Kinnock has had flack.

Kinnock isn't leading the country, or indeed, leading the shambolic defence against this virus.

Massive difference.

The presses response is also a massive difference.

Dont get me wrong I think the bloke is a **** but the whole media frenzy seems out of proportion.

A friend of mine couldn’t see her mother before she died and best she could do was say goodbye on an iPad. Piers morgan (don't like him) but he did make a good point about how this pandemic affects people differently depending on whether you’ve been affected.

I know two people who have died, along with another at one our factories the other week who I didn’t know but were on the same payroll.

My friend had a rocky relationship with her mum, and now feels massive guilt she couldn’t settle it when she was dieing. And Cummings think he’s above the rules and can do what he wants?

Cunmings or his wife could’ve potentially given it to a couple of people, which means he’s contributed to R going up. He’s no doubt stopped at services unless he’s got one hell of a bladder, visited tourist sites and been in the vicinity of the public.

He and his wife are potentially passing on a lethal disease.

That for me is unforgivable before we get to the principle that he should lead by example.

It comes to something when you're thinking back to the 'good old days' of David Cameron being Prime Minister, this lot are making him look quite good!

A slightly scary thought, but, as is becoming clearer by the day, the Lib Dems actually succeeded in keeping some of the Tory nutters at bay in the coalition.
 
Cameron I'm afraid was an enormous incompetent who handled the aftermath of the financial crisis appallingly and then allowed the Brexit vote to happen, sadly I cannot look at him and think the 'good old days'. Blair maybe but then the war in Iraq pretty much defines his legacy.

Rather him than May or BoJo sat in No10 Pangloss, any day of the week for me, and believe me I'm no Tory. Could have said Blair I suppose but I was only 5 when he was elected!
 
The way I saw it with Cameron, he fed the british public anti-EU propaganda for years - wanting concessions from the big bad German dictators, whinging at the benefits the French farmers got but not us, and riling the country up with scary stories of Turkey joining.

He promised a referendum during his 2nd campaign if I’m not mistaken, I assume because UKIP we’re taking the old codgers away from blue.

The Daily Mail, Express and the Sun day after day with anti-EU sentiment to a british public who didn’t understand the EU and the way it worked (me included). In fact, how many of us even bothered to vote for our MEP of choice? I didn’t.

On a domestic level, I didn’t mind Cameron during his first term at times in terms of his wit and presence, I also liked Osbourne as someone who I thought did the job well. But they went way too far with the cuts, and I know that’s affected some on here.

We’ve had some terrible PM’s, elected and unelected. The job just doesn’t attract the cream of the crop, it needs a shake up that’ll never happen.

Funny after my brain op my eye sight was badly affected, I didn't think to drive 30 miles to test that I put my keys away and didn't drive again (for 2 years as it happens)

The police can now arrest him though:

Public endangerment is usually applied to crimes which place the public in some form of danger, although that danger can be more or less severe according to the crime.

What a stupid fucking excuse that was! Honestly, couldn’t he have thought of something better?

I always thought that just carried on from John Major really, I think Starmer will be the same, he's just the lastest breed of a champagne socialist multimillionaire. His Dad was a toolmaker I believe, he's certainly learned to talk pretty posh.

There's really very little difference in any of them none of them represent Mr average ordinary working person because that person doesn't exist either

You're not a genius strategist like Dom though are you, only someone of his intelligence and education could have thought of it.

The plebs are all annoyed that one of the elite broke the rules they themselves set. The government essentially ignore it, say he's a great dad and what rotters the left wing (what a laugh) media are to question him. We should all know our place. Rules are for us not the great and good of the land. If some grubby tradesman like that Dr seeing his bit on the side breaks the rules then he's out but Dom us in with Boris so we should just accept it all no questions asked.
 
Seriously though what on earth must Cummings know about Boris to have had half the cabinet come out and back him with those stupid copy paste statements on twitter. Considering the shit everyone already knows about him, sacked for lying multiple times, cheating on all his wives, unknown number of kids what possible dirt could Cummings know that would hurt him now.
 
Raab resigned from May's cabinet on principle. You doing that again Raab? I tell you what, if he did, he'd put himself in line to be a future leader of the party.

He won't though, obviously.

Without looking Raab is probably in pole position for the job if it came up, so you’re right he won’t.

As for where Keir Starmer came from I really couldn’t give two shits he’s closer to me than any of the Eton lot even if he is still far from my humble upbringing. My mate Gavin from year 6 who works at Kwik Fit isn’t busy at the moment, shall we give him a crack at number 10 🤔

I'm led to believe there's a specific section dealing with eyesight problems that would go far beyond simple public endangerment, I'm trying to find it again, as even if it was only a couple of points and a fine - using the road for an apparent eyesight test with the associated risk of failing (when he could've quite happily toodled around the property on private ground) would be a definite offence.
