PP to whom are you referring?

[gness]

I voted yes because it's how I would have voted if asked every day since he became PM.
I scoffed when I read he was isolating. But what do I know. The truth could be that every member of his family has tested positive.
When his record of lying or evading the truth is making folk distrust everything he says he really should go.

Who would I replace him with? God knows but our little stitch and 'ladydog' group would do a much better job. We put the world to rights every Wednesday....well we do when most of us oldies can remember that it's Wednesday and turn up.

Anne - Who do you think is 'guilty' and what are they 'guilty' of?

[andy-hughes]

Roy - there is no 'curve ball' just Naomi's argument being dismantled, and her moving on.

Actually, gness, when I said I had had enough of middle-aged white men... I'm tempted to vote for the s&b group. A change can't be bad...

[gness]

Worth a try, Pixie and we've not had a party or boozy work meeting.......yet. ;-)

[anneasquith]

AH. Boris, lying .

[pixie374]

Well, you should. I'm sticking with Boris. But also, because I realise any replacement would just give us more of exactly the same.
Bring it on!

anneasquith 12.43. Lets put it like this why would one send an apology to the Queen, if they've done nothing wrong. The apology its self should really put any investigation to bed.

Himself hopefully.

“ There is a by election next month. Labour have a small majority of 3,500 and the Conservatives might expect to win it. If they don’t, the should he stay or should he go question will be easier to answer.

Are you kidding? How often does any government in mid term gain a seat in a by election let alone one in the state the current government is in. I think the Tories have won one this parliament but it feels like a millenium ago
The Tories will never win that. If they do it would probably see Johnson PM for life.

[pixie374]

I think "seats' are a major problem. A built-in bias. We also only have one party to vote for.
No matter what anyone thought of the referendum "results"- a one to one method, was the first time I have ever seen actual democracy.

[andy-hughes]

Does anyone subscribe to naomi's view, that we should cut Boris some slack in view of the tough time he endured?

[anneasquith]

Not just Naomi AH .

Ok then, on that basis, you appear to be exonerating Jimmy Savile.08:35 Sat 15th Jan 2022

naomi never mentioned Savile,

This is a classic case of the so rule and the fact that you continue to deny it lays bare your arrogant double standards.

[pixie374]

I do. I have no idea who would have done differently, or better. As I said, his job is to give us the most accurate advice and information possible. But- nobody should have been punished for making their own individual decisions.
Fines should be paid back, apologies to the people who were prevented for visiting others. And, I sincerely hope, that neither this government, or any others... ever try to control behaviour again. Steep learning curve.
And if Boris ever again tries to legislate against those visiting dying people, I will also feel the same way.

[Teapots1]

13.48 I've found over the years that there are some people, good and not so good people, can not and will not accept any sort of defeat in any shape or form. They find that their only option is to become oblivious to whats happening that they disagree with and carry on in denial, the latter later leading to sometimes lies and diversions.

[andy-hughes]

Roy - my point is a simple one.

If you accept that there is a bank of goodwill, and you score credit by doing good things, and then, when you behave badly, you can call on that goodwill and use some credit - then Boris gets away with his party's law breaking.

My point is, if you use that template in another situation, then the same rule must work.

Therefore, if you take an example as I did, Jimmy Savile, then he is exonerated because he did so much good.

An extreme example, but if you are applying your reasoning fairly, it stands up.

If it doesn't stand up, and obviously it doesn't, then the original premise is invalidated, and that is the point I made.

I was careful not to invoke the So Rule - I suggested to naomi what her argument appeared to indicate, and offered her a chance to defend it.

I think her argument cannot be sustained, and it would appear from her disinclination to defend it, that she thinks so as well.

Experience suggests that maomi will post something, but it will be to have a go at me, rather than addressing my point.

[pixie374]

I don't think there is is any doubt, that being a brilliant person... can't negate being a truly awful one.
Although (and I know you'll hate me today lol), I would say the same about an awful person, making great art.

You actually seem to agree, to separate different things. Not something I can do... because I see someone as a "whole".
