Say what you want about Yvette Cooper but she’s made BoJo look like a right tit - not hard to do granted.

Can I pre-nominate Flashman for the Sin Bins 2020 leading contender at this years 'snowflake' of the year awards.
Nasty media.
Diddums.

I think that performance now guarantees that they will never see him again.

I suspect he’ll hold on for a bit having come this far, but the laughter has largely done for his aura of success and even broad competence. People in Government will be much more ready to answer back now and I don’t think he’s got the temperament to endure that very long.

Yup, Cummings is now a busted flush.
Even his dope of a boss won't ever let Dom put his head anywhere near the parapet again, never mind above it.

Only if you're a complete idiot who doesn't understand the meaning of the word.

I nominate you for 'most likely to be out at 2am trying people's car doors'. Seems to fit your personality.

Good read, confirming me in my existing opinion.

Good reading if that's how you lean, obviously.

It's an opinion piece, full of bias, supposition and unfounded theory. Nice if it reaffirms your views. Pretty dull if it doesn't.

Aye, if it doesn’t ring true for you, I’m sure it reads as pompous and dull. It’s the same with me when people get excited about something written or said by Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens or Jordan Peterson (among many others); I can never really see it.

You and I, we see the world differently. However, you do sometimes write things I find interesting, even though I rarely agree, and it is nicer if we all try to rub along, innit? In fairness to Cummings, he has (or at least espouses) some interesting ideas too - I’m often a bit nervous of where his line of thought is leading, but I even agree with him on a fair proportion of it.

I'll be kind enough to leave you car alone Flashers.
After all, I'd hate to dash the strategic plan you made back in March of a possible long distance dash to your cousins for child-minding duties if you or Mrs Flashman succumbs to the virus.
