Me too @SerendipityJane
So many died who didn't need to.
I "attended" too many zoom funerals.

Ah the sound of a Tory voter dreaming up excuses for 'their' PM and castigating another. It was just a bit of cake.

I seem to remember there was an ambush by cake - clever old cakes they had in Downing Street in those days. Must have been a Labour cake.

Well I reckon this thread will need to be replaced today.

Wheelie suitcases full of cake might have been a touch more acceptable.
Although I suppose the garden swing would be even more likely to be broken.

Me too. Harder and earlier would have given us shorter and less deadly. It wasn't Starmer who let large scale public events go ahead when it was visibly hitting the fan in Italy already.

Or -
Thread 52. The King is dead. Long live the King of the North.

Surely must be Brexit flavoured given the date.

I am sorry to hear about your son @derxa, but I don't understand the Starmer connection.

An Myghtern yw marow. Re vewo an Myghtern a'n North!

In Cornish.

Remember Cheltenham ? That was when I knew we weren't going to do pandemic properly.

Let's hope when the next pandemic comes it's not too lethal - because we are well fucked if it's another C-19 or worse.

@SerendipityJane
It was Cheltenham and that champions league match going ahead plus de pfeffle refusing to wear a mask and insisting on shaking hands with everyone that made me truly realise the nightmare about to unfold.

Another suggestion for thread title Starmer: Then We Came to the End.

They think it's all over, it is now.

Love it 😁

You're probably busy but new thread link?

Brexit posts just reminded me that I'm running out of loo roll...

People so miserable and he’s calling for more misery. The people that should have been looked after were care home residents. Both Boris and Nicola let them down badly. Scotland was worse than England.

If the lockdowns had been shorter he might have been less affected, but I’m sorry that the Tory policies caused him to be ill.
It may be true that nothing benefits you personally, but a lot of it benefits a lot of others. Personally I’m not entirely self centred in my political approach.

You probably don’t own a small business like a pub or shop with spiralling costs. None of these measures help people like that.

I don't disagree about care home residents, but not sure what that has to do with Starmer.

As for misery, the person who is most at fault for spreading misery and fear is that utter fucking bastard Farage. He cynically weaponised the Southport murders and has continued in that vein ever since.

Starmer's biggest error apart from Mandelson, IMHO, was trying to appease Reform voters rather than tackling Farage's hateful rhetoric head on.

But they do help some very vulnerable people
