Go UK civil service!

Musicforsmorks · 24/05/2020 18:12

Left left left blah blah right right right, left lefty lefty, righty righty righty, blah blah blah o please stfu.

It’s childish.
Can’t we just have a sensible discussion without taking sides?
What about those of us who have none?

MaxNormal · 24/05/2020 18:12

ThePianist38 What a ludicrous and bizarre thing to say. Emailing an MP to express concern about a political scandal is exactly the right thing to do. This is just when they need to know the feelings of their constituents.

BIWI · 24/05/2020 18:13

emailing your local MP about a matter that he and the whole country was aware of is busybody childish behaviour

Grin

Don't be ridiculous!!!

Our MPs are there to represent their constituents and their constituents' views - how can they do that if we don't let them know what we think/feel?!

Or would you rather that no-one said anything and DC and BoJo get away with this kind of behaviour?!

You're too funny!

I love J K Rowlings response to Oliver Dowden who said DC followed the guidelines and looked after his family. End of story.

JKR replied, "“I know ending stories and this ain’t it, chief.”*

Let's hope she's right.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 24/05/2020 18:15

Well Johnson has totally revealed the contempt in which he holds those who voted for him.

Glad I wasn't one of them, but wtf happens now? By the time the election comes round in 4 years, all of this will have been forgotten.

1forsorrow · 24/05/2020 18:15

@Musicforsmorks but this isn't just about left or right is it. Steve Baker cannot be called left wing even if you delirious.

Reckon those two are going to be gone soon, taking the hit so the party continues...

whatashower · 24/05/2020 18:22

That was all such a doublespeak shitshow that I cannot even work out that if I actually stay at home and refuse to go out at all, whether I am doublebluffing the government.

I am now feeling the same heartsink and mortification I get when Trump does his worst. Wow.

JudyCoolibar · 24/05/2020 18:23

The nastiness from the left is astonishing

How do you account for the outright condemnation by the likes of Steve Baker? No-one in their wildest dreams could accuse him of being anything other than very right wing.

Or would you rather that no-one said anything and DC and BoJo get away with this kind of behaviour?! -they just did, with your email and all😂

deydododatdodontdeydo · 24/05/2020 18:26

The nastiness from the left is astonishing.

Keep telling yourself that if you must.
People who voted Tory are also livid about this.

PicklePig31 · 24/05/2020 18:26

You vote for them, they are accountable.

His rules, that everyone had to abide by, apart from him.

Absolutely flabbergasted. I always knew BoJo was spineless but this is a new low.

Never forget.

BIWI · 24/05/2020 18:28

Not necessarily @ThePianist38.

But yes of course they'd get away with it if no-one expressed any concerns

I'm not really quite sure what the point is that you're trying to make, unless you support DC's actions/Bojo's speech?

Pertella · 24/05/2020 18:31

I reckon ThePianist38 is after DCs job and is using this thread as a showcase for their mad spindoctoring skillz Wink

I have hopes. I mean, how many times in politics have we seen "we fully support x over such and such" and next couple of days the person resigns.

TwentyViginti · 24/05/2020 18:34

The Civil Service tweet is still up!

countrygirl99 · 24/05/2020 18:35

If being angry with hypocrisy and contempt for the general public is left wing I guess I must be. Does that mean if you are right wing you think that is ok?

kateandme · 24/05/2020 18:35

this is going to go away isnt it.im so angry i alm,ost want to cry.what an absolute pile of shit.wankers!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 24/05/2020 18:37

The Civil Service made the 6 o'clock news on the BBC! Brave person operating that account.

SusieOwl4 · 24/05/2020 18:38

Can someone explain where I have this wrong ? Him and his wife had the virus , they moved to another home to be close to their parents in case they needed some help with their child if they were too ill ?

They then stayed in that second home self isolating . They did not need their parents help .

The parents just got shopping and put it on the door .

The other trip is not proven ?

And all of the above is covered in the details of lock down ?

So what am I missing ?

And what on earth were the hypocrites of the press doing completely ignoring social distancing rules outside his house ?

derxa · 24/05/2020 18:39

Steve Baker cannot be called left wing even if you delirious. Steve Baker is an arch Brexiteer who thought he would get a cabinet post. He didn't and this is his chance to stick the knife in.

Clemmieandareallybigbunfight · 24/05/2020 18:41

Steve Baker has a very clear moral compass. He is certainly right wing but he's not amoral like Boris.
