I'm not sure calling people "wallys" is a valid argument against personal insults. :lol:

Is there really any point in inventing a random statement, bearing no relation to what people have said, just so you can be sarcastic about it?

I dare say. But in this particular instance, this court ruling clears him of favourtism and bias. You're right there is a normal procedure for acquiring PPE, and it doesn't involve the Minister. There is (or was) a semi-autonomous body called Public Health England that has that job, and it...

The point is that a lot of things were done in the pandemic that should not be done in normal times. If it is the Runnymede Society's belief that, in principle, it was wrong for the government to ignore normal procedures in taking their emergency action, then there are plenty of more serious...

Why is there all this angst about the government's failure to follow procedures about appointing a few people? There are far, far worse breaches of the law to consider. For crying out loud, they closed the schools without even going through parliament. They closed shops and offices, they made...

We've only got half a tale. Perhaps what should have happened was for the government to announce "this is a desperate emergency and we need to take action immediately, so we have started the process of appointing people to see us through the crisis and we hope to have an appointment within 6...

Just for clarification, are they saying that the job could have been filled just as quickly and the equality rules still have been applied, or are they saying that it would have been better to delay the emergency appointments until the equality rules had all been followed? It's just that it...

Why would you think that him previously owning a pub is relevant but his actually owning a plastics business is not? I still don't know what the issue is here, because no-one else seems to be interested. Is the issue that this man supplied inadequate or unsuitable or overpriced goods that...

For the record, what exactly are you objecting to in this contract? Are you saying that the test tubes were substandard? Or are you saying that they were overpriced? Or are you saying that the normal 2-month tender period was skipped? Or are you saying that it would be better not to have...
