From social media over the last week I fear there are fewer right minded people about than previously envisaged.
I agree. Dangerous times ahead. |

Sure it was the polices fault, they were only trying to protect the statues.
The protests should have been stamped out last weekend, last time I checked we were still in a pandemic. Now selective enforcement of the law has been applied its becoming a free for all. From social media over the last week I fear there are fewer right minded people about than previously envisaged.
Twitter posts & the protests probably account for less than 1% of the UK population I wouldn’t worry too much. Elections consistently show that those most vocal aren’t representative of most people’s views. Most people just think both sides are acting like fuckwits with no regard for the ongoing global pandemic. |

Yes, social media certainly seems to amplify the extreme ends of views. This site is a good example. You make a value pint about election results. |

The most recent election showed in quite stark reality that those most vocal on Saturday were pretty representative of the majority of peoples views (based on seats won). |

Comments from David Lammy on R4 re yet another review.  Wasn't aware so many reviews/commissions had reported and nothing has changed. |

Thanks David Busted! I should have quoted the original really, but I saw it in passing earlier today, and couldn't find it when I came to post. Found it now, here's the original https://twitter.com/davidschneider/status/1272503491240525824 |

Because they believed that party when they lied that they weren't going to. Or were just reckless as to the consequences because they were so determined to "Get Brexit Done" |

I doubt the validity of the conclusion to be honest. It was pretty clear that people voted Tpry knowing it cold result in a No Deal Exit. Ask a question the right way and you get the right answers. |

Of course. That's why they're going so full tilt for the No Deal they promised they wouldn't, because they're betting they can bury the calamity under COVID |

It was only as I had literally just read it on Twitter! TBH I am in no position to judge, I often copy and paste if someone has said what I am thinking 'cos I am a lazy twat. |
