Stop voting for fucking Tories

[Biffer]

It's nearly always Handincock that is the problem.

I think he's fed up being the one who always has to shit on peoples plans; & he fancies being the one making the optimistic, & unrealistic promises for a change; & let the other fuckers be the ones who have to impose reality on the populace.

I spoke to a colleague today for the first time in months; & learned that his mental health has really suffered under lockdown. He's not alone in this; & combined with seeing how many of those hospitalised are now suffering from PTSD; there's a massive challenge ahead for whoever is in charge of the NHS, & every other health service; to cope with the damage that Covid has done to peoples mental health.

The shadow of Covid will run for decades; when you think of things like that, & the disruption to childrens education.

That is a shame re your mate, hope he ends up ok. Hopefully the younger children will just remember it as lots of logging on to virtual lessons , older kids doing exams will be more messed around by covid i feel.

I’m lucky in that covid hasn’t massively upset me, because I’m in work , don’t have to commute, and can see my family, have a garden etc. Plenty of people who have lost the job or are single or can’t see their family, it’s been pretty traumatic and I feel for them. Two couples that we know have also split due to the lockdowns and wfh pressures, sadly kids are involved in both.

I’m struggling sometimes, it’s fucking difficult being single and living alone during this. Lucky that I’m still working and financially secure, but spending weeks at a time not seeing anyone face to face is tough. And you start to realise how much physical contact is part of the human experience. I haven’t touched another person since a fist bump in August.

Tbf you have proved to be a tad thick on here several (many?) times , and it’s hard to not think you as some kind of Denholm Rhenolm type from the IT crowd:
“When I started, all i had were two things: a dream, and six million pounds”

But homophobe ? Nopes - can’t think of any poster that dislikes benders

You keep casting this aspersion however when I set up my company I was utterly penniless and couldn’t get a job during the 1990 recession.

Yes I have made some mistakes on here but the difference is I can laugh at myself I know my IT skills are poor and I am a bit of a posh twat(which I play up to intentionally)

Renholm in proving himself thicky shocker ;)

I know you didn’t have the six mil, but I’m reasonably sure you had posted that (quite rightly) you were not above tapping into your posh clique at times and didn’t 100% rely on your undoubted stunning IT & business acumen. Even if I’m completely wrong and you are genuinely Alan Sugar incarnate, I’m sure you won’t pay too much heed to what I think of you as you are retired and play your bridge, golf and ride your Harley in your tassels. Or even what angry internet IT palace of righteous justice types think of you.

actually I didn’t tap anyone but the rest is spot on

Good start on quarantining today

The government’s online portal to allow travellers to book a quarantine hotel when arriving in England from a country on the banned travel list has gone down for maintenance on the day it was launched, PA Media reports.

I do understand there have been problems with the testing package website, which I think was launched yesterday.
I’ve been told it was back up and running this morning so please persevere with this.
This is a fresh website clearly

FFS it's her department that's responsible for it!!!!

I vote we tax half the country until they have to fuck off.

Three days to go and still the website is down!!!

Travellers remain unable to book a room at a quarantine hotel just three days before they become mandatory for arrivals from “red list” countries.

People attempting to access the booking website receive a message which states: “We’ll be back soon! Sorry for the inconvenience but we’re performing some maintenance at the moment.”

Difficulties with the website have been reported since it went live on Thursday afternoon, the PA reports.

The Tory rags are reporting the imminent green lighting of a tunnel between Scotland NI ....

The papers do mention that it's a bit longer than the chunnel; but don't mention the minor differences between the geology of the two regions; or the piddling detail of both ends of this feat of engineering being in the middle of nowhere. Ten billion; bollox; multiple by five !

We all know it won't be built; but the question is just how many more tens of millions will be pissed away; just to placate the DUP ?

[SaintK]

Chumocracy at it's finest! Shameless arseholes

Perhaps it was the long passage in Professor Sir Ivor Crewe’s book The Blunders of Our Governments about the way ministers’ mistakes never catch up with them that led Gavin Williamson to reject the expert as the new head of the Office for Students.

Or maybe the education secretary was put off by the section of the 2013 book, written with the late Anthony King, dealing with how ministers put underqualified, inexperienced people in charge of public bodies.

The job of independent regulator of higher education in England was instead handed to James Wharton, a 36-year-old former Tory MP with no experience in higher education who ran Boris Johnson’s leadership campaign. But the Observer can reveal that Crewe – the former vice-chancellor of the University of Essex, one-time head of Universities UK and most recently the master of University College, Oxford – was interviewed for the post and rejected.

Rupe was selling them this idea.

A senior journalist with a leading role in Rupert Murdoch’s Times group of British newspapers has been given a key voice in deciding who is to chair Ofcom, Britain’s national broadcasting regulator that is tasked with holding the BBC to account.

Paul Potts, who was appointed two years ago as an independent director of Times Newspapers Holdings, is now also the government’s “senior independent panel member” who will help pick the successor to Terry Burns at the head of the body that rules on standards and is to shape the future of public service broadcasting in the digital age.

You are a parody, once you have taxed all the country's wealth producers into exile, who is going to pay for all the flaky scroungers??

How many "flaky scroungers" do you estimate there to be?

Just for shits & giggles, I did a quick SWAG at the numbers.

According to this, in 2018, an average of 550 Lorries crossed each day; so about 5M over 25 years.

So if the 10B figure is accurate, & the UK tax payer looks for payback in 25 years; that means they need to charge each of these lorries £2,000 a journey, for something that costs them ~£400 on the Ferry !

Thick as mince like a number of the blonde slug's cabinet.
Slopy shoulders as well.

Liz Truss is refusing to answer questions about the cross-Channel trading crisis sparked by Brexit, says a stinging attack by six opposition parties.

The International Trade Secretary has “transferred” all enquiries about the plight facing firms to other departments, they say – despite it being her job to promote exports overseas.

A hard-hitting letter accuses Ms Truss of trying “shirk responsibility for the failures of your colleagues elsewhere in government”.

And it protests: “Most extraordinary of all, you are refusing to answer questions about the serious crisis affecting UK shellfish and fish exporters, and about the future of inward investment in Northern Ireland.

[Bimbowomxn]

Truss even with her proscribed limitations has done a fantastic job in the last year with trade deals.


Remember many posters claimed the UK would be North Korea.


That’s your comparison here to the critics.
