Taking their phones off them

I think it’s about time a team from GN took over running the country.
It beggars belief that this is considered necessary. But it probably is.
Will they be sent to bed without any supper if they are naughty.

Sadly I think this is not just a “Tory thing” (but why miss an opportunity to knock, eh Grandad?) but symptomatic of much of our society.
Like the audience members at “Titanic the Musical” recently who followed England’s penalty shoot out on their mobiles and cheered each successful shot at goal.

It’s the having to take the phones away that says so much - unlike the cabinet,I work with grown ups, often in highly sensitive, absolutely confidential situations. We simply turn our phones off so we are not interrupted - no one would dream that we would secretly record or be tweeting or texting what was happening as we went along. But as I said, we are grown ups who actually take our work seriously and don’t put our own personal self interest first, unlike the vast majority of the cabinet.

This demonstrates just how low this Tory government has sunk when the most senior members of it have their phones removed from them prior to a meeting for fear of those phones owners using them to undermine other meeting members.

In the meantime, Jacob Rees Mogg (the Minister for the 18th-century) and his friends in the Bow group informs all those attending the meeting what they can and cannot agree to under threat that they will bring down the whole government.

What a complete and utter shambles in the truest sense of the words.

Why do people need phones on every minute of the day? If you're at work, you switch your phone off. In the HoC, if something really urgent came up that a Minister had to respond to, couldn't a note, you know, written on paper, be passed down so the Minister could decide whether to respond immediately, or let it wait till recess.
It's one of my pet hates, don't accept children should have mobiles with them in class. Don't agree with teachers who say mobiles can be useful to research a subject in class.
I feel certain things wouldn't grind to a halt if people switched off their phones to concentrate on whatever they're doing at one time.

Wise precaution really with the bunch of leaky, backstabbing, self serving, lying and utterly comtemptible politicians she chose to surround herself with.

What's the betting they all smuggle another phone in with them?

When you watch clips from the Commons, MPs are regularly seen to be on their phones, and don’t tell me that’s urgent constituency business! More likely to be FaceBook, Twitter or Candy Crush Saga.
Like kids in a classroom, so taking their phones off the Cabinet sounds like excellent sense.

I wonder if that is a security precaution with so many devices able to be switched on remotely.

It’s =its- if I don’t correct it someone else will come along to do it
