Tweet Of The Day

[Khandro]

The PM is engaged in a battle the likes of which we've not seen. The responsibility is colossal & he is working tirelessly.
We live in a free society, so anyone can be a backseat critic.
—But if you are pushing conspiracies & launching petty barbs from your home– you're a ***

— Zac Goldsmith (@ZacGoldsmith) March 23, 2020

[Khandro]

It begins with t & rhymes with rat :0)

[emmie]

nice...

[douglas9401]

He's actually a bit of a plum, our Zac.

[retrocop]

Pretty much says it as it is. Zac for London Mayor.

[ToraToraTora]

yep, bang on, all these anti British lefties snipping from the side lines need to ***, I wonder what Agent Cob would be doing in this situation.

[gulliver1]

Never mind Agent Cob , Agent Dom is the UKs biggest threat. BOC

[ichkeria]

The irony of this is stunning.

Accusing people of barbs and then calling them a **** is a bit like telling like telling people to stop ****** swearing :-)

[Khandro]

ichi; ^^ nothing like that at all, it was said for theatrical emphasis & is completely apt in this context.
I can't imagine why you would want to question it - unless that is you don't agree with the sentiment & think the PM isn't doing enough, which I wouldn't put past you trying any way to do exactly as Zac says; criticising from the back-seat.

[ichkeria]

I'm not criticising Johnson, just poiinting out that Mr Goldsmith is not averse to a few barbs himself.

[Gromit]

It must be very difficult being PM at the moment. The situation is unprecedented.
But just because it is difficult doesn’t mean we cannot have an opinion on how he is doing.
Goldsmith’s Tweet is without doubt a blatant brown nose job. Ingratiating himself in the hope of advancement in his career.

Zac for London Mayor

lol. Frank Zacharias Robin Goldsmith, Baron Goldsmith of Richmond Park, ran for mayor last time. He finished a mere nine points behind the winner. He was actually doing quite well in the polls till he started sabotaging himself.

[ichkeria]

He's minister for the Pacific at the moment.
I thought that was a wikipedia hack when I first read it :-)

[jno]

uh, that's Pitcairn island, is it?

[ichkeria]

It may mean he only takes queries from calm people

Anyway many more tweets like that and I am sure he'll get a portfolio closer to home in due course

[jno]

actually, I would have thought sorting out the child sex abuse culture on Pitcairn would be a full time job

Zac Goldsmith seems so loyal to Boris in his hour of need, he is such a Brick.

[cassa333]

Gulliver, a bit like Abbott with Corbin!

[gulliver1]

18.09, yes but Abbot can not really be a brick , can she.

[Canary42]

I am very amused by the Aber who repeatedly likened the EU to the USSR as a reason we should get out is now himself taking the USSR line that our leader must not be criticised . Nice little U-turn there.
