Just as well you're already the keeper of the Coup de Mis?re LadyG, saves having to take it to the engravers... ;-)

Week 5 points... Week 5 table...

Afraid not, judging by all the pro-Brexit comments J&B has posted over the years... ETA: Actually, J&B is being sarcastic, but I just find it a bit rich, sarcastic or otherwise, a Brexiter bemoaning a Brexiter PM and Gov...

Jules-and-Boo Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I hope everyone who voted for Boris is happy What did you expect when you voted for Brexit, that we'd end up with some cuddly, cutesy centrist Gov?...

So the midday deadline has passed... I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Greater Manchester :) #republikofmancunia

As well as citing the economic factors of Covid and Brexit for their downgrading, Moody's also cited ''the weakening in the UK's institutions and governance'', i.e. a weakening of UK democracy. This Gov doesn't seem to realise that the rest of the world watches on as we willingly self-harm over Brexit, it didn't go unnoticed that this Gov stuck two-fingers up to democracy by unlawfully shutting down Parliament, and is now showing blatant contempt for international law with the Internal Markets Bill. Words and actions have consequences as we will find out a lot more come January...

Didn't Spurs go on a long run of not winning a game every time Bale played, when he first signed for them?...

Did anyone else try and pronounce grovevale in an Italian accent?...:)

...and breathe

Yep, hence the reference to dogging...

I'm guessing the thinking behind disposables is that they think customers won't want to drink/eat from crockery/cutlery that someone else has used, despite then being washed after use...

Sex banned indoors for Tier 2 couples living apart, No 10 confirms At least Artful will be pleased, dogging is still legal under Tier 2 rules...

I heard a travel report yesterday morning saying there was a traffic problem with LL, but it didn't mention specifics. The report this morning said there were still ongoing issues on LL and specifically mentioned the mains leak, so I'm assuming they're linked...

Spoiler alert! :)...

Most normal, rational people don't expect a Gov to get 'this global pandemic right', but there are degrees of getting things right/wrong... Some countries have dealt well with suppression of the virus. Some countries have dealt quite well with the economic fall out. Some countries have focused well on longer term planning. Some have done well on all 3. Most have done well on one. U.K. government has failed on all 3

Depends whether you're testing your eyesight or not...

Because of the exponential nature of virus growth, data has shown that Johnson's dithering and delaying the initial lockdown by a week, doubled the number of deaths. Yet despite SAGE's advice, here we are again...

It's merely delaying the inevitable. We shouldn't be surprised, we have a Gov that's puts it's head in the sand over the complexities and realities of Brexit, so don't expect it to behave differently, it's the Covid equivalent of kicking the can down the road...

The so-called 'libertarian right' have a strange mindset, on the one hand with Covid they say they want to protect the economy knowing that entails the risk of more people dying, yet they also tend to defend Brexit, including No Deal, and are happy to trash the economy for 'sovereignty'. The LSE recently released an analysis that said No Deal would damage the economy in the long term, 2-3 times worse than Covid...
