Is it me, or are these Cold War Steve posts just not very funny. It's the same gag over and over. We get it.

It's not just you.

Also it is lazy Boarding by Tuffers. Why doesn't he put his brain in gear and come up with his own and original ideas?

I'm not sure the Cold War Steve things are meant to be 'funny'. they are meant to be thought provoking

It's just spam

I hope the moderator and Admin take appropriate action

you know it really is getting to them when
they all pipe up to condemn a satirical look at politics.

Shame they arent ready to look at the corrupt government
feathering there own nests with as much money from
the job as they possibly can .

As its current affairs, i dont see the problem .

imagine they arent the biggest fans of Spitting image this lot .


Touchy Touchy

sounds like you are against FREEDOM OF SPEECH .

Very Russian of you ,
by the by
I thought you just saw a long list of
empty posts as youve blocked me .

Massive U turn by the Sleaze Party.

I've not actually been following this that closely, but from what I can gather the following has happened:

• Neil Paterson was paid £500ph to advise for Randox while they were bidding for a government contract to perform Covid testing.

• Randox had their contract with the police terminated after it was discovered that a "most serious breach" of forensic science standards had occured.

• The Rugby Football Union & Premiership Rugby terminated their contracts with Randox as it was responsible for errors that saw false positives for a number of Bath Rugby players.

• Randox also had to recall up to 750,000 unused coronavirus testing kits because of safety concerns.

• And yet, despite all this, lucky old Randox won a £133m contract for Covid testing without any other firms getting a chance to bid!

• The Government then made the Randox Covid tests mandatory for travel.

• Randox then reports £218million revenue (+85%).

• And, if that isn't enough, Randox has also received millions in Government grants. When a Freedom of Information request was made to understand how much Randox had received and for what purpose, the Department for Trade refused saying that it would cost too much to response to the request with the information.

Have I got this right? Is this it, or am I missing something? I'm all for balance, being rational and reasonable, so am more than happy to be directed towards a proper explanation.

You forgot to label it establishment corruption and most likely fraud.

Well that's why I'm asking if I've understood this first. Because, if it is as I've set out above, then it does sound a teensy bit corruptiony and that a criminal offence may have occurred.

But I'm sure we have this wrong, and that there will be a perfectly good explanation coming along any moment now.

This poor mans wife - the daughter of the Viscount Ridley and grand daughter of the Earl of Scarborough, no less - has just taken her own life and this is how you treat him? Sickening.

Poor Mans Wife

You mean the woman who looked up suicide 3 times on line on her
computer & then committed suicude on His (Patersons) BIRTHDAY .

Maybe she was leaving him a special gift ?

Not sure what her background has to do with the fact she ended her own life

Stay classy as always
