Government Ministers 'avoiding scrutiny', well feck me, my ghast is well and truly flabbered.

But hang on, this is just about some toe-rag getting a gong isn't it, who really gives a FF about that ? Just recently we've been locked into our own homes, prevented from going to work, told to keep out of parks and off beaches, had the leisure and travel industry closed down, mandatory vaccinations, mandatory face masks, banned from visiting dying relatives in hospitals and care homes, weddings banned, restrictions on funerals etc. etc. and what scrutiny was there of any of these draconian measures ? None whatsoever, all waved through under emergency legislation, not a peep from HM Opposition, in fact they wanted the emergency powers to be longer lasting.

So forgive me if I suggest that anyone chucking their toys out of the pram over this bit of trivial 'scrutiny' nonsense, needs to get their priorities sorted out, and give their head a fecking great big wobble.
