If only he?s followed Rory?s advice.


Hancock believes himself, even when he?s tinkered with his story to fit. But his worst trait is his ?I?m saving lives? schtick, that stinks of disingenuous opportunist deflection.


Anyways https://apple.news/A6WTgxm1ASqC4GKOWAaEANQ I still think this guy was the last of the decent ones.

He (Hancock) is a horrible little turd.


And even in amongst a cabinet and government of other turds, he stands out.

The depressing thing is, it's all 'priced in' with our Vote Leave government. People seem to know and accept that they're dishonest and incompetent, but still prefer them to any of the alternatives. None of it makes any difference

Think it is quite appropriate language, I'd normally argue the other way! Who was saying about polishing a turd - something to do with the Brexit deal?

He's apologised but not going to resign even though he broke COVID rules.


Interesting how different this is from John Major's years - no-one cares he's having an affair (it's his own business) - but everyone cares if he's appointed someone because "she's a mate" or broken COVID rules.

Strange how memories go - I listed Gummer as an example of a scandal but I must have been wrong so deleted it - all I can find is -


"At the Suffolk Boat Show on 16 May 1990, then agriculture secretary John Gummer tried to feed his four-year-old daughter Cordelia a burger.


THE STUNT backfired horribly. Cordelia refused to eat it and the whole incident only heightened concern about BSE and reinforced public cynicism about politicians? pronouncements on food safety."


who sucked the toe - was it Mellor ?

SO he calls for others to go AND apparently be prosecuted (if Sky News are right)


But when it's him an apology will do.

I love the fact that everyone is calling it a private matter. Even though the video is from his offices at 3 in the afternoon on a Thursday. He also hired his 'long term friend' using taxpayers money. He also broke the social distancing rules that it was his role to create and enforce. How is it not about what he was doing in his job exactly?

Mellor in his Chelsea kit also did the rounds.


Fergie (the Royal one) put toe sucking on the map...

I don't think people would've been too bothered back then either, it's just that Major made a big point about 'Back to Basics', which included family values, which was tantamount to giving the press a fully loaded gun...

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
