She is such a useless horrible cunt. What in the name of Fuck is she actually for?

She is quite simply a terrible human being. In a crisis such as this a person's humanity comes to the fore, hence the reason she has been so obvious by her absence. Until today's speech, which was an absolute train wreck.

 

Looking forward to media questioning but undoubtedly that'll let them off scot-free too.

BBC doing a decent impression of Pravda. 
 

BBC bosses are warning interviewers not to put ministers under pressure over coronavirus crisis says former Today presenter John Humphrys

BBC bosses are warning interviewers not to put ministers under pressure over the coronavirus crisis, says former Today Programme presenter John Humphrys.

The veteran broadcaster, 76, made the revealing claim in his column for today's Daily Mail.

He wrote: 'I'm told BBC bosses are warning interviewers not to put ministers under pressure.

'Why? If the questioning is well informed and polite, surely the tougher the better. 

'All this stuff might be justified if we were at war. But we're not. To talk of the virus as an enemy is to misunderstand the crisis with which we are faced.'

Mr Humphrys added: 'The state will survive. The question is how much it might have changed. The Chinese found a way of dealing with the virus. Nobody questioned it because they did not dare.

'That's the way it is under totalitarian rule. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

'Plus, occasionally, a touch of rebellion.'

Social media users have also accused the broadcasting company of failing to 'take the government to task' and 'looking after' ministers.

Referring to Matt Hancock urging the public 'not to overuse PPE' this morning, one tweeted: 'Why doesn't he answer questions? 

'He was asked by Mishal Husain today if the death toll would have been lower had measures been taken earlier. He faffed, but didn't answer the question.

Felt like there was a two week window where they'd say one thing one day and then withdraw it a couple of days later. They've made an utter mess of things by that alone, now innocent people are either paying with their health or liberty.

But "yay!" Boris is ok. Rule Britannia !

The bloke on this thread who actually works for an MP?  
 

There’s you and Gnasher that can’t understand this is a good idea.  Once more, for the slow kids. 
 

It’s not the government that decided this

Its an expense, not a gift

they can’t donate it

they must provide receipts 

 

 

We were no match for their untamed wit ,

though some of the lads said they'd be back next week ......

When do you think we will invade Poland?

Looking forward to getting some updates on Johnson's spirits. Last I heard they were good, but I'm really hopeful they've now been upgraded to high. Maybe afterwards some questions about other things like the lack of adequate PPE for front-line staff, but only if there's time.

A national communications campaign will be launched for those at risk from domestic abuse, Home Secretary Priti Patel says.

It will be launched under the hashtag #YouAreNotAlone and aim to reassure people affected by domestic abuse that they can still seek help and leave home to access services they need.

"Where a victim and their children do need to leave, we will ensure they have a safe place to go to," she says.

Some £2m will also be provided to enhance online support services and helplines.

Smaller domestic abuse charities will get help with new IT, she says.

She also urged those who feel unable to talk to call 999 and then dial 55.

 

Would have been interesting to see more details on this. It's enough hard reaching out for support but the difficulty/problem is more once they've left.

"Listen we are deffo going to get the PPE just as long as it comes from Dyson"

Apparently the military are triaging equipment before it goes to the front line and its a herculooonian effort. That jaw is begging to be tested with a 9 iron.

The ironic thing is that if she was my wife I'd beat the shit out of the fucking ghoul. I'd have said "living shit" but she has no life in her. 

 

Pure evil woman. I hate her. 

 

 

 

Yeah, I think she might be the worst of the lot.

So far the crowdfunding gangs have bought him 4 cases of Cambridge Distillery Watenshi Gin and 6 bottles of Isabella's Islay Whisky which is 6 million a pop.
