exile Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Heard someone on radio saying restrictions in Scotland hadn't been necessary. Then I saw this map today. Could anyone guess that Scotland and Wales were doing something different, maybe even something right?

If the MPs values have changed, fine, but the voters voted for a Blue Tory bastard, not a Red Tory wannabe bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of people vote for the party rather than the person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operation Dogs Dinner 😂 I heard the BBC radio Scotland report this, I think they summarised that Blackford had criticised Johnson then played a substantial clip of Johnson's response. So they managed to reproduce Johnsons' grandiose claims about how good the UK was. I also note Johnson's blatant, uncorrected lie that the UK had the best vaccination record (in Europe). No wonder some people still think the UK had a great pandemic, some people must believe Johnson, or whatever they want to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with Blackford is he tends to act a bit theatrical at times and overegg a speech, you can guarantee that if today was one of those times the BBC would have been all over it to make him look pompous. He was good today so I am not surprised he was cut short. People tend to believe whatever suits their agenda but I really hope that anyone on the fence will see that apart from showing nothing but disdain for Blackford , Johnson’s replies were utter horse shit and not even relevant to the questions. Stephen Kinnock asked him if he agreed Douglas Ross was a lightweight and he refused to answer, going off on a ramble about the union.

I saw a description of him recently to the effect that he came over like a minister preaching from the pulpit which I thought was pretty accurate.
