New thread as needed.

I wonder what new promises will come out this week?

My dad was discharged, stuck in a taxi and sent home at 3.00 am as they needed his bed. Thankfully he lived in a small village so when the postman found a half frozen, elderly man with dementia wandering around in the early hours, he knew which door to knock on. But this was 10 years ago.

Civil servants + WFH = Bad
Ministers + WFH = Good

Who does all this cosplay bollocks appeal to? Genuine questionHmm

Besides, you can’t u-turn a train, Lizzy so you might want to re think that one.

Sorry about your FIL country Flowers

It would all be funny if it was not so absolutely tragic for the lives of ordinary people. How can Tory voters live with themselves for foisting these awful specimens on us?

It can be fun (sort of) jousting with the Tory apologists on this thread, but now I am beginning to find it sickening. People have died, are dying and will die because of this vile government and the people who voted it in.

BTW, where is jgw1? I have not seen them for a while. I could do with a dose of sarcasm.

Thank God we did 'foist them on us' or else the last 2 years would have been much much worse, #BecauseJezza. You should thank us really. Trade deals, vaccinations, open economy, led on Ukraine, nhs covid backlog clear. It's just a shame BJ was ousted by Cummings led backstabbers or else I'm sure he'd have sorted the energy crisis too.

Here they are, they've hacked JaniieJones' account.

Well maybe jj has a point. We could have found a way to harness all that hot air he is fond of spouting.

Got a linkety link to back that up @JaniieJones ?

"BJ was ousted by Cummings"

We will skip over the fact that Johnson wanted to keep Cummings so badly that he overlooked the ridiculous Barnard Castle saga.

It doesn't matter how often you pretend otherwise the Conservatives got rid of Johnson themselves simply because he had become an electoral liability with an approval rating of 24% in June.

To be fair his approval rating had risen, it was 22% in January.

DuncinToffee · 12/08/2022 17:48

I am starting to read Janiie's posts in Trump's voice.

AndreaC74 · 12/08/2022 17:51

I think that for quite a while Janiie has been toying with us.

borntobequiet · 12/08/2022 17:52

worse, #BecauseJezza

God, not this again. I’m no fan of Corbyn, but I doubt a Labour government led by him would have done a worse job than the current lot, in fact it might well have handled the pandemic better. But it doesn’t matter, does it? We all know the shocking failings of the last two years, and things are getting worse now when they should be improving.

Piggywaspushed · 12/08/2022 17:58

Isn't Johnson still PM? Couldn't he busy himself sorting out the energy crisis, therefore? A last good deed.

@JaniieJones everyone is aware they can post what they like where they like. It seems you’re the one who struggles with that every time you start wailing about your right to do that.

If you offer an opinion then other people will offer theirs.
