Helen McNamara's evidence today is much more damning than the swivel eyed loon Cummings rants yesterday. He has a massive axe to grind and a nasty piece of work. McNamara is more measured but her reveals are even more astounding. Laughing at the Italians. Them getting covid was "great". The hairdryer nonsense etc
I remember saying, deep into the pandemic, that saving a 3 year old’s life was more worthwhile than saving a 98 year old’s, and a few people getting offended. Can’t remember how we got on to the subject, was probably some whataboutery around terminal illnesses in kids going undiagnosed because of covid/lockdown.
Fair enough. I can probably guess which poster that was, and if it’s who I think it was, I think he was a decent guy. The pandemic really affected him though. I know it affected everyone, but all I’d say is that they weren’t normal times and I don’t think all people were necessarily behaving “normally”.
When were 3 year old's lives threatened? I must have missed that bit. False equivalence.
Well, as per my post above. It was a hypothetical discussion. I can’t even remember it exactly.
Ok. I thought it was being put as an argument.
Well it may have been, but it would have been almost 3 years ago now. In the long dark winter of 2020/2021
I think you have to consider for a minute the type of mp johnson filled his cabinet with. They were all nutters and to be honest sunak isn't doing much better.I am afraid my opinion of senior politicians running the country is extremely low and getting lower all the time. They are basically amateurs, its not their fault they are amateurs, but what is wrong is when they actually act and believe they have special skills. I am sorry to any senior civil servants out there, but the whitehall type ones again I have a low opinion of. They are often miles from the coal face. Many don't have technical training and have come from a humanities type background. They usually can express themselves very well in both writing and speech and have a decent intelligence level, but its their net effectiveness that concerns me. I do think resources should be a bit more directed at local government than central governement. I am starting to sound like a senior politician!
You've spelled scam wrong.

That would be the civil servant who provided the karaoke machine.
I think if I knew my passing would save the life of a child, I would gladly save the child's life. Don't get me wrong, I think I still have a little to offer before I hand my rifle in but most decent people would want the child to live and hope they used the privilege wisely.
A good thing to say and I agree with it.
Totally agree, the lack of planning was clear from the off.
