It was one of those strangely thin glasses that you just have to test. It happened to me in Amsterdam years before. Thin, slightly bendy, so you test it, then it breaks and it’s too late.

It's weird what we used to do in our young & stupid days. I once ate a light bulb on a bet. Just the glass part though, I never had a taste for copper

You only have to read the posts from certain members on here to see how willing some people are to eat up whatever the press serve to them. I sincerely hope you're right but the last 5 years give me zero faith.

There will always be morons but I do hope the vast majority of people who aren't that politically engaged will take notice

 

[David O'Day]

So do you believe the earth isn’t flat then?

I believe I can fly

 

[cc84cov]

Enough politics from me for one night anyway

Keep the faith Night all

Never going to work here, teeming with I’m alright jack selfish earn a bit of cash I’m middle class now wankers. Who fail to realise they are homeless after 3 months with no earnings like the rest of us.

Hopefully the only good thing to come out of everything that’s going on will be people realising they aren’t invincible and socialism within reason is the way forward. Probably gone too far there but I’ve had 3 bottles of red and I don’t give a fuck.

There isn’t a gif for this is there?

I had meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia when I was 4. My parents were told I was going to die. I was in hospital for 4 weeks. I can remember having injections all day every day and the needles in my hands being changed every couple of hours. I was one of the few people to survive that disease without any side effects. (losing limbs or dying etc). My mum was a single parent on benefits at the time. I literally owe my life to our NHS.

This has only really hit home for me since having my own son. My mum was 21 at the time. Barely an adult herself.

When my grandad was on his last legs in Walsgrave the nurses took the time to write up all his likes and dislikes on a board behind him so whoever was around could easily entertain him. Though it was horrible seeing him in the state he was they went out of their way to make him comfortable. He had served as a doctor for many years at the old Walsgrave so almost fitting he bowed out at the new one.

Nurses and doctors alike, bless them all

Conservative, there is no opposition. If I had to pick someone it would be green, but no doubt the usual suspects would pour scorn on that as well. But I do think that once the honeymoon period wears off this government will crash and burn in a huge way. There’s got to come a point where lying doesn’t work any more, surely at some stage people will look for actual results.

Honeymoon period?

They’ve also delivered results just clearly not the ones you’re interested in

Correct, I’m not interested in death & food banks.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Fever and chills. Time to phone the Doctor tomorrow. Had it for three days, just can't shift it.

Nothing major, just fuckng annoying. Tried to sleep it off but it's still bugging me.

NHS 111 online. Straightforward. You answer a few questions about serious health concerns. and can even get an isolation certificate.

I’ll bite. What results?

Dominic Cummings running away was a result for most of us.

Question

If we had another election now who would win & why ?

Tories by a landslide. We’re in a national crisis in a honeymoon period and the opposition have no leader. If you can’t win a landslide under those conditions you shouldn’t be in politics.

I assume at some point people will grow tired of Bozza their mate and want a Prime Minister, though I don’t hold out much hope.

Hope it's only the short version and expedited early.

30 ventilators only 7,970 to go from the 8,000 that were 'on their way'.

Boris does realise that just talking about testing doesn’t change what happens. Wtf

 

[itsabuzzard]

Problem is it's the same people complaining about lack of funding that bitch about paying too much tax

Indeed. Someone out there keeps voting them back in.

Same bullshit everyday. Becoming a scandal now.

Yeah but he does that little fist pump thing which means he really means what he's saying.

Brexit, extra funding (relative) for the North promised before all this kicked off.

Now, you and I would say smoke and mirrors and, of course, we'd be right but for the people who elected him, he'd actually been doing what he promised before he had to go all lefty.

 

[David O'Day]

This, the underfunding of the NHS and the lack of ppe for NHS or care workers will be hard to shake

Brexit was never in doubt and we still don’t have a deal and there has been nothing but words so far on t’ North.

They should call him Hermes Johnson because he never delivers.

Don't share your optimism.
The cap doffing fuck wits in this country will just keep saying Corbyn over and over again until they convince themselves this is the best they can hope for.
Subservient, brainless cunts.

That and this is happening years away from the next election. They got a bumper majority for a decade of crap, this will probably get them to 500 seats

Thank fuck

 

[shmmeee]

Thank fuck

Now to see if Keir really was about to spring into action like his supporters claim or if he’s actually useless in a crisis like his detractors do.

Will be nice to actually have some opposition, if only there were a Parliament.
