Brexit

Westministenders: Crisis, which crisis ?

BigChocFrenzy · 29/02/2020 18:25

Main crises facing the government:

. Negotiating a Brexit deal with the EU
. Coronoavirus
. Floods
. Allegations of some ministers - and Cummings - bullying civil servants
. More trouble threatened from Turkey / Syria

Unfortunately with all these parallel crises, we have a workshy lying arse as PM
and the worst collection yet of incompetents in Cabinet
who seem to have decided on a strategy of bullying their civil servants to avoid hearing any facts that don't fit with current Tory party ideology

First US coronavirus death follows Trump claim outbreak is a hoax

Facts & science don't change, no matter how important the political ego denying them
Trump was bizarrely claiming that Corona virus is a big hoax orchestrated by Democrats to stop him winning the US election

  • doesn't bode well for tackling the virus in the USA

Fortunately for us, BJ has already won his GE < phew >

Thanks BigChoc, excellent summing up, 'Quick Carrie, let's announce the baby, it's all turning to shit (again)' - How very romantic!

Oh that's old news! Pop over to the Feminist board: it's already been discussed in detail.

How are the Brexit trade negotiations with EU going I wonder.

Back on topic, not that I am the arbiter, but still.

ListeningQuietly · 29/02/2020 20:36

I need to take some more cat pictures try not to use the same ones on different sites THANKS GOOGLE

OhMargo
Both sides have set out their stalls
sadly at the moment its more of the your mother smells of elderberries
than actual moving forwards
despite the EU being consistent since early 2016

Trump was bizarrely claiming that Corona virus is a big hoax orchestrated by Democrats to stop him winning the US election

To be fair, the Guardian's other headline on this topic today says that Trump called the Democrat's criticism [of his handling of the coronavirus] the 'new hoax' - not the virus itself;

I reckon Johnson has a super injunction on his kids and their mothers.

ListeningQuietly · 29/02/2020 20:56

I reckon Johnson has a super injunction on his kids and their mothers.
More likely they all despise him and refuse to engage

It’s hard to tell exactly what President Truman Trump is actually saying as most of it is unintelligible.

The White House verbatim transcripts of his pronouncements are quite baffling.

Perfect example here:

www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-meeting-african-american-leaders/

Look out for Trump’s verbal cock up accompanied by the right shoulder hitch and right arm chicken wing impression.

He’s neurologically fucked up big time.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 29/02/2020 21:02

Didn't he try and have an injunction about his daughter (Jennifer?) from an affair he had whilst Mayor? So it's likely not the only injunction if there are more children.

Mockersisrightasusual · 29/02/2020 21:07

So Carrie Duffed-Up gets helpful headlines for one Sunday. Not a trick that can be repeated.

So who's next?

BigChocFrenzy · 29/02/2020 21:08

Trump appoints anti-anortion judges and gives tax cuts to the rich

So however many laws he breaks, or how many abuses of power, or just batshit claims and cockups,
he is still the most likely to win the election in November

No wonder he is angry about Coronavirus - it looks more likely than any of the Democrats to maybe stop his victory

Flood Hit Areas Pretend To Have Coronavirus In Bid To Get Government’s Attention

😂😂
This refers to Ireland, but maybe the flood-hit areas of the Uk could try this too:

To be fair, Trump's comments were, as usual, open to interpretation due to their incoherence ambiguity:

"Hoax referring to the action that they take to try and pin this on somebody," the President explained. "I'm not talking about what's happening here, I'm talking about what they're doing."
"I don't like it when they are criticizing these people, and I don't like it," he said. "That's the hoax I'm talking about."

He's been totally reassuring on the subject of COVID-19, as shown in this clip 0.27 mins in

BigChocFrenzy · 29/02/2020 21:38

His words don't mean what he says they mean

That's his version of BJ's piffle, only Trump is even less coherent

Oh dear! Will Americans be reassured by "There's a very good chance you're not going to die."?

lonelyplanetmum · 29/02/2020 22:06

Told DD (12) the baby news. She said;
" that's disgusting how could she, hopefully it was a test tube"

tobee · 29/02/2020 22:07

So coronavirus battle plan: 1) register retired health professionals.

AuldAlliance · 29/02/2020 22:28

"There's a very good chance you're not going to die" is becoming a running joke in this household.
Maybe a motto for our times.
