I've seen it from people I know on facebook. For some it's a case of 'I voted tory ergo the tory guy cannot do anything wrong ergo I didn't do anything wrong voting for them'.

I saw a blue tick on twitter blame the current furore on 'cancel culture'.

Yep. Just had the misfortune of seeing a Facebook post from my brother (who is a c**t) and his many c**t friends saying that his explanation is fine, he did what everyone else who cares about their families would have done and the left and the media need to fuck off and leave him alone now. And the one non c**t who, from what I can work out, has been involved in some way in transporting relatives too and from hospital, and has therefore seen some shit that most of us thankfully haven't had to deal with, has basically been told to get back in his box for breaking from the official c**t line.

ETA just re read and it was the wrong way round. He works for the ambulance service so was taking people with Covid 19 to hospital, in many cases knowing that was the last time their relatives were going to see them as they wouldn't be allowed to visit. He's quite pissed off.

Which is all the more amazing since that’s been his MO with the Brexit and Tory election campaigns. He’s so utterly misread the mood.

Nah, his MO has always been telling the public what to think. Very few people wanted a no-deal Brexit when voting in the referendum, but he told them that was what they wanted because it's what he wanted.

The problem he has here is he can't tell people "no, the rules were not that" because it's not just some political opinion, it's how people are actually living their day-to-day lives. No-one is going to go "yeah, I probably did drive to Durham during lockdown myself" in the same way they go "yeah, I did want no deal all along".

So we know about car showrooms and non essential shops. When are we going to be allowed to see more than 1 family member?!!

Car showrooms are essential to Dominic right now with his dodgy eyesight ... he’s also looking at fuel economy

It's the arrogance, the entitlement, the sheer fucking neck of these guys that angers me.

It's not about Cummings per se.  It's not a left/right/brexit thing.

It's about the guy at the top taking some fucking responsibility.

He could have come out today, or preferably sooner, and given a mea culpa.  Handed in his notice and gone.  He'll fall into another cushy job.  He could even be re-recruited in plenty of time before the next election.  He could still be advising the government behind the scenes, and they could still be following his ideas.

But no.  The absolute contempt these c**ts show for the rest of us.  When you read the heartbreaking stories about people who've lost loved ones.  When I walk around my village seeing the closed businesses of people I know, some of whom will never reopen.

And these twats just carry on as if it doesn't fucking matter.  The utter shame of it all.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
