The science has left the building (4)

New thread inspired by Whitty and Valance exiting stage right today

Brilliant! Roussette

Sorry I said 'her'... I did mean 'him' , I was typing something elsewhere and not concentrating

Anyone seen the furore over Carole Malone's interview defending DC this morning?

I saw Carole Malone, but not seen the reaction to the interview.

She is a hugely irritating woman, that I do know.

She was up against Owen Jones and I agreed with him

Which doesn't happen often

Reaction to the interview isn't great and that's putting it mildly. Although I do love this comment

A baying mob outside his house, and yet...... not one of them saw him load up the car with wife and kid, and leave, or not come back for over 2 weeks. Funny that!!!

Sunak has been savaged over the Nando’s tweet.

They really are not reading the room.

So much has gone wrong for the govt because of the actions of one man

Dishy Rishi was riding high with his wallet out, seen as decisive and clear

Boris had some sympathy because of his illness and because he had at least some good sense to flank himself with scientists who were persuasive and believable

The majority of the country were following guidelines even if they didn't quite seem to make sense at times

Now....allllll gone to shit in the blink of an eye

You gotta love the british humour...

It's real.
'A new video game lets you drive to Barnard Castle, making fun of Government adviser Dominic Cummings' controversial trip to the County Durham beauty spot last month.

The PS4 simulation enables players to cough their way through a blurry, obstacle-ridden drive to the castle - all with a screaming child in the back of the car.

The description reads: "Dominic needs to get back to work. But his eyes have went all weird. Best drive to Barnard Castle with his kid just to make sure its [sic] safe to drive to London."

And this....

The Monster Mash is now the Durham Dash

Sunak might have gotten away with if he has announced hairdresser re-opening....

50 MPs hae broken ranks. And 8 Cabinet ministers who want to remain anonymous.
Here they are

at the Durham Dash, brilliant

Couldn't have put it better myself

No surprises our MP isn’t on there.

Any idea who has drawn the short straw to attend the daily briefing today?

Oh my word "The Durham dash" 🤣🤣 laughed far to hard all the way through that!

Or mine!

So who will be left off the list by the end?

Boris Johnson
Matt Hancock
Rishi Sunak
George Schapps
Suella Braverman
Robert Jenrick
Dominic Raab

Any other garunteed supporters?

Any other swayers?

My Mp isn’t on there either, but local grapevine suggests he has been doing his own bit for ignoring lockdown with parties etc 🙄. So no wonder he hasn’t had time to reply to my email. Twat couldn’t leave me alone when he wanted a vote.

The difference in response to an email from my DDs MP to mind (both Tory) is staggering. But her MP is on the list.
Mine isn't, and it was a very mealy mouthed reply

I’m glad some of you have been getting replies. Mine hasn’t bothered to...

Yeah mine can't even be bothered to reply.

What's the speakers email? Someone said to copy them in because they must reply then.

I'll just copy and paste my previous 3 emails and add little bits each day.
She may just reply some old shit just to silence me

Cricket it's very unusual. He hasn't replied to my previous two emails which were sent on other issues last year and year before. Perhaps he had to wheel in his assistant to copy and paste because there were so many

@CricketCrocket

I’m glad some of you have been getting replies. Mine hasn’t bothered to...

I got an automated my inbox is very busy reply, so I guess that counts as a reply.

Poor old Rishi has gone from hero to zero so fast.

I didn't see the Carole Malone interview. I'm off to see if I can find the gory details.
