Wainy316 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 What annoys me is that any criticism (rightly) thrown Hancock's way should also be attributable to his PM at the time, De Pfeffel. He should be every bit as universally despised (I know he is already by anyone with half a brain). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obvious one is the red bus, people saw it and it’s etched into their brains. The other thing Boris did which seems to have won over millions of people was grabbing a beer with the genera public during covid. The widespread masses came to the conclusion he was a great, normal guy who enjoys a pint at a local pub like everyone else. It was an immense bit of PR and a major reason why people have sympathy for him failing but doing his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Vallance accused Hancock of being incompetent, inept and inadequate for the job of organising and delivering a Covid strategy, face to face in a shouting match. Vallance took his argument to BJ, who quite correctly sided with Vallance, and Bingham was appointed in favour of Team Hancock. An addendum to this story, that's become more relevant since. Whilst the likes of Raab and Gove argued with the science in COBRA meetings (which the Brexit PM swerved), Sunak's position was one of resisting assistance to the wider population.

Yep, and no matter how many times this is pointed out, somehow he's still Sunak who delivered on furlough.

mjmooney Posted November 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2022 When Mrs. Thatcher, during her election campaign in 1983, first raised the issue of “Victorian values,” she said that she was grateful to have been brought up by a Victorian grandmother who taught her those values: hard work, self-reliance, self-respect, cleanliness, neighborliness, pride in country. “All of these things,” she said, “are Victorian values. They are also perennial values.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This countries **** Council tax makes up 50% of local government funding. The rest comes from government grants and business rates. Inflation is running at over 10% and your council tax will now be allowed to go up by a maximum of 4.99% so even with the increase councils will have a huge black hole to fill which is why they will have to make the cuts. I trust you are putting the blame where it needs to go - the Tory government of the last 12 years, 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
