Does anyone still watch the Downing Street propaganda briefing?
They have
turned from being a source of important information into mindless
reassurances that all is well and how brilliantly we're doing.

On the other hand, this is what Andrew Neil has been observing.

** BBC broadcaster Andrew Neil has described the coronavirus press
** conference as "dire", hitting out at Gavin Williamson's "amateur"
** attempt at leading the briefing.* He urged ministers to relay
facts and
** give straightforward answers, rather than dodge important questions.

** Yesterday the journalist launched a separate attack on the Downing
** Street briefing, likening the talks to speeches at the annual Tory
** conference.

** Mr Neil took to Twitter again this afternoon, to criticise the
** Government for yet another poor performance.* ...* "Ministers
that most
** folks have never heard of should stop their amateur-hour father
of the
** nation acts".

** "No more annoying exhortations for us to buckle down further.* You
** don't have the authority or respect for any if this.* Just give
us the
** facts.* And give straight answers to straight questions"


Being confined to barracks is really getting to you.

Why don't you use the time productively?

Go for a long walk (or cycle , run etc),* do some gardening, reading,
take
up a hobby, learn a new skill, ....

I don't think the NHS volunteer scheme is accepting further
volunteers but
there may be other local schemes which deliver food parcels etc you
could
volunteer for.

Of course you won't heed this advice. Whinging, lazy under achievers,
are
inherently lazy and never do anything useful. They expect others to
support
them.


just what have you got against the scottish ? .....


They almost all vote for their equivalent of Labour.

He hates anything even vaguely labour like.

he does...scotland used to be all labour but now the wee bint and the
snp rule....
