Yep - and we're going to hang out the washing on the Seigfried Line.

The rotten stench of corruption hangs permanently over this government. More questions are being asked of Mathew Hancock and his 'connections' to the horse racing industry and the decision to allow the Cheltenham Festival to go ahead when the virus was clearly picking up steam. Hancock's received donations in the register of interests has always read like a who's who of horse racing. Hancock is also MP for Newmarket. So not a remote chance of him being in the pocket of the horse racing industry. Aside his mate, the blundering Baroness Dido Harding who was tasked with presiding over the test & trace app shambles, being a Cheltenham Steward plus sitting on the board of the jockey club, his son also sits on the organising committee of Cheltenham racecourse which I wasn't previously aware. It's a small world.....

England’s chief nurse has confirmed she was dropped from a daily Downing Street coronavirus briefing after refusing to back Dominic Cummings.

In a trial run for the 1 June briefing, Ruth May said she was asked about Boris Johnson’s chief adviser driving his family from London to Durham during lockdown while his wife had suspected Covid-19.

After she failed to back Cummings, she was told she was no longer needed for the televised press conference taking place later that day, though she was never given an explanation why.

At the time, aides to the prime minister briefed journalists that May may not have made it to the briefing because she may have been stuck in traffic.

Appearing before MPs on the House of Commons public accounts committee on Monday, May said she had attended preparations for the briefing and was told she was no longer needed without explanation.

In case you missed it, some legislation just went through Parliament paving the way for Johnson's Brexit dictatorship. MPs (well, Tory ones) have voted against giving Parliament the power to scrutinise any future trade deals. This means the Tories can strike whatever deal they like in secret, without it even being debated. While they were at it, they also voted against imported food having to meet existing UK standards (hello chlorinated chicken and salmonella, goodbye the UK farming industry). Oh, and privatisation of the NHS can form part of any future trade arrangements (hello US insurance system. goodbye the welfare state).

Clap. Clap. Clap.

And no pay rises for NHS workers either.

Amazing.

I am shocked, shocked I say, at this completely unforeseen outcome! Who could have predicted such a thing!

Disgusting. Criminal. We are sleepwalking into a dictatorship. It couldn’t happen here? Don’t you believe it. It’s happening.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Well the Russia Report is out and the government seem to have given carte blanche for Russia to attack our elections.

Exactly, let's just wait for the pseudo-nationalists that inhabit this thread to come on and tell us how wonderful this government and Brexit is, when we now have proof -- if proof was really needed -- that the Brexit debate leading up to the referendum contained Russian interference, disinformation, propaganda, etc. So, the pseudo-nationalists are as much pro-Putin and pro-Russia, as they are pro-Britain.

Folks can't make up their own minds without the alleged Putin Input? Poppycock.

 

[CHAPPERS]

So now we're denying the fact that Russians use disinformation tactics to affect elections? Cool.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it’s time to pause and reflect.
