O/T Even the Tory Party are Blaming Johnson!

Unable to resist responding with another load of bolleaux. Hardly surprising though from a Tory. He seems to think that rA never leaves his "study" to get out. I have it on good authority that rA does, indeed, depart ramAgram Residence regularly. Not only for shopping locally but also for sojourns into the countryside and into that great footballing town of Derby (now a city and one that Brian Clough thought worthy of the adjective he used, one he also said didn't fit our dear neighbours....... from rabid red dog rabble ham(let)) to partake of the nectar-like delights of some of the city's better hostelries.

It seems TTR has allied himself to the party that best fits his (lack of?) personality and the poor character traits he shows on here. Quite frankly, they probably deserve each other.

Nil illegitimi carborundum rA.

Hardly a Tory, he is self styled victim who follows whatever "dog whistle" politics appeals to his self image as a member of the down trodden masses! Or at least speaks in words of one syllable and simplistic tones which he is (just) able to grasp!

Cheers, MA. I’ll try not to.

Tbh it’s Covid that’s had the biggest personal impact in terms of cancelled holidays, gigs, theatre trips and family/friends but that’s the same for many and pales into insignificance compared with the experience GP spoke of elsewhere.

The PM/Government just fills me with despair because so many people seem to be accepting of the levels of dishonesty and incompetence that we have all now become used to.

TTR really doesn’t figure...he creates his own deluded and skewed view of everything from me to our EFL charges and frankly his whole world view.
Think I’ll follow mista’s advice and just ignore him...in the meantime I’m off to give the gardener and the maids their instructions for the day before checking on the Orangery and returning to my reclusive study based lifestyle where, in the company of Colonel Mustard, I will continue to hatch plots against lovable, harmless old BoJo.

Read a piece earlier today that a company owned by a Tory backer that was started in 2016 and has lain dormant ever since has had 40 odd million in contracts for PPE. Medical supplies are NOT that company's stated business.

Farage is only interested in promoting things that are beneficial to Farage.

Mogg wants to go back to the times when folk like us would tug our forelocks and grovel at his feet.

The less we see of either, the better I'll feel.

Right pair of Jodrells IMO and I think MoP agrees, His comment was merely intended to yank a few chains........

[mistaram]

Farage or Mogg would be perfect replacements for Borris IMO. I'll just put on my tin hat!

You have to become an MP first how many times Farage failed

I'm looking to visit a few friends in Blighty once the quarantine requirement for visitors from the Netherlands has been lifted. Might not be far off. It applies to all countries/regions with over 20 new cases per 100,000 of the population. The past 4 weeks the Dutch figure has been just over 20.5

Almost there.

Lol...sad that people need it, but they do.
The woman on the news who described fellow (maskless) passengers on her flight back from Greece as ‘uneducated where Covid is concerned’ appeared to be using ‘doublespeak’ for ‘my flight was full of d**k’eads’.

I’ll pm you about holidays, Andy.

There was one dickhead (a woman actually so not sure the phrase applies) on my flight who abandoned her mask after ten minutes and refused to even acknowledge anyone who asked her to put it on, including cabin staff, and despite the fact that her travelling companion wore one throughout the flight!

BBC not biased?
The new boss( on £525 000 p.a), recognises it is and also that it needs to move to subscription. Finally, someone recognises that a "neutral" news source has real problems with the way it conducts itself and how it raises its money. For those that don't know, the new guy was in charge of BBC studios, who actually "made" £1.4 billion in profit by selling BBC goods. It also recently aquired one of the internet catch up tv groups which makes its money by(shock/horror- advertising)So it can make money when it wants to, but choses to hound OAP's instead.
Johnson announced today, that it will be decriminalised and they know the writing is on the wall.
It's outdated and was dying on its feet anyway. Much as those on here that love the BBC, the youngsters dont care for terrestrial tv and won't get a license anyway. Game over.

However, these are Tim Davies words on it.

Rallying the troops as he took over from Lord Hall this week, he said that staff should work hard to deliver on the views of the entire nation, not a select elite.

The Beeb has faced a string of controversies over recent years - with accusations of left-wing bias and hiring a string of anti-Tory reporters.

And it has been accused of only representing the views of the London elite, rather than the people and down the country.

"I do not want a subscription BBC that serves the few," Mr Davie said today.

He warned reporters and editors that surrounding the office with "people like us" who were only interested in "political shenanigans, internal dramas and the latest press flare-up" would damage the corporation and lead to its decline.

He said: "This is dangerous. It means that we can take our eyes off the key issue of how much value we are delivering to each member of the public, and the UK as a whole."

The Beeb will "renew our commitment to impartiality" in a bid to win back the trust of the nation, he promised.

"I want a radical shift in our focus from the internal to the external, to focus on those we serve: the public."

And he added: "Our research shows that too many perceive us to be shaped by a particular perspective.

"We urgently need to champion and recommit to impartiality. It is deliverable and it is essential."
