O/T. The Government's handling of Covid

[Andy_Faber]

Or...Starmer remains polite and reserved while being accosted by a ‘shouty man’ who appeared to have lost the plot. Quite how the ‘Opposition’ can be ‘responsible for thousands of deaths’ escapes me but it seems silly, old Tricky has returned.

Sorry I was a bit confused, I thought it WAS Tricky. Stand easy chaps.

Lol...or maybe a hybrid of Tricky and Barbara ‘git outta my pub’ Windsor.

Not really, I'd have thrown the charlatan out on his arse and his goon.
Watch the ripples from this.

In your dreams! I suspect ‘his goon’, as you put it, can probably handle himself a lot better than you.

As for ‘ripples’...I doubt it. Sure Starmer was ‘rattled’...reasonable people often are by loud mouthed aggressive attention seekers...but he remained perfectly calm imo.

As usual you’re looking for a ‘stick’ to beat Starmer with. You’ve chosen the wrong one and you still haven’t even begun to explain how the leader of a totally outnumbered opposition can possibly be responsible for any...let alone ‘thousands’ of pandemic deaths.

Stick to beat Starmer with? He beat himself.
How should he have handled it? Well personally, I'd have said sit down and tell me your gripe. You nod your head and even if you don't agree with him, politely tell him why.
To tell him he doesn't "need a lecture from him" was patronising tosh. He is a Labour voter and he has the right to his opinion to the Labour leader on walkabout canvassing.
Did you actually read it? He wasn't blaming him for the thousands of deaths alone. He was calling him out, for failing to do his job, as a strong opposition leader. The fact the opinion pols contimue to support.
As such, he has jumped from fence to fence and shrivelled away at the slightest sign of pressure.

This was as big a car crash as Browns. bigot blast. The man is a multi millionaire who couldn't be bothered to talk squarely with an irate landlord.
Personally, I thought it was hilarious and made Johnson look like Abraham Lincoln.

BTW, I have had to handle bigger "goons" than that one. I'm sure you've been told before, size isn't everything. (thats a joke btw, if it went over your head)

I thought Starmer handled himself OK actually. OK he had the Clockwork Orange guy between him and the shouty fellah but at least he didn't go down Prescott territory

My point exactly. Apparently big hard TTR would have sorted both Starmer and the ‘Clockwork Orange guy’...of course he would...empty vessels and all that.

Let’s be clear...the government appear to be doing an excellent job as far as the vaccines are concerned and few people have claimed otherwise, but Starmer didn’t deserve the attack from that ‘motormouth’ yesterday and far from there being any ‘ripples’ the only consequence I’m aware of is that the loudmouth’s business partner has publicly apologised.

Just comedy value as far as I was concerned, I couldn't quite grasp what the guy's issue was. 'nothing to see here'...

I'm a peacelover generally but I was sort of disappointed the minder didn't lose the plot and punch him
