Good point HWt .. Starmer currently attacking Boris for cancelling Christmas a policy he called for a few days earlier ..

Millions will be heartbroken by change of plans - Labour leader

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says "millions of families will be heartbroken by having Christmas plans ripped up", after this evening's announcement by the prime minister.


... what a hypocritical

i understood that starmer thought that bungle**** should have acted like a leader and cancelled xmas a while ago so as people had not made plans. obviously this would necessitate making a decision and leadership so we get the three day u turn, and more chaos

 

[Bombadier Botty]

That is what I am doing.

No way will I be spending Christmas alone.

It's a state of mind, we spend our lives focused on what we think causes us pain, 'think' the operative word. Just change your mindset on Christmas, plus only church attending Christians who believe in the birth of Jesus of Nazareth should be visiting any other household in the coming weeks to break bread and eat turkey in celebration. The other 96% of us should stay home.

Eugghh politics, Brexit, insults, here we go...
Amazing how a thread meant to be informative about a Covid press conference can be headed to the Bear Pit.....

Tedious.

Brexit is going well, too isn't it.

Ever wonder if you've been a mug?

tricky to query any of that

Stand by for whataboutery from the football 'genius'.

This is not his point though is it? His point is that Boris laid down the Christmas rules, people made their plans accordingly, and a couple of days later they now have to cancel them. Had the lockdown decision been made earlier, following what Startmer, medical journals and other countries were doing, people wouldn’t now have to cancel made plans. But you probably know this dont you?

I have mixed feeling towards the British public though. Every single thing Boris does follows the same process: a delayed response, the wrong decision and then follow what other countries did a few weeks ago. You should by now think twice before acting on any info Boris provides you with. Unless you are a mate with a hastily registered new company offering services you have no experience of, of course.

Don't waste your breath. You're replying to someone would vote for Jummy Savile if he was wearing a blue rosette.

Weak response on so many levels

GARDEN!? you're lucky to have a garden; we've only got a bin on a two foot square bit of astroturf and a mug tree. GARDEN!!!

How odd. Normally there is so much empathy for people who spend Christmas alone.

Now we have people who live with others who wont be spending the period alone telling those that though live alone to suck it up.

The point is the Government are enacting policies the opposition thought might be a good idea and might well be inevitable a few days later but they are now criticising the government for doing the what they called for a few days earlier.

I get that you’re trying to be supportive but you don’t get to tell people, even those of us who aren’t Christian, what Christmas ‘means’. For most, it’s a time for family, love and all that good stuff. After a very shit, isolating year that has had a huge negative impact on the mental well-being of many, it’s only natural that this news has gone down like a lead balloon.

No it isn't

You are either a liar or a fool.

i think you've misunderstood all of this

They’re criticising the constant U turns. But, of course, you know that but why let that get in the way of attacking the opposition, right?

 

[beorhthelm]

coming in late, are all those calling for tighter lockdown pleased and supporting the change of policy, or complaining about it?

You haven't got a garden and unfortunately I couldn't get to the shops to buy you anything.
Never mind

A few days ago Boris mocked him for wanting to 'cancel Christmas'. the utter

Boris is the PM with all the government facts. Starmer, you need to realise, is not the PM.

That will, thankfully, all change but sadly not until we have suffered another 4 years of this shit show.

Totally deluded if you think Stammer would do a better job.

i think the thing that sticks in the craw is the unnecessary chaos generated by the government
