Leaving the EU nothing to do with Brexit.

Brexit and the pandemic were, and are, two separate events. Trying desperately to link them or blame Johnson for his handling of the pandemic on Brexit is risible.
And never forget that Johnson only got his pass into Downing Street because our glorious parliament refused point blank to accept the referendum result, choosing instead to simply block every attempt to enact it. Three years of political logjam could not fail to have a huge impact on the country.
Erā¦ Sorry, but I have not ādesperately tried to link themā ā¦ please read again. I have merely stated that brexit voters who have supported Boris for getting āitā done, have as a result created an environment in which the Tories could do as they pleaseā¦ voters who put Boris in power, turned a blind eye the the bumbling cheeky chap and his corrupt practices during the pandemicā¦ quite different from what you are suggesting.
As for now blaming the political logjamā¦ something which was inevitable given that the house had a majority of remainers and that we were all told the ref was non-bindingā¦ for the current meltdowns, is clutching at several straws. Our recovery post pandemic is worse than other major economies within the EU and being ācloserā to the US given their own financial issues, is not something that is particularly comfortingā¦

Unfortunately the common denominator in both is Johnson - he fucked the country through Brexit and was frankly an arse over Covid.
Obviously I would say that because I didnāt vote for Unicorns and Sunlit uplands and think his management of Covid/his personal behaviour and allowing blatant fraud with PPE on his watch deserves to have him run out of politics for good.

It was made crystal clear through the entire referendum process that the result would be respected and acted on.
And to suggest that the three-year logjam ought to have been taken into account prior to campaigning is ridiculous. The voters had a right to expect the result to be implemented, not fought against tooth and nail by their so-called representatives.
As for transparency of campaigning, Remain were notably silent on the effects of a Remain vote. It would certainly have meant fully joining the EU with all that entails, including membership of the Eurozone. Had that been referred to during the campaign the result margin in favour of Leave would have been far wider.
And as Iāve repeatedly said, it should never have been allowed to get to the point where he was the only realistic option left. He shouldnāt have been there at all.

US banker paid Ā£73m dividend in 2021 after firm won millions in UK Covid contracts | Pharmaceuticals industry | The Guardian
All right for some!
We really are being treated as mugs by the corrupt fuckers masquerading as a government for the past few years. I hope a decent investigative journalist is doing some digging into the possible relationship between the recipients of countless millions of public money and the millions being handed out to Johnson on his world tour giving 30 minute speeches to obscure organizations. His latest gig in Vegas sees him receiving a cool quarter of a mil for 30 minutes of off the cuff ramblings to an audience of āBusinessmenā. Yeah right, as if! He has trouble stringing a coherent sentence together. This is money laundering, pure and simple, he is being weighed in for services rendered. No wonder he can splash out on Ā£4 million mansions in Oxfordshire!
Working people are barred from receiving legal aid if they earn more than Ā£12,250 a year. Yet Johnson has sacked his government appointed legal team which has already cost the taxpayer north of Ā£250,000, as sanctioned by Sunak, and will now appoint his own legal team, which will probably be made up of old school chums and contacts, charging top dollar, with the bill picked up by us, again all sanctioned by Sunak the spineless. Sunak is forcing the British public to foot the bill because he maintains that there is a long established precedent that former ministers are supported by legal representation after they have left office in matters that relate to their time in office, which only makes sense if the minister concerned was acting on behalf of the British people in the normal course of their duties. Such precedents should clearly not apply where the person concerned is accused of illegal behaviour totally unconnected with their position in government.
Or is Sunak claiming that the illegal parties in Downing St,( and probably in Chequers), had to take place, and that Johnson was obliged to attend them solely as the result of being the UKās Prime Minister at the time? Ridiculous!
Sunak is just a pound shop version of Johnson, a compulsive liar as evidenced weekly at PMQs, nothing he ever says contains anything of substance. Weak and spineless as evidenced by his allowing Braverman and her backers to walk all over him. This country deserves far better than the corrupt cabal currently running the show.

I thought youād be, there had to be someone.
Bloody hell!
If any of this is true, the people that run our country are a bunch of lying cunts, and base all their actions on Orwellian theory.
Sadly, we know that they, the people that run our country, are in fact and without any doubt a bunch of lying cunts.

Wow. Nothing the government does surprises me these days
Luckily @sotonians remains a bastion of free speech where we donāt have childish āhe said, she saidā debates and the arguments are balanced and not childish at all.
Is he rightā¦is this as significant as he impliesā¦is there a conspiracy of silence???
Its not really a coverup though, this data is available - Check out www.euromomo.eu which shows that we have had excess deaths above average from 2018, 2019 onwards (before COVID) with the big COVID spike in 2020 and 2021. As for no research into this I suspect there is, but as yet no conclusions or publication
I would ask Dr Campbell why he did not speak up about excess deaths in 2018 or 2019 - he started out being well balance but now seems to enjoy the spotlight quite a bitā¦
Amongst the medical community I speak to, there is a concern that COVID has left us a little more vulnerable to the virus itself, but other viruses and infections as well as weakened our resistance to respiratory problems which have always been an issue with older and more vulnerable patients
