Sorry Baggs I thought people would remember this incident of his his penchant for controversial statements unlinked to brain engagement about the impact, there are plenty of other examples too.
Here’s the story I was referring to.

In the interests of fairness, you understand.

Baggs Thu 21-Oct-21 18:25:04

Context, please, casdon. That link is contextless. You need to quote what he wrapped that 'gem' up in.

Casdon Thu 21-Oct-21 18:15:44

Whoops he did it again.

He didn't say anything about 'need' in what I heard, FC, only that Tories don't, while also making the point that socialists don't either when they aren't going to be on parliamentary TV, a political point of whose truth we don't know but he might well.

I am speechless.

Can someone please link to what shite he came out with today.

According to him the Tories don’t need to wear masks because ‘they all know each other’, and they are ‘fraternal and convivial’.

My extremely vulnerable DH is almost having a breakdown (no exaggeration) because of how things are panning out.

We can’t access the health services that we desperately need because we need to isolate due to the government’s idiocy.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in similar circumstances.

You are speechless Fanny? That makes a change. ?

Well, perhaps if they all die off, we may get a sensible government.

Appalling comment. I’ve reported it as well.

I have reported your post MrsPickle under the circumstances of the last 8 days, it’s inappropriate, unnecessary and totally without any shame…

Well one died of cancer last week, well before his time and another was murdered at his surgery. Both of them thoroughly decent men by all accounts.

Your post was uncalled for.

Not worth getting in a froth about. Most of us are seeing family and friends without mask wearing, and for that matter colleagues too.
Of course Fanny maybe you are still meeting friends with your mask on, I have no idea.
It’s up to all of us to make our own decisions on how to live our lives, being fully vaccinated, if you have no severe health problems, then life can go on ( if we want it to).
We can do the opposite if we need to/ want to and stay at home, not meet anyone or do anything.

I heard what he said and TBH words fail me. This is the level of intelligence that you need to be an MP???

It’s utterly horrendous isn’t it

FannyCornforth Thu 21-Oct-21 17:35:27

Thank you Scones
(Does your name rhyme with ‘bones’ or ‘dons’? I need to say it the correct way in my head, thank you)

FannyCornforth Thu 21-Oct-21 17:32:22

Yes! Why waste time! Let’s get it over and done with!
I always knew that JRM wasn’t the brightest, but what he’s come out with today… sad
And it’s not beyond the realms if possibility that he could be our PM sad
