Was watching a Joe Rogan podcast this week that featured a pairing from a left right show, that is to say, a presenter on the left and a presenter on the right.

They say they get on because they are both honest enough to point out when their own team is fucking up.

As my recent posting history shows, I’m not a fan of Keir Starmer or any of the shithouses in his shadow cabinet that did so much damage. They’ve spent the past five years saying and doing the most spiteful things, often out loud.

There is also the present reality I have to accept. The Tories are in charge, nothing is moving them soon and for the sake of the country, I want them do do well in this crisis.

They have, by any reasonable standard, done appallingly, late to every decision, set entirely the wrong priorities. At best, the government can be described as taking the right action at the wrong times. At worst, I think it has been directly responsible for a higher death toll and infection rate than could have been expected.

This is a circus of fucking incompetents paraded about to disguise the fact that Dominic Cummings is running the country, and he’s not even on their team.

Notable today how the fail kept reiterating that Quarantine was devised planned and pushed through by Cummings not the Cabinet.

Do you ever get the idea that Cummings may have upset an editor or two somewhere in the past?

Look, I know I’m a relative whippersnapper to all the sage individuals on this forum, but this Government has got to be the most incompetent group of wastrels and scoundrels that we’ve ever seen.

The bare faced fucking cheek is clear to see. We know the 'get out clause will be - ‘blame it on the scientists’… cunts,… and there was me thinking ‘we had had enough of experts’…

I don’t think they’re getting away with it. They probably thought they were smart to boycott Piers Morgan and ITV. I think all they achieved was to put blood in the nostrils of other reporters.

This is Kay Burley, FFS. You’ve also got the Mail lambasting the government on a daily basis.

Yet the myopic right would have you all believe everyone involved is a fucking Labour activist.

Part of the issue is that the Corona Virus is the only game in town for the reporters to get stuck into. Literally nothing else has happened for three months, so the entire press corp has been focussing on Covid

There has been nowhere to hide and everything is under minute scrutiny because every journo wants to break a story

That does not take away from the fact that this lot seem to want to score own goals so are providing ammo left right and centre

Coronavirus is dead! Long live economic destruction!

I feel a bit for the BA Crew fighting to protect their ling fought for rights, but fact is the world is fvcked.

I feel sorry for the short haul and mixed fleet BA cabin crew out of Gatwick. The worldwide lot out of Heathrow - less so.

Not sure the world is ‘fucked’ - the ‘economy is built on promises and confidence anyway and the bankers are resiliant fuckers who will find a way to create virtual wealth out of a turd covered in piss and cum if push comes to shove… what we will have a is period of rapid adjustment as the focus changes… as it did post industrial revolution and then ultimately post manufacturing in UK… feeling sorry for cabin crew? Did folks feel sorry for minors or steel workers or car builders? This is big change for sure, but the developed economy will recover to keep ‘the rich in their place and the impoverished also’

I think business travel sector will not go back to what it was before, so expect price increases without heavy Business class fares…

Most of the issue is vacant fucking Tories being promoted way above their abilities just before a time of global crisis.

Helen Whately is the personification of your team fucking up all the time.

It’s like playing Ali Dia for more than one game.

I don’t disagree

The political class has been rather vacuous for years.
