Still disappointing..... as I have written before, I enjoy debate and am reluctant to consider people are just trolling - even you; that is why I respond.
Last chance (and I hope I don't regret responding in good faith).... Why not look back at my earlier response? If you do you will learn the answer to your question. But please explain why it is of any interest to you.
Why don't you keep to the thread topic? What's the matter with you?

Tory meltdown incoming...
Well if by “voting for him” twice you mean Johnson you’ll have to point out, apart from December 2019 when I voted for him?
And I should add I’m not a member of the Tory Party so certainly didn’t vote for him as leader..

Ecstatic because it doesn't make me look like a complete idiot

‘My brother-in-law died around the time of the party’
It’s all an absolute disgrace with the government and I just despair, but I would observe the rules if a lockdown was called. You’ve got to try to keep the faith. It pains me to say, but the selfish nature of what we have become as a nation, encouraged and nurtured by this Tory government over the last 10 years, breaks my heart.
My brother-in-law died around the time of the party. He had heart problems but wasn’t in bad health, and was looked after at home by my sister-in-law who is a nurse. He went into hospital, tested negative before returning home, but later tested positive and died a few days later. My sister-in-law now has long Covid. Mike , 71, retired, West Kirby
‘I’m done – there’s now no chance you’ll stop me from seeing family at Christmas’
I have severe asthma and am clinically extremely vulnerable and have always been fastidious about the rules. Now I also have a five-month-old baby. After 18 months of a new scandal every week, culminating in them literally laughing at us, I’m done. I will keep my distance from people I don’t know, I will wash my hands, I will even wear a mask. But you try to stop me from seeing family at Christmas – my daughter’s first Christmas, my nephew’s first Christmas, the first Christmas since my grandfather’s Parkinson’s diagnosis? Not a chance.
The 18 December would have been the same as every other night for me the previous nine months – sitting at home doing nothing. I’ve never liked Boris but he really must resign now. How the Tories still have any support from the public is beyond me. Liam 34, IT manager, Newcastle upon Tyne

I haven’t once gone off topic, I asked you a simple question related to your email which you shared to this thread I could ask what’s the matter with you but you might consider that to be rude..

Johnson never mentioned ANYTHING about not being able to see your family at Christmas

‘The government has no respect for the public’
The news about an alleged Christmas party is truly scandalous. The government appears to have no respect at all for the public, and no care at all for what people have gone through – whether we’ve suffered a bereavement, endured Covid ourselves, lost jobs and financial security or even just muddled through trying to survive a crisis. It seems to just see it all as a game and they do not care what happens to normal people while they’re playing
If another lockdown was imposed I would be willing to comply. I understand many people won’t because the government has continually undermined its own public health message, but we are still in a pandemic and I want to do the right thing to protect myself and others from getting ill. Emma Hawley, 41, programme manager, Stockport
‘The video is the icing on the cake’
If we went into lockdown I wouldn’t be willing to. It imposes too many restrictions on our freedoms. The latest video is the icing on the cake – the government has now made lockdown even more of a divisive issue following their actions. They cannot expect to be listened to. They have attempted to manipulate the British public using health and social care as a tool, playing into our compassions, while they circumvent whatever laws they wish. They’re just annoyed they’ve been found out and it’s about to bite them in the ass.
The 18 December is my mum’s birthday and last year was the first time I’ve missed it – I was at university and just couldn’t get home to see her. It’s all well and good speaking to someone on FaceTime but it’s not the same as being around them. I think that was the hardest thing for us. Oliver, 20, politics student, London

see this has deteriorated in the usual ding dong between a few posters. meltdown must be off.
Bizarrely there hasn’t been a post on the Brexit thread for 2days, that must be a record, strange times indeed.

The meltdown seems to be on ..... https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/...llegra-stratton-pmqs-sajid-javid-b970685.html

Have not read the whole thread. Surely no one is defending this shower of sh*t now are they ?

I haven't voted in a British election since 2006. It amuses me that some posters are seething about Boris's lies. It is trivial stuff compared to Thatcher's poll tax and Blair taking the UK into 2 illegal wars while his wife was earning millions fighting human rights cases against his government. Have you all forgotten Major's cash for questions?

Not sure people saying the people at the party are dicks therefore i am now going to ignore advice and be a dick too is a very convincing excuse for deciding to be a dick.

Whilst I sort of agree you have chosen single things that happened in a Prime Ministers tenure, the problem with Johnson and this government is that they leap from disaster to disaster almost on a daily basis, the list so far is very long and they cover it up by basically lying, same old soundbites and treating the public like fools.
It is getting silly and dangerous now as they are digging themselves such a deep hole of their own making that they will do anything to get out of it.
Plenty of past issues but Johnson and this government are by far the worst in my lifetime.
You wonder what will happen tomorrow.
Someone like Johnson will always be found out eventually because they just can't help themselves.

I'm glad you found it amusing but sightly surprised that you'd disenfranchised yourself from having an opinion since 2006. May I suggest you have a slightly more detailed look through the thread, maybe then you'll understand how desperate, heartbroken and bereft people have been. Maybe not though.
