thursday that he is to remain in jail until his next court date in May.
Barnett, a self-proclaimed white nationalist, began to yell at US district judge Christopher Cooper, saying “it’s not fair” that he should remain in custody as he awaits trial".

Never mind, buddy. Enjoy doing your time...

Johnson has broken the law, again.

If £1 million was given to Dido Harding every single day to cover test and trace, it would take more than a 100 years to accumulate the total cost to date. Mind boggling number is £37 billion.

Like you Elgy (probably) I’ve no idea how the billions have been or will be spent, but looking at how we’ve gone from scratch to having the capability to test hundreds of thousands of people a day, it wasn’t going to cheap surely?
Some people seem to think that we’ve spent 20 billion on just an app.
The cost of building and staffing multiple labs and satellite testing sites was never going to cost peanuts.

A few saccharine cliches and platitudes but, as they say, "fine words butter no parsnips", especially when they come from someone with a record of right wing autocratic views like Truss. Lest we forget, she (along with the likes of Patel, Raab & Kwarteng) was co-author to that gospel of praise to unfettered, feral, dog-eat-dog capitalism "Britannia Unchained" - parts of which made even Ayd Rand seem like a bleeding hear liberal.
"British workers are "among the worst idlers in the world", a group of Conservative MPs has claimed.
The UK "rewards laziness", does not encourage risk-taking and must strive to emulate the work ethic and low-tax culture in parts of Asia, the five MPs argue in a book due out next month.
The authors include Elizabeth Truss and Dominic Raab, both tipped to be promoted in a future reshuffle.
"Too many people in Britain prefer a lie-in to hard work," they argue.
The other contributors to Britannia Unchained are Priti Patel, Chris Skidmore and Kwasi Kwarteng, influential members of the "class of 2010" - MPs elected to Parliament at the last election."


An opinion also shared by our glorious leader:

If we left the EU, we would end this sterile debate, and we would have to recognise that most of our problems are not caused by “Bwussels”, but by chronic British short-termism, inadequate management, sloth, low skills, a culture of easy gratification and under-investment in both human and physical capital and infrastructure.

Sloth, laziness and easy gratification - surely not Tavy's "white working class". So who must they be talking about?

Presumably the "white*-non-working class"? :ROFLMAO:
(In the interests of plurality doubtless other colours will be made available by our blue boys)

I don’t suppose the movers and shakers at the top of Tory Party today are that bothered with your 9 year old story Art. 😄
