This the bunch of chancers who have tried to bring in track and trace apps, have told us that they will sort out border control etc. They can't even arrange a zoom meeting.

Previously I was undecided about the competence of the current chancellor, but after having just watched Rishi Sunak's autocue speech from the Conservative Party Conference I'm now convinced he's as much of a hoof****ing bungle**** as the rest of them and is spoon fed his soundbites by Cummings.
They could start to balance the books by taking money back from the companies who were given it for services they could never deliver. Ferries, POE and test and trace spring instantly to mind. Perhaps they would also like to close the loopholes on tax avoidance. Luke Rees-mogg for example earning over 100m in the last five years and paying diddly squat in tax. ****ing despicable bunch of con artists. And we are allowing it to happen. We see it, we know about it and we allow it. Shame on us as well
"Through careful management of our economy, this Conservative government will always balance the books."
Man, you have to laugh.

Yeah, I was more meaning about in Scotland. No matter what anyone says Scotland has not voted for a Tory gov since the mid 50s but we keep getting them. Even if we had voted for Labour last time we would still have a ****ing Tory gov. I still fail to see how after all of what's been happening in the last ten years and more recently that staying part of a union that votes these *******s in more often than not is a good thing
How about every single party who supported remain but failed to see that a large section of people in our country had legitimate concerns about being left behind and not listened to? The Tories answered their call. They gave the the wrong answer but nobody else was taking them seriously.
Watching Davidson demand that Sturgeon explain how and when she will compensate businesses who will be effected was particularly galling yesterday.
I posted yesterday that the £40M grant was nowhere near enough. That is largely true.
However the SG has cobbled together what they can and, putting aside the various debates about the merits of the restrictions on hospitality, they have tried to mitigate the impact to the best of their ability.
Davidson should be asking questions of her bosses in London. They are simultaneously increasing restrictions whilst cutting support. It's nonsensical and is abandoning the lowest paid workers and the most vulnerable in society at a time when they need help the most. Whatever people's views are on hospitality (or other imapacted industries) they should all be standing together with fellow workers and humans and demanding better from the government. It's so inherently wrong. It's classic double standards from Davidson and her ire is, at least in part, being aimed at the wrong people.
As someone who doesn’t work in hospitality but feels greatly for those that do at the moment, I’m up for this.
The problem with taking to the streets of Scotland is, who are we protesting about? As you suggest the Scottish Government are cobbling together what they can from down the back of the sofa. Westminster hold the power here but is Boris going to be concerned about a protest in Edinburgh? Probably not, he’ll just twist it around to point it at the SNP and he’ll be backed by the right wing press and the ‘impartial’ BBC.
So if we don’t do the protest thing, what next? Don’t vote Tory at the next election? I think we’ve tried that a few times over the past 50 years or so.
There really only is one long term solution here.
I gather the leader of the tory branch in Scotland got a gig in England tonight, running the lines for his favourite national team.
Glorious to watch the Tory on Question Time squirm to make the point that the state we are in is due to a global pandemic and not their fault, the irony that for 10 years they have went on about how a Global Financial Crisis was all Labours fault
