To add ...
I think most of the problems in dealing with Covid-19 come down to David Cameron and George Osborne (with their massive de-funding of the NHS). As does the Brexit referendum.
David Cameron is British History's Greatest Monster.

Boris Johnson is a horrible manipulative Tory cunt. Always has been.
He might not 'be' racist but he has been happy to play with racist imagery and ideas throughout his career
He is also appallingly sexist. Some of his comments to female Labour MPs in the Brexit debates when he first took over were amazing.
He is the first PM I have seen with no compunction about lying in parliament. He simply spouts out the first thing he thinks of to get him out of a corner
To me he is Enoch Powell in a clownsuit.

Or he's up there. Just a colossal fuckwit. I started reading a book called All Out War, which is about the Brexit referendum. Written by a Times journalist, so not unsympathetic to the Tories. Still, Cameron comes across as naive and impervious to advice. |

To clear things up - I would also like to add that I would by far prefer to live in an independent Scotland, within the EU, with Nicola Sturgeon as Prime Minister, than in any version really of the UK with Boris Johnson.
The climate also has a lot to do with it. The fresh gorse air.

Bums. Just rang my GP's surgery - the girl who rang last week should have asked if I wanted the vaccination. And said you're on the vaccination list next week when they get supplies - disappointing. 😒
I thought it was too good to be true.

If you ask me, the big problem with the world today is that, in the always online culture, it's the passionate ideas, simply stated, that make for the most potent currency.
Vague indifference, wafflingly put, just doesn't cut it anymore.

hello ... I have an ear-ache. A protracted ear problem. I feel as if the insect from 'Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan' is making preliminary investigations in my ear canal. And our broadband keeps dropping out. None of these are big problems, though, in the big scheme of things. I can see this. There are three letters the people of Scotland fear more than anything else ... S.A.SAs someone who suffers from sinus problems and earaches I can suggest olive oil poured into the ear and left for a bit. Use cotton wool and lay on your side if you can. Steaming your head is a good option and also sounds like it means many other things. I don’t think Chekhov tried either option in The Wrath of Khan. Would have been a very different film I imagine. |

Cool, I'll join but I may have to exercise some discipline and not be checking it every 15 mins.

I have met Tony Blair, he is a cunt. How did you meet Tony Blair? Long story short. I was a Civil Servant, TB comes around with Blunkett and entourage. 3 important dudes were lined up to shake his hand. My pal Augustine throws himself on the end of the line-up for a laugh and I followed him.
TB comes to me, puts out his hand for a shake and I left it 3 seconds before I extended my hand. All the time I was looking at his eyes. He had the look of fear in his eyes and 'Uh oh, we've got a troublemaker here'. He didn't say anything to me and I was cropped out of the group photo.
Blunkett was direct, told it like it was but was constantly reeled in by Blair.
"Ha ha David, that's sooo funny..."
Cunt.

Any time someone says they’ve had a corned beef sandwich, I feel like I also need one. [adds corned beef to evening shopping list] I had a fishfinger sandwich. Part way through cooking them, I was reminded that there was leftover pizza in the fridge... |

They make good wedges though can be a tad nuclear on the heat retention.
A wee bit of pimenton rubbed in jazzes them up nicely.
