Boris has also been leading by example. Affair, divorce and re married while in office

I know, but Trump is the pioneer. You really feel like since then it's dawned on them "Oh, so if I just say I'm not resigning and IDGAF, there's actually nothing anyone can do about it?".

Did you forget about Bill Clinton getting sucked off by his intern, going through impeachment proceedings and giving a hollow apology but at no point resigning?

The least worst and probably most plausible option is that it was deliberately leaked from inside by someone who had been ordered to do so. Other options are significantly worse and could have far wider implications.

I'm thinking from previous convos you've worked in at least local/regional govt. I've worked in national govt and I've always assumed that all my trips down the corridors were monitored.

That's why I got off with game colleagues in the Comms room, not the corridors or the lifts, because in the comms room, I know there are no cameras. And strong air conditioning is a plus.

Hancock has to be hung out to dry for this. He has to.

Hasn't he...?

There are cameras everywhere! But still, who has access to the networks?

Depends on the networks, doesn't it....

No gov shit on my standalone LAN back in the day as they didn't like unmonitored sftp uploads, which was kinda the point of an agile service like gov.UK, or direct.gov.uk back in the day..... Can't run something like that where a file upload takes three weeks to be approved

Christ, I used to run a major part of a national government network, what the fuck am I doing working for a podunk telecoms outfit in Leeds who's knowledge of employment law only stretches to such parts they can break with plausible deniability I need to get a proper job....

Yep same for ours, it's an annoying step to "lose" your booking before looking for the new one, luckily there was plenty of availability.

They’ve changed it so you can check availability before cancelling now. My second was booked for Aug but I’ve managed to bring it forward three weeks.

I've just tried to do this, but it just says that there's no other appts available at my 'chosen vaccination centre'. To check other centres I need to cancel and rebook. Sigh. I'm still 3 weeks away from my second (exactly 11 weeks to the hour between first and second appointments). Can't be arsed to risk cancelling that now.

Javid isn't too bad I suppose. No major skeletons in his closet anyway.
