No smoke without fire does come to mind but surely he hasn't been stupid enough to make such a comment... Mental if true. Boris is the Tory Foreign Secretary who said "fuck business" when they were lobbying for a softer Brexit back in the day, he's prone to using overblown language so who knows? Lotta enquiries going on at the moment and it seems to have the Tories a little bit rattled as they are all giving identical replies, the problem for us lefties is the criticism is all coming from outside the tent at the moment, unless one of the insiders (Gove?) delivers the fatal blow it's all destined for wrapping tomorrow's fish suppers - as us oldies say! ****************** Both BBC and ITV quoting "sources" saying BJ did make the alleged remark, with Peston on ITV also saying Cummings is not the "chatty rat".

None of that changes the fact that you are a plastic lefty bud. It's easy to be a hand-wringing left winger from the comfort of your armchair. I have no issue with genuine left wingers.

The other has superficial beliefs. You can spot them a mile away. Endless virtue signalling is one classic way of spotting them for example. Does this person constantly refer to people who don't share his view as being cunts or morally repugnant in some way? The inference being that he himself is somehow holding a virtuous viewpoint rather than just a viewpoint. People who routinely call other people morally repugnant need closely watching and kept away from any position of power and influence. You shouldn't trust them. I remember the champagne socialists of the 80's and 90's as great examples of this. Bud the Baker is of this sort of hypocritical, fake tradition. I'm surprised you have to ask this TBH.

Sue Denim Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Latest NRS stats and I’ve updated my chart As I predicted when the “second wave” began, the red and blue lines would meet again at the end of the pandemic.

Sue Denim Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 All cause weekly mortality in Scotland since 1974 updated. Note the extreme seasonality. Deaths peak and fall away rapidly every single winter without lockdowns. And we’ve had far worse winters than this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vastly overstated covid deaths during the winter. Wow! That's a wonderful piece of news. So it's not only "are we nearly there yet?". It is all over!!! No tapering. No more waves, no more rando outbreaks sporadically hitting parts of the country, no more spikes in Government stats, no more over crowded hospitals with over-worked staff trying to keep people alive. We are at the end of all that, according our in-house denier. No more covid and its variants... Yippeee!!!!! I'm really relieved that we'll... ....no longer be bludgeoned by so many irrelevant graphs from the great persecutor of us middle class lefties. What a sheer relief.

oaksoft Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 3 hours ago, salmonbuddie said: You okay, h*n? There you go, some plastic sympathy from a Peter Weir. Of course I'm OK. We won on Monday night and I had a great night's sleep. I've had my first covid jab with a second due in a few weeks. Covid restrictions are being removed and life is returning to normal. Why would I not be OK? I have no idea what you mean by bringing up Peter Weir but I'm sure that after a few coffees this morning I'll get over it. Life is awesome. For all the difficulties people face in life in this country (and all the many, and seemingly endless, problems still needing resolved), there's never been a better time in the entire history of mankind to be alive right now in this part of the world. I genuinely wish more people like you could take a step back, get a little perspective and appreciate that a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the guy who labelled the Green Party's (the most left wing party in Scotland with MSPs) tax plans "ridiculous" hardly showing respect, "excessive" would have made the same point but been respectful at the same time - but a lack of self-awareness has always been one of your noticeable personality traits. You show little respect to anyone and deserve none in return, you bullied IOBS off the forum - however I admit to being indebted for the the phrase "morally repugnant" as it's a perfect fit for you.
