Peasants' revolt. Squabbling with Europe, socioeconomic fallout of the plague, dissatisfied serfs feeling ripped off, an entitled boy-king!

Let’s not forget the advisor to the king who broke his promises, and murdered Wat Tyler.

Had we taken their advice we'd have been where Sweden was and is. It is nothing like your ridiculous smoking metaphor. We suffered over forty thousand deaths with the lockdown. How many more would have died without it? Even after a lockdown and slow reopening, the numbers are rising again - so much...

Your suggestion wouldn't work and makes it overly complicated. It's down to the individual banks and financial services to suspend payments, I don't know if the government can force them to suspend everything, unless can show me otherwise. How much would the government have to pay each household fo...

Sky reporting the government now want the individual councils of Greater Manchester to bid for a portion of the 60 million. Good old Boris and the boys.

Robert Jenrick garnered £25 Million for his constituency of Newark (as a town of deprivation - 307 on the national list).

"Pause the economy" Pause all of your income without help? Pause your medical treatment? Pause looking after your mental health? What they should have done in the national lockdown. They partially did it, by shutting down some sections of the economy, but it should have covered financial responsibi...

So I'm assuming this will be a "closed league" with no promotion or relegation?

Sounds exciting

I'm quite sure EU law insists on promotion and relegation in football.

They found no evidence, when they looked two years after the event.

I think the question is, without a cure how long can we survive anyway without an economy?

Pause the economy. Deal with the virus. Reopen the economy.

AndrewJB

If it was so widely "discredited" then why did you need to misrepresent it? It's written by immunologists. There may be idsagreement between immunologists as to how best to tackle the virus but that is not the same as "discrediting" something. The proposed approach has certainly not been "discredit...

Interesting that Gove said today that Track and Trace only works when you are facing a decreasing amount of cases. The government only got track and trace properly up and running when cases started to rise again. Had the system been up and running properly since May and people were not so delicate ...

The way you talk it's like you've never encountered rich people getting richer on the back of gov decisions. Have you been living in a cave? I'll worry about our standards later if they change. We have higher standards on things than large chunks of the EU, but that doesn't seem to bother you for s...

I think some leave advocates were as full of **** as remainers. Those leave advocates are now in government. As for the remain d*******s, they all came from the same party. All the other parties had positive messages about why we should remain. Decent pragmatic arguments that were all ignored becau...

AndrewJB

Not admitted anything, just making it crystal clear that no one is forced to lower their standards. The country as a result of Brexit could lower standards in order to get a trade deal. Otherwise the government would have passed the amendment. At the very foundational level, brexit has to be better...

I'm splitting the blame, there's a difference. We had a weak government/PM and a half arsed negotiating team who just kept rolling over to have their tummy tickled. I believe if we'd have people who truly wanted to leave in charge, instead of being mouthpieces, then the current situation would be d...

AndrewJB

I agree, they should have realised that the EU was never going to negotiate with what we would consider to be good faith. They are realising it now, hence the legislation that will allow them to negate, if necessary, some of their actions. Had they said this at the time, Leave would never have won....

So are you having a whinge about people not understanding something or the government following its small print?

If you’re unable to understand when I’m describing a government acting in bad faith, then I’m not sure how to write more clearly.

We've been making new trade agreements all year.. We are going to be fully prepared to deal with the rest of the world. We are about to leave a trading relationship to which 40% of our exports go. We have not, in all of the agreements we have reached, come near to replacing that. Our new trade agre...

See above You must know that the combination of “get brexit done” and “oven ready deal” led a lot of people to believe it was all finished if Johnson got in? We now know the deal he signed was something he was never going to keep to. He signed it in bad faith. That you would champion and defend suc...

AndrewJB

It wasn't impossible to deliver a deal, the problem was we had soft idiots in charge who couldn't really be arsed to get a deal done, instead the flounced around trying to give the impression that they knew what they were doing and were trying their best when the reality was vastly different.

Trust you to be slow on the uptake. As you only joined in August, maybe you were abroad when it all happened in January ;) P.S. with apologies to Ringo, I have to admit John Mc line did make me laugh out loud. Johnson has already repudiated elements of the withdrawal agreement, which, if the term o...

A no deal departure will mark a new level of incompetence on the part of our government. Four and a half years after the vote, they’ve still not made it work.

And it would have saved paying all that overtime to NHS staff if they were working for nothing.

Did you ever explain where the food would be coming from for the people to buy?

Where did I suggest people still in work shouldn’t be paid?

AndrewJB

That's true. Isn't it lucky that the NHS runs on fresh air and doesn't depend on having a healthy economy to pay for it. The economy has been woefully mismanaged throughout. There are too many people in and around government and the civil service who have seen this pandemic as an opportunity to mak...

I could provide a link of someone building an extension without planning permission and getting away with it, but he wouldn't thank me for doing so. Complaining that rich people can hide their extension is pure class envy. "It's not fair, he's got a bigger house than me". Deal with it. By all means...

The law about planning permission is that if the new build is there for 10 years, it is allowed to stay. In some cases, 5 years. A farmer not that long ago built a house and surrounded it by hay bales to try and hide it for the relevant time, but it was spotted and he had to pull it down. Now, you ...

Given that you're the one adamant that it's got nothing to do with him then I can only assume that you have seen the deeds and the national newspapers have just made up that easily verifiable fact and you're the only one who has checked it.

This did come out at the time that it was a property in his name without planning permission. In the scheme of things it didn't touch the surface in terms of news headlines.

Does he own the cottage? Have you seen the documents? What is his portion of this “made up” bill? If he does own it what would his discount be?

I don’t know the breakdown of how much he owes as owner of the cottage, and how much his sister owes, etc, but if I owed part of a £50k tax bill that is forgiven, then that’s like being handed the money.
