Westminstenders: What the winds bring

[RedToothBrush]

The next few weeks are crucial. Eu talks, covid handling, the US election and any other unexpected events (its nearly November, lets face it will probably be the weather).

It feels a little like the car crash in slow motion is about to hit the wall of reality. I guess that just means all there is left to do is to brace for impact.

Any thoughts on 🤡 presser at 5?

Maybe he's going to tender his resignation...🤔...coming out in sympathy with the great orange one (Donald)

I can dream

Any thoughts on 🤡 presser at 5?

Not really. What on earth could our PM possibly say that is going to affect what any of us is going to to ? That's the sad reality. You'd do more good for yourself by taking a nice walk for 10 minutes. And you'd probably have less chance of coming across a pile of shit.

We've moved back across to NBC News from Sky News as I can't thole watching BJ

I spent part of this afternoon trying to think through strategy with local councils who soon have to set their budgets and thus council tax to last them until March 2021
finger in the air does not begin to summarise their stress

• Brexit
• COVID
• climate change
• Tory government
• normal issues

DGR sadly there is quite a bit of 💩 in parts of our area.

He's late again.

Goes without saying.

UK Government told off for misuse of statistics again

NHS Head rolled out to try and convince people to adhere to lockdown?

A really good piece of news (for the EU anyway)

Biden has won. You can all breathe about that.

Just now up to what the tantruming one does.

Noteably the most recent legal challenge he launched in Pennsylviania (which he must win to remain president) was not filed by any of his top lawyers and they are not named on it.

It sounds like hes fallen out with them...

No cite ?

As for lawyers - who wants to be on the losing side ? Especially when Trump made everything so partisan.

I am more than slightly amused that I take your word as law red
Thanks for the update!
Let's just hope that the leeches desert the evil motherfucker

I need to see a fat lady

I have family in Montgomery County PA .....

The fivethirtyeight site you provided yesterday wasn't saying that as of 5 mins ago.

I'm wary of Charlie Brookers observation a while back that it seems the cunts have been rolling sixes for ages.

I'm also wary of magical thinking. Because I can't describe how much I want the current govermnent to squirm with Presiden Biden. I also can't begin to describe how much I want Trump to believe the slew of anonymous emails that Farage is now a jinx, just as soon as I send them.

Its more everyone doesnt have to keep shitting their pants. It should be fine.

I haven't been keeping up.....
But I saw this story

www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54818615

Abs I think DGR you made the comment makes it into the rat population we are well abs truly fucked.....

DGR
I ain't see no fat lady.
I will not believe that Biden has won will I see it on that site.
I CANNOT relax or breathe yet.

MrsL
But mink are mustalids and rats are rodents - different susceptibility.
Also mink are MASSIVELY inbred for farming

Will the pelts of the mink be used for clothes ? Be a shame not to. It might cause the value of mink coats to go down overall, but I wouldn't cry.

I hope so DGR...... I am not keen on intensive farms of any sort - but to cull them and then burn them would be a waste......

Mine are nice and clean, ta

Is this according to your math(s) geek DH? who would get on v well with mine

re: the mink - it wasn't great watching a bloke in a hasmat suit chasing the one that got away and catching him I honestly didn't know mink farming was still a thing. Cruel bastards

Meanwhile, it's hard to shake the image of God as slightly distracted, but maybe well meaning. A nation (with the exception of Boris Johnson and our own dear Clav ) turned it's angry eyes to heaven and prayed for God to sort out Dominic C.

Bless, he tried, so hard

Which site are you watching ListeningQuietly?

I have watched this a couple of times, unable to believe my eyes: it's hypnotic in its bizarreness. What is this woman on?? And she's his official prayer leader!?!

Explains a lot if he's being subjected to this kind of performance on a regular basis.
