The far left must be fucking livid with envy.
Why, politics tends to by cyclical, what goes around comes around.

The Far Left wouldn't be adverse to removing democracy either.

It would be interesting to know how accurate this shift has been over time

You’re wasted on the forum Mr. D. You should have been a politician.

I see criminal proceedings have been opened against Trumpton. I bet they somehow disappear like they always seem to do with that ass hat.

Caught a bit on the news this morning that the Govt are looking to 'nationalise' the railways. The main bit of interest for me was the introduction of flexible season tickets which will be vital for the partial office/working from home that's likely to be happening later this year. Positive news.

I work in an adjacent industry - they are a good idea and positive for customers, but I wouldn't hold out great hope of them not being fairly disastrous to get hold of and use to begin with at least.

Oh absolutely! We are unlikely to be back until September/October anyhow so maybe things might be a little smoother by then.

That's Hancock thrown vigorously under the bus first then.....
Hancock "should have been fired for at least 15, 20 things including lying to everybody on multiple occasions in meeting after meeting in the Cabinet room and publicly."
As noted by Ian Dunt...
"It's a bonfire of bastards going down in that room right now."

This has strong echoes of Malcolm Tucker at the enquiry at the end of the Thick of It, just settling scores all over the shop as it becomes clear that everyone involved is a contemptible shit.

If everyone involved is equally contemptible, but only one person is willing to burn the thing down, then the results are quite spectacular.

I remember being poo-pooed for saying that the elderly had been deliberately discharged from hospital back to care homes. From today's evidence: "We only subsequently found out that hadn't happened [testing prior to discharge back to care homes]. The govt rhetoric was we'd put a shield around care homes. Complete nonsense. Quite the opposite of putting a shield around them, we sent people with covid back to the care homes" https://twitter.com/Richiemay/status/1397526978413072388The politicians and officials responsible for this are responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths and should be prosecuted for manslaughter. Just sacking Hancock isn't enough here.
