Do you want to discuss boring politics? (77 Viewers)

Don't worry, Johnson will swing into action, using his keen political mind and assisted by his dynamic and dedicated front bench they'll guide us through this with a raft of mind blowing policies and initiatives whose implementation is surely imminent.

They’ve already solved it. The poor are too thick to cook properly and any help they give them will be wasted on big screen TV’s and crack so it’s all their own fault.

Is it 1834 already?

Even the excellent Dan Hodges knows Boris broke the law here. Stop embarrassing yourself.

So he was fined?

It appears opinion is skewed based on whether people want him or not.

Nope, it's based on the fact that the person who makes the rules can't be trusted to keep to the rules.

These photos are they timestamped and have the police already seen them and dealt with this particular party? I ask as we've had many leaving dos over the years where the gaffer makes a brief appearance, gives a quick speech, a quick chat and buggers off. Maybe the old bill felt its a misdemeanour and don't warrant a FPN?

Ouch

Bit higher than 10% inflation there

these parties you had, were they during a time of lockdown? all gatherings were banned so just attending is against the regulations.

Many people worked through lockdown, I did.

If a nurse was retiring and a senior colleague toasted them at the end of their final shift, would you hold the same opinion?

I also worked through lockdown and it was business as normal - no choice and all our customers did as well.

I once ordered some Pizza for everyone - I think the West Midlands Police should investigate

Were many nurses holding weekly pissups in the hospital at the end of their shifts then?

You should tell the Daily Mail. It'll be front page news, and rightly so, that's disgraceful behaviour from them.

 

[Grendel]

I think we've achieved SBT Bingo over the last few days

Cake
Forelock Tugger
Cap Doffer
Tories gonna Tory
Who cares about parties lads
Fizzgate
Starmer was working
The Met are Bent
Durham police aren't bent
Dominic Cummings woz innocent

Its a Full House on SBT - Beer Korma all round

I thought JLR shut down from March 20th? Certainly the factories did: Subscribe to read | Financial Times

I was long gone by then

They weren’t even allowed to have lunch together and had to sit alone in the lunch room and it is a sackable offence to drink alcohol at my wife’s hospital so fairly unlikely to have happened.

So where were you working that was business as usually during first lockdown? Only essential services were legally permitted to be open at the time.

 

[Grendel]

So where were you working that was business as usually during first lockdown? Only essential services were legally permitted to be open at the time.

Well put it this way - not one business in the Industrial estate where I work was locked down - essential services includes manufacturing and goods supply obviously. Most manufacturing companies stayed open as they had to.

Im not sure that's strictly true. I worked through first lockdown aside from a brief period of furlough.

Loads of companies worked through the pandemic - Amazon is hardly an essential service either but I doubt they shut the doors!

Better than eating it like you I guess

Not sure why people defend somebody that doesn't even give a shit wether they are alive or not , you die on that hill lads

didn’t realise manufacturing didn’t shut down.

Id argue delivery drivers were quite important during lockdown TBF.

People at the gathering got a FPN, others didn’t. The Met needs to explain that.

Hopefully really mental strong gin will make a comeback too

If Amazon hadn’t stopped open who would have sold all the toilet roll to Germany to make sure the shortage really bit.

you are confusing the term essential workers with essential services - most manufacturers carried on

We were allowed to stop open as we are a large shipper in the medical supplies market but I would be honest we didn’t want to be in and seeing the amount of tv and unimportant stuff that went through pissed us off, but we got a £150 bonus and a lanyard (which interestingly the people who were furloughed also got), it was pretty positive for the company though as profits went up to $3 billion a quarter roughly.

Exactly this.

 

[Philosoraptor]

I think it is time with the cost of living crisis in Coventry for the council to remove the civic role of Mayor and pass the savings on to the people of Coventry.

 

[Philosoraptor]

If Coventry Labour can do without Librarians, they can sure do without a Mayor.

 

[Philosoraptor]

How much will it save?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

How much will it save?

Any saving is a worthwhile saving but I would imagine it runs into the hundreds of thousands
