Ketchup shortage in the Loonies lonely flat!orraloon said:Maybe one for the FatBo fanbois. With the swirl of rumours of the Dear Leader playing away, again, strife with latest co-breeder, superinjunction et al, why on earth would anyone, male female or other, get into bed with that one? Unless they reckon on getting a substantial future revenue stream?
There's no shortage of empty beer or wine bottles though...0 -

Any truth to this do we think?

The father-in-law of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's closest aide has reportedly said Johnson plans to stand down in six months because of lingering health problems caused by the novel coronavirus.

It would explain his consistent absence from most decision making - he's just in bad shape following corona, which does happen.0

Johnson was admitted to an intensive-care unit with COVID-19 in April but returned to work just weeks later.https://www.businessinsider.com/dominic-cummings-father-in-law-boris-johnson-will-resign-february-2020-8?r=US&IR=T
Wakefield is said to have compared Johnson's condition to that of an injured horse that returns to work too soon.
"If you put a horse back to work when it's injured, it will never recover," he was quoted as saying.
Very well layout out article that. The key point listed, then the detail is there if the time is available.0 -

I expect that number to grow as we move forward, especially as we learn what we are dealing with. Those pesky unknowns that some are so sure about.rick_chasey said:

Before people are getting too concerned though. There is that shot making the rounds of Johnson out hill walking with his child strapped to his chest.0

Have to say, I was not expecting the Tory party to be the party to get rid of all tanks in the UK army...

I don't think that is the plan being mooted.
It's quite a material change in the kind of warfare the UK will be capable of getting involved in.0 -

The government is examining the controversial idea as the cost of upgrading Britain’s ageing fleet of 227 Challenger 2 tanks, and the 388 Warrior armoured fighting vehicles that support them on the battlefield, has soared.
Both vehicles were branded “obsolete” last year and the argument has been made in the Ministry of Defence that the changing character of warfare demands more investment in cybercapabilities, space and other cutting-edge technologies.
The budget for army kit is already squeezed and the ministry is preparing for its funding to be cut.

I can walk my dog for a couple of hours, but can't ride my bike or concentrate on anything for very long.

They were consolidated into the other squadron to provide spares and working tanks. Definitely an exit policy underway.
The regiment may need renaming.

I seem to recall reading an article that claimed those with tangible but more mild symptoms were having more lasting effects than those with a more severe illness.pblakeney said:Bit of a dent into the theory of just catching a bit a moving on.
Obviously won’t apply to all but there do some to be many unusual patterns.

I see he’s been absent for the whole A level f@ck up but had made a rousing return for an intervention saving the last night of the proms.
Culture wars I guess is more comfortable ground for him than governance.0 -
If he resigns it's would most likely be because all he was ever interested in was being PM rather than what it involved. Just the ultimate high power position to add to his CV. He can resign, blame it on Covid, spend the rest of his life going on about how he 'got Brexit done' (which is the sole reason he got elected) and not have lost an election as PM.0

I'm liking this plan.
He's lazy, dishonest, only interested in himself, not as clever as he thinks he is, and has no real principles - the absolute opposite of Margaret Thatcher.
Now, all the Tories need is someone honest, hard working, principled and deeply intelligent, who is in politics for the good of the country...
Step forward... erm... ah... hmm...0 -

Sounds like that 80 seat majority are getting fed up with the boss's preference for centralised autocratic decision making. Listening to the interview this morning I had to remind myself that he was talking about his own party leader.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Telegraph carrying on with criticism, mostly on this point, and the fact that the Govt seem to be following Sturgeon's decisions three days later. I must quiz my civil service mole, but it appears to be a true omnishambles with Johnson 'leading' the party.rjsterry said:Sounds like that 80 seat majority are getting fed up with the boss's preference for centralised autocratic decision making.
