January 13, 20214 yr I agree with you but no politicians do. It's not just Tories. Did Blair ever say there were no WMD? Oh I am so fed up with you defending these horrendous human beings by saying ‘all politicians do it’. We’re talking about THIS.

January 13, 20214 yr I agree with you but no politicians do. It's not just Tories. Did Blair ever say there were no WMD? Not all politicians lie and evade questions so brazenly — the problem with the 'they all do it' mentality is it negatively affects those who do not and normalises those who do.

January 13, 20214 yr Today's word of the day: circumlocutionist Via the amazing Susie Dent ~ @1349350316022636544 Love it, her constant trolling of the government is getting me through this.
January 13, 20214 yr Another U-turn from the Government. Vouchers will replace all meal packs from next week. People power prevails yet again.
January 13, 20214 yr Another victory for the people. Vouchers to replace all meal packs from next week.
January 13, 20214 yr People power would be a public vote of no confidence in this shambolic givernment of and for the rich and a new election under an actual democratic system such as PR!!!
January 13, 20214 yr Another U-turn from the Government. Vouchers will replace all meal packs from next week. People power prevails yet again. this isn't people power. it's pressure from a big public figure; aka a 23 year old football player. People power would be the revolution which is long overdue.
January 13, 20214 yr this isn't people power. it's pressure from a big public figure; aka a 23 year old football player. People power would be the revolution which is long overdue. The people were given power in December 2019 and voted for Boris and an 80 seat majority.
January 13, 20214 yr People power would be a public vote of no confidence in this shambolic givernment of and for the rich and a new election under an actual democratic system such as PR!!! We had a vote. Boris and the Tories won a majority.
January 13, 20214 yr We had a vote. Boris and the Tories won a majority. They got 44%, so no :) Also, with an impartial media, how well do you think your beloved Tories would do? :)
January 13, 20214 yr Whilst it’s great that the people scored another victory, it’d be much nicer if we didn’t have to be at war with our politicians in the first place because they actually had enough human decency to try and do the right thing from the start.
January 13, 20214 yr They got 44%, so no :) Also, with an impartial media, how well do you think your beloved Tories would do? :) A overall majority of seats which is what matters in first past the post Michael.
January 13, 20214 yr Another victory for the people. Vouchers to replace all meal packs from next week. If Johnson and co. got more decisions right in the first place, they wouldn’t have to make endless U-turns.
January 13, 20214 yr A overall majority of seats which is what matters in first past the post Michael. And like I said, in a TRUE democratic system we would have real people power x FPTP is appalling. In a functioning democracy, this scandal would bring any government down.
January 13, 20214 yr Author Great to hear they have u-turned and the meals will be replaced with vouchers. Marcus Rashford deserves so much praise right now (as do the many other people that have been fighting for this - but Marcus has really raised the awareness so much!). :clap:

Both have done a fantastic job.
