Gove has all the sly cunning of a Disney villain, he might as well do the piece to camera where he explains the plot so the under fives can keep up with story. The stories from a 'senior source' about Boris having gone soft in the head after his bout of covid were particularly enjoyable. Good to know in a moment of crisis the people leading the effort are expanding more energy stitching each other up and working out if they have the numbers for a putsch than they are on protecting us

100,000 tests per day by the end of April?

Seriously Mr. Hancock?

Are there any Tories left on this board? They have all been converted clearly because of the Tory’s disgraceful mismanagement of the Covid crisis.

The news that they have simply been following the ‘scientific advice’ which Cummings has been part of should convince even the most moronic never to trust them again.

You're amongst the most moronic on here.

It wasn't their mismanagement.

It was their ideology. We are worker ants that bring them them wealth in goods times but can be easily crushed in bad times.

Deluded. Have you not been following .918 and his muckers posts on here? Trump and Johnson could piss in their porridge and they’d find a way of saying they’d asked for it. This latest revelation (if true) will be meaningless to them.

The supposedly independant scientific advisory group Sage, made up of eminent scientists, meet with Dominic Cummings in attendance, no wonder Boris has been so confused.

.918 is indeed one of the rabid few who fit your description. However, the more rational Tory supporters are indeed questioning their own government.

There will be a reckoning when this is ‘over’.

He said they "occasionally" asked questions or offered help when "scientists mention problems in Whitehall", adding that others "also listen to meetings without being on, or a member of, Sage".

He added: "'Public confidence in the media has collapsed during this emergency partly because of ludicrous stories such as this."



Occasionally asked questions, my arse.

So No 10 are now going the trump route of blaming everything on the media and fake news. This is staggering.

Personally, there is very little within the Mainstream Media that I trust these days.

Investigative journalism is now at an all time low. The Mainstream Media is manipulated and controlled; and the majority of the truth behind the important stories, are indeed suppressed.

Look no further than the Alex Salmond case this year.

Don't even get me started on the disgusting treatment of Julian Assange; and the lies surrounding the protection provided after Anne Sacoolas's murder of Harry Dunn.

In 2018, we had the fantasy tale of the Skripal incident (I wonder whatever happened to them?). Now that particular one was a very good fairy story. :lol:

However, people in this Country are so brainwashed by the lies and deceit spewed out by the MSM these days, they will consume the vast majority of it no problem. They'll gladly even come back for second helpings.

Suffice to say that the Tory Party are indeed a cog within the machine.

Excellent post..says it all .I often wonder how the powers that are in control get the msn to tow the line. Is it bribes or threats?
for example every part of the msn media, goes along with the Madeleine McCann bollocks that she was abducted........not a single journo, in a single newspaper or TV outlet has ever questioned that flawed theory.....once again, how do they get them all to tow the establishment line?
The novachock nonsense from 2018, was ridiculous, with the story changing every day. As the post says, what happened to the Skripals. Not a single journo cast any doubt on the assumption Russia was behind it...they all followed the Establishment line once again.
John Pilger, the greatest investigative journalist ever, wouldnt have found employment now...the msm wouldnt touch him with a bargepole, because he challenged the establishment narritive, which you were allowed to do in the 70's & 80's
No wonder the more intelligent, are seeking alternative news outlets for their information

There doesn't need to be any bribes or threats. The journos are from the same backgrounds as the politicos. They went to the same schools, were raised with the same values, went to the same universities, did the same degrees, mingled in the same social groups, broke into their respective industries in the same way, earn relatively similar incomes, live in similar large houses, in similar parts of the country, have the same social networks and go to similar social gatherings, spend their whole working lives alongside each other, reinforce each other's view of the world and in general have the same class interests as each other. As Chomsky pointed out you don't need to pressure the media into conforming, if a journo didn't already conform they wouldn't get their foot in the door in the first place. This is exactly what is meant by 'The Establishment'.

The general election was only in December the result tells you that very few people other than the labour left thought they were a credible alternative to what the Tories had to offer with thousands in the Labour heartlands deciding to abandon their roots because the party was becoming too extreme and no one other than the far left wanted Corbyn as PM.

Had Starmer been in charge rather than Corbyn and his momentum masters I really believe Labour had at least a chance of winning the election, whinge all you like about the current govt but Labour truely screwed up by not replacing Corbyn before the last election you f*cked up your chance and now we are left with the consequences.

I'm absolutely sure Brexit had nothing at all to do with the Labour heartlands abandoning their roots, and that it was all the Labour Party becoming too extreme.
