We’re an island. Of all the countries in Europe, we should have been the one to be able to keep the virus out/eradicate it quickly from our population, by imposing strict measures. If we weren’t run by a balding weasel from Durham, we could have.

FYP

Do they test their new stuff on you?

Her decision on whether or not to allow that is imminent

Wor lass was muttering about 'middle earth', 'Gandalf' and 'Bilbo Baggins' etc last night. I thought, 'she's Tolkien in her sleep again' and rolled back over.

28% of cases associated with work, 4% with hospitality! This is shit. These restrictions won't bring R down to below 1, so at best cases will plateau. There's no way out of a tier once you're in it. I am beginning to just think fuck you, you tory cunts.

“ …Ordered not to have any social contact with anyone outside their household in any setting,” But get to fucking work where you’ll be in contact with potentially hundreds, because we’ve had enough of being socialists.

Hamish, are you doing the fringe at Edinburgh this year? I haven't heard you mentioning much about it lately? No, Crawford, I'm taking some time out this year. Tried a small routine on Kevin Carr's gloves and you could've heard a pin drop. Not even a titter. Thinking of getting into the English tapas scene with a friend who lives down south of the border, instead.

There was a Doctor I follow on twitter this a.m. it said he could maybe become a paramedic

I was on 40k a year in London and managed to make myself almost extinct every weekend.

But did you destroy her ring?

Glad to see your time spent with Crawford and Hamish is paying off, KCG.

And especially Nena.

I think one of your mates has hacked your account.

Whilst this government flits between right wing authoritarianism at best & chaotic evil at worst I don’t know how I could ever be ambivalent about voting labour no matter how bland they are. Also I imagine the tactic is to establish trust/power and then gradually move left. (Starmer is literally on the board of the Fabian society)

I just wish Hadrian's wall was the border, as every thick southern fucker seems to think, as a proud Northumbrian (of Scots heritage) I'd have best of both worlds

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A TROWEL????

you have to vote for the least-worst option. i held my nose and voted for corbyn last time - i also like my local labour MP.

what is it the point in being principled in opposition? ideological purity doesn't win elections

They won’t win another election, or even form a coalition, until they figure out how to win back the red wall, as distasteful as that might be for the pro-EU twitterati. He also needs to show them he is patriotic, something again that will offend many, but remember Blair managed that nonsense beautifully. Remember the last time this country was a nice place to be? The Blair/Brown years

I spotted a headline by ex-Ronny journalist, Chris Waugh, raving about him after the Burnley game and almost rang his editor asking to check up on him and suggest a drugs test? That Wilson chance where he rounds the keeper, goes too wide then looks for a player while the keeper is stranded sums Joelinton up as he lackadaisically half jogs, stops, then too late makes a run and is intercepted when Wilson makes the pass. No urgency, no vision, no feint off the defender, fuck all. I don't hate the kid, he's just super average and even if he's not a striker, an attacking midfielder would've saw his chance and tried to take advantage. I honestly don't know what he's supposed to be in the side as the best game I've saw him play recently was Spurs away and that's only because he ran around a lot and tried to keep possession when we barely touched the ball.

Plus a huge opportunity to illustrate to the sceptical half of the public how Taking Back Control might have its benefits after all. Weird that they didn't want to, really.

We could make it a whole lot easier by cancelling the whole Brexit fiasco.

Still gash, just no longer the focal point of the attack. Journalists spout absolute shite on the whole

I think the real economic damage has been done by delaying the inevitable. That and all the other catastrophic decisions previously. Like locking down too late, not locking down properly, waiting too long to make wearing masks compulsory, not really making wearing masks compulsory, not enforcing restrictions, coming out of lockdown too early, encouraging people to socialise, allowing hundreds of thousands of students to travel to university when they knew infection rates amongst that age group were high, etc, et-fucking-cetera

Aye, I’ve told me dad he can come round to see the bairns if he cuts the lawn and cleans the windows

Everything asked of him seemingly doesn’t include actually bidding for the club?

I'm like this for the north east getting blamed for a Tory govt or Brexit. Wish we had known how much power we wielded all those years we got the govt we didn't vote for.

Christ Tony Hawks is addictive I can’t remember what life before was like. I finish work and then I skateboard.

Agreed but I still struggle to get my head around voting Tory as a fix. They’ve made things much fucking worse

Always amazes me, if Scotland is such a HUGE drain on the rest of the UK, why the fuck are Westminster so desperate to keep hold of such a patently deep money pit !!!

The thing about the island thing is that the excuse for not closing Heathrow etc was that tens of thousands arrive every day which is obviously incomparable with New Zealand - however nobody asked why the fuck so many needed to come at that time (March/April/May). Tourists should have been told to fuck off for starters and they should have allowed repatriation with quarantine but its business travellers that get me. I understand that the UK being such a hub for business is one of the reasons we were hit harder but why the hell didn't they ask travellers if their journey was that necessary? In fact they should have had to explain their reasons.

CT will be on in a minute to tell you that's not the order they were signed in.

Personally I think to have a better chance it will be next yuear. Just as Brexit begins to bite and people realise what a shit show it is.

I was just thinking ‘Mammy!’

who are you - russell brand? this is the democracy we live in. i would rather vote green but i choose to vote labour because they're better than the other lot.

If indyref2 happens, and you’re still living up there, don’t accept any invites from anyone for trips to Glencoe for a while.

(Poor old fish).

not exactly a 9-5, is it?

that's no way to talk about CT

Well, you and Roomba tbf.

Before his political career.
