Unfortunately for us our top man when Covid hit seems to have been an emotionally arrested schoolboy who saw Covid as a political problem rather than a public health crisis. Still, he had funny hair and he's a bit of a laugh isn't he. |

Cast your minds back to all the facebook rows your may or may not have had All the probable Bots saying ' he's doing his best' or 'if Corbyn had got it it would be worse' Turns out he wasn't and it probably would have been better. How I'd like to revisit some of those threads. |

Jolyon Maugham (sp?) has a nice little thread on xitter just this morning juxtaposing the Times now saying something like: how did this hopeless sack of shit get elected, along with it previously singing his praises.

I do think in his own personal terms he was "doing his best". It's just that his best was a sack of crap. And I'll happily put my hands up and admit that in the early stages of the pandemic in the UK I advocated putting preconceptions about him to one side and giving him and his government the backing to deal with something that I wouldn't wish on any government. I still think that that attitude was right at the time, the real crime was getting someone like him in power in the first place, and I hope to goodness that the electorate has learned that lesson now. |

By doing his best you mean doing his best at trying to look good while giving minimal attention to being prime minister in the middle of an epidemic then yes he nailed it.

Unlikely. Some other foppish Eton educated tosser will come along eventually and the Tories will fall over themselves to vote him in. |

The role of Christian zionism in the Balfour declaration cannot be denied. (See here for more details/history - fathomjournal.org ) The Oxford dictionary defines a bible basher as "a person who expounds or follows the teachings of the Bible in an aggressively evangelical way." so I'd say I was using it in a grammatically correct way. And if you notice a nerve has been touched, when I was 13 and my mother was dying the local vicar came round to lecture her on the dangers of me (and my peer group) playing dungeons and dragons. So yes I do take a dim view of the more evangelical of Christians (later the vicar penned one of his weekly Christian editorials in the local parish magazine espousing the virtues of Margaret Thatcher) |

Religious extremes are a cause of many problems in the world. Mind you, one could argue that about any form of extremism, almost by definition. Animal rights, socialist/capitalist - any form of extremism tends to lead to intolerance, conflict and eventually violence. Be more tolerant, understanding and forgiving. Which ironically is at the heart of almost every religion. What a piece of work is a man... |
