    I mentioned Chris Morris and Brass Eye earlier, even he couldn't write this sort of stuff. Remember the Borat film? A large section of the US is really like that. Strange people and a strange country.

    Not going to happen is it. The government won by a landslide only 4 months ago.

    Straw poll with family and friends who voted Conservative. Not one of them regrets their vote, even in hindsight.

    I suspect the ones wanting a change are the ones who voted Labour or Liberal, and like remainers, are struggling to accept the democratic voting

    Chippy at the bottom of our road has opened again, the queues are huge. Time to get things like the refuse tips open again as well. No need whatsoever to have things like that shut.

    Yeah, you’ve got the East Coast and the West Coast and everything in between is an open lunatic asylum.
    Idiotic country.

    The media coverage has been a disgrace. I think there are things that should be questioned once this has lockdown has passed but some media outlets like the BBC have literally been dining out on the misery. You can feel their disappointment when the fatality figures go down, once less stick to beat the governtment with. But hey we could always follow the Scandanavians, just depends which ones....

    Ah sorry mate, I misunderstood what you meant then. You said Murdoch is done with this government, time for change, I assumed you meant party not cabinet

    What did people think? That MacDonalds would stay shut forever? While they keep showing us large gatherings of people each week on Westmister bridge to 'clap' the NHS then more people will start to migrate out of their doors.

    The drive home today at 2 o’clock was probably the busiest I’ve seen since lockdown started.

    I noticed tha same about 4 ish. Even had a bit of a queue in Headingley. There are major roadworks all over the centre of Leeds. Don't know if its just lucky timing or if they have actually made a decision to reschedule them.

    Not sure why they closed in first place. The drive through is an ideal solution for social distancing

    Dominic Cummings sits in on the sage meetings. Believes in Eugenics. Definitely went for herd immunity and still in that now for me.

    I said at the time that whole policy position had his fingerprints all over it, this does not surprise me at all
