It's not only schools - businesses as well. We have x2 off work due to a linked member of the household with a positive lateral flow test [no symptoms]. So x10 days self isolation for both.

 

Your business can be switched off as easily as that.

 

 

 

But it’s all for the greater good Rob….😉

I would still think the worst of Cummings if he was behind Corbyn and Starmer! 

 

I do think that the toady Alistair and President Blair are another shameful pair with dubious ethics, morals and scruples who lied to the voters to get their way.....

What do you think we should do about it?

I wholeheartedly agree that Blair et Campbell etc should be pulled for their actions. But, I do think that it would be better to deal with the incumbent criminals before we deal with the historical ones.
To me it makes more sense to focus on what is happening now. Luckily Thatcher's dead so we don't need to worry about that anymore.

A good start would be to open a proper, independent enquiry now, into the massive failings of the current government over the last 18 months. Now, not in 2 years time when they've all buggered off.

Yep but I always wonder who would fund any proper independent inquiry. All the people who have the money/decision making authority - it's usually against them so where is the incentive?

 

Petition: Hold a public inquiry into Government contracts granted during Covid-19

PETITION.PARLIAMENT.UK

---

There should be a public inquiry into Government contracts granted during Covid-19. Many contracts have been granted...

 

 

Something here but the response looks like usual political nonsense... 'vital we have robust processes in place' 'x number of covid tests achieved' 'working under very difficult conditions' blah blah no detailed info blah 'gov - I'm not quoting here but summing up..

 

'The Government is committed to adopting and encouraging greater transparency in its commercial activity. There are existing rigorous central controls in place to challenge spend robustly and to ensure that the actions of Government contracting authorities are open, fair and transparent.'

 

Above is a quote and you get the drift....

 

They are prob on commission for adding the words 'Robust' and 'Transparent' as many times as possible - utter dribble!

Her role in NI policy was dubious to such an extent that she avoided travelling to certain countries due to fear of arrest.
