They reckon if they do it enough that the supermarkets will get sick of having to shift it and "stock ice cream from providers that don't get involved in politics." These type of ‘activists’ rarely seem to do anything beyond claiming they’re going to do something on Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3900 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Anyone else annoyed this Tory MP accused of rape is being kept anonymous. If it was a pop star or tv celebrity they would be all over the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35095 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) We could well end up with the same situation as Scotland with a u-turn on the grades. But obviously following a much more convoluted and expensive process which doesn’t involve anyone having to apologise or admit their errors. Or, equally, they could just stick their fingers up at the kids and do fuck all and hope it eventually blows over.

Tom 14011 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Listen they’re tired of poor kids being smarter than rich kids and getting into Oxford and stuff. Its massively humiliating for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44934 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 They've put kids through the wringer for 4 days and now all the backbenchers are sacking up and tweeting about it. And it looks like the stupid cunts will now belatedly do the right thing. They fucking love being wrong for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there’d been a ready-made pandemic plan in place, that wasn’t scrapped to concentrate on committing national economic suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also essential small businesses like the vet my lass works for doesn't get any nice reward for furloughing staff as others will as he didn't need to which seems unfair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21940 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Flawed, yes, but I never expected a timely bailout package of that scale. I was still surprised that they did the right thing - it must be galling for so many core Tory voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4389 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 According to Independent Sage, local authority track and trace contacted 98% of contacts against 53% by Serco under this "success" of a boss - hence the "average" of 70-75%. Crony privatisation trumps public common sense even when lives are at stake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
