QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Mar 3 2020, 09:31 PM) Bit of profiteering going on as well...face masks and gels have spiralled in price...what I don't get is this...if some of the let's call them criminal element get it (mildly) in city centres and they decide to start looting etc...who is going to stop them? We ain't China and I can just imagine the hissy fit the left would throw if they took punitive action (see China)... Anarchy! Complete breakdown of society with the country being run by the military followed quickly by civil war and ultimate demise of the human race. Or, Boris can come up with a plan and everything in the garden will be roses. One of these is scenarios is a banker as they say.

#justsaying It's the elderly that are most at risk so should be a rebalance of politics.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Mar 5 2020, 03:53 PM) Good oh, still by the time your lot gets in you'll be in the blue rinse brigade. I wouldn't count your chickens on that. Keir Starmer is actually fairly electable so if they chose him rather than one of the other two then they might actually have a slim chance of being elected in 2024.

Maybe,just maybe, those who traditionally vote Tory and possibly have a better standard of living tend to live longer than those who struggle and would probably support labour. It's by no means an exact science but it would be interesting to know if anyone has done research. Now I suppose the left will accuse me of all sorts of heinous thinking and demand a public inquiry, but it's a thought.

Corbyn had a cult following remember? Centre stage at Glasto, "Oh Jeremy Corbyn", "we're gonna change British politics forever", We're ready to govern, just hand us the keys", remember all that? Worst showing in three generations.
