And as if folk needed to have it affirmed that this government is totally out of their depth up the Stick Insect (Rees-Mogg) requiring the lower house to reconvene next week.

Not being the brightest the Stick Insect did not grasp that for voting to take place it would require MPs to be next to each other, just as when sitting in the actual chamber.

The reason ?

It will set an example so as to be able to cajole low paid workers back

 

ps no mention of wearing masks - which two on here were so vehement would be obligatory 😆

I have some personal understanding of what’s going on here through my own knowledge and the involvement of someone very close.

Thanks Tillo , do you keep him in a box until you're  bored?

if i did have a box i would have thrown away the key to the lock ages ago.

Cycling to the oak lined Mackerel spot in a minute with my grandson, hard to get shoite on yer shoes when you are cycling. Happy days.  Good to clear the head after watching BJ do a Donald.  

The travel rods we will be using at 198 cm long are light and sporty, though slighty contravene the 2m rule, make a mackerel feel like a tuna.  Hot Smoking them over apple n oak chips makes them taste like smoked tuna too. 

Had a good tussle with Bagstero earlier but he overstepped the mark, just like the eeejit who thought i WAS Bagster. Some people eh?

Hopefully with you know who safely inside , he's a slippery fish.  If you lay an Eel in a groove in the soil that is as deep as the eel is thick and longer than the eel itself, it cannot move.

With another 377 deaths announced it does not suggest that this virus is going the way some would like to have it, And we still have the the effects of the now 'free for all' that appears to be the norm.

The coast was heaving again today, with no signs of the paranoia of a month or so back ie people were walking past each other. And NO masks either.

Which as I am now off to Aldis I shall see if they have any of the discount end of sale masks left.

I might even be able to use them as a posing pouch this summer - though parts of Holkham you can go sans appereil so maybe not needed

So ta ra, do try to lie nicely, enjoy being indoors and don't let yourselves get too angry, not good for the old ticker.... especially if you are a lardy 😉

Reading a lot on social media from friends, ordinary people, totally peed off with the questions from the press at the daily conference, important stuff being announced that they would like clarification on and further questioning about, yet the same old. 

Said at the beginning of this Dom Com that the media can over egg the cake, its being over egged!!

Those that wish to continue to pursue this, at this time, for political gain, yet again are shooting themselves in the foot.

Yet VW tonight on social media the Spectator has been trending... commenting on it and the handling of the pandemic ....so it's not just those who are wishing to extract political gain. I'm shocked it is from the Spectator. 

Perhaps those within the party have something to gain?

Yep I have no doubt that’s true Sonyc, what I refer to is local ordinary Norfolk folk posting on Facebook, not those with a political angle but those that vote in elecions. Maybe the great “unwashed” I don’t know, just reporting what I read.

For the record I find some traction with the Spectator article

I don't think people are doing it for political gain. This thread has a mixture from different sides of the political coin. On social media it's people from Julia Hartley Brewer and Tim Montgomery to James O Brien and Owen Jones, People are hacked off about it and if they weren't it would have dissappeared after a day or so.

Very worrying down here in Cornwall. A lot of motorhomes without Kernow stickers on them driving about and in supermarket car parks.

The sites aren't open so it would be nice to know where they are parking up.

Cornwall's R number has increased to 0.7 which may indicate more testing but we have been relatively low since the beginning and its OK for Boris to flannel us how marvellous we have been but that means nothing if a certain percentage are doing as they wish. Which is something Boris couldn't get through his thick skull.

There are many doing it for political gain or out of animosity toward Cummings which I personally can fully sympathise with. All I am saying is that there is a risk when things are taken to the nth degree that they have a habit of backfiring. Sometimes there is a gain to be made from quitting when you are ahead. It’s difficult cos I genuinely believe the BJ has lost it.( if he ever had it )

Yes, it can be overdone, would agree. One surprising thing is that Starmer has been quite reserved in all of this, restrained in fact. Possibly he has rather an open goal. 

The more I hear of BJ the less I'm convinced by his thinking process actually (because he sounds chaotic and rambling) and the more I start to wonder just how important Cummings is (a lot). It's clear Cummings has a keen mind and is certainly no fool.

I believe you're right. He has been unpopular for some time of course across the left and right factions. France has been interesting for many years now, mirroring quite a bit of what's happening here. Yet in rural France, it feels like they are 30 to 40 years behind us culturally (not necessarily a bad thing!) and yet in other ways, they act far more directly and purposefully politically (and especially locally).

Is that it, how childish!!

What are you 12

I don't need an excuse and you have not even been at the races.

The fact you think you've done well is amusing

I do genuinely hope you enjoy the fishing though 😉

Lockdown up north has effectively been over for about 2 weeks.

Social distancing has eased off and the roads are as packed as ever they were.

It's like there is no pandemic. Folk also tell me that this Cummings thing has made them think "f this"

He’s playing it well imo. He doesn’t need to get involved in the frenzy, why go to war when the enemy is self destructing.
