There's folk in their mid seventies wailing because their mother was taken from them too soon.

Angry because they had to die without anyone visiting them I understand.

But who wants to be in their nineties and sitting in a pool of their own pish in a home?

I believe IF found guilty, then he could get suspended from parliament, which in turn could trigger a by-election. If his local party choose to kick him out.
Considering he was selected just last week by his local party (Uxbridge?) to represent them at next year's election I suspect that won't be happening, if he were to be proved he lied to parliament.

We all know he will be found not guilty.

I'm 100% with you there. Saving to send myself to Switzerland when I get to such a state!

Sweden had the lowest excess death rate in Europe over the last 3 years, so they were right and everybody else was wrong. Except me.

But maybe you know more than global teams of scientific experts?

Lockdown started too late, that was the problem.
We should've gone in harder and earlier.

Except that's entirely wrong, and all their scandi neighbours, and other European countries, had lower deaths per capita.
