747 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 That Matt Hancock will go far. :D After watching the Media journalists and the Facebook Mafia I can say that I still love my country even though it is inhabited mainly by gobs**tes and idiots (a few of whom are members of this forum).

I would agree that Robert Peston is pretty useless, and too far up himself - but when I recall Hancocks' re-assurances about the " protective ring " he put around care homes - the further HE goes , the better. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love my country even though it is inhabited mainly by gobs**tes and idiots (a few of whom are members of this forum). One of the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of democracy is that 50% of the electorate are not as clever as the others - and even some of the cleverer ones are blinkered fools.

( … and maybe Roosevelt wasn't too happy about free speech anyway, I doubt if many politicians are ). All will become clarified about Hancocks, good or bad, contribution after the inevitable inquiry. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
