Actually, this was clearly a dead cat strategy, so I wonder what else has been going on over the last couple of days which has been well and truly buried?
This perhaps?

TL:DR - Tories use cover of Covid/Cummings to slip through the new Agriculture bill, removing food safety standards, shafting UK farmers and paving the way for US imports.

I think this, on top of the last couple of years has made me seriously consider getting the fvck out of dodge to another country or downsizing to the point where I can live in a wee cottage in the middle of nowhere to be honest.
Anybody else?
Which countries are less of a clusterfuck than ours?
stop being such a drama queen, IYRWTYWHA.
This. And as Rev intimates, if you let this sort of stuff get to you you'll let it get to you whereever you live and whatever the shit is.

Canada appeals more and more as I get older. What’s really all that bad about Canada?

The culture is pretty similar to the US tbh. Very conservative outside of the cities, big gun culture, they even have institutional racism against an indigenous race.
Australia and New Zealand are the same.
Bearing in mind I live in the best bit, it’s not that bad here

Because neither should have been driving regardless of dumb excuse. It was a bullshit story to try and cover up his fuck up. Delving any deeper doesn’t change this.
To use the internet standard nazi comparison, it would be like digging up Hitler and asking if it was really true that he didn’t like Jews.

Obviously they shouldn't have gone anywhere in the car, but it's fucking good point irrespective of the lock down.

I wish there was a way for someone, anyone to call for a snap general election this week. No time for campaigning and bullshit, just a straightforward winner takes all general election (postal vote obvs).
I'm guessing there's going to be a backlash at the current government at some point?
