Stick That In Your Pipe

[lankeela]

Laura Kuenssberg!

[woofgang]

did she get cut off on her prime?

[Rosie29]

And ?.....

[douglas9401]

A pipe can make one look very distinguished.

[Tilly2]

I didn't know she smoked a pipe. She doesn't look the type.

[lankeela]

Douglas I think the word was extinguished!

[douglas9401]

Her preference is for rough shag despite the tongue bite.

Our hero has joined the ranks of petulant children masquerading as world leaders.

Thanks for the link, Lankeela....without it I'd have missed the side panel links to Heseltine and Nuala McKeever..... bliss.... :-)

I think its fair enough to deal brusquely with people who attempt to ask scientific and medical advisors political questions.

[Tilly2]

I think it's a travesty that Boris Johnson can just shut them up if he doesn't like their questions. Is he turning into Donald Trump? Heaven help us!

[albaqwerty]

Am glad she was shut up.
She wasn't the only one who tried it either. Nasty, nasty attempt.
However, it was nice of them to cause a diversion.

Wonder why they haven't asked how the 200,000 tests for the end of this month are going?
Boris said there is capacity for 125,000(?) and not one reporter jumped on that nugget.

[jno]

we've been fibbed to about tests before, alba.

[woofgang]

Tilly, he made clear that he was shutting them up because they were asking the experts political questions which is not what they are there for, a waste of time and not fair to the advisors. Many times various advisors have made clear that they are not policy makers or politicians.

[albaqwerty]

I know, jno.
Considering the media are calling Cummings a distration, they're not helping themselves.

I've heard that there are tweets calling Bojo a dictator 'cos he shut them up. (tweeters are twits)
They, Sir Stephen and Prof. Chris both did say that they were no way entering a politcal situation, so he didn't silence them.

[gness]

You still are, Jno.

[naomi24]

Good for him. What utter nonsense it has all become.

[retrocop]

// Is he turning into Donald Trump? Heaven help us! //

If he were he would of not allowed these mischief making fools into the press briefing in the first place.

[lankeela]

I'd love to have seen how Trump would have dealt with them!
