Yesterday in Boris World - NHS nurse who cared for PM resigns, Dominic Cummings attacks (again) and Tory Council Leader revolts.

And telling me that our company is suffering because we didn't get our finger out is polite?
Before you cast stones, find out the facts.

^Perhaps those businesses should have got their fingers out and sorted the paperwork, many others did, as I’m still getting, not through choice, strawberries from Holland.^

Perhaps you can point us in the direction of the rules regarding IP based businesses dealing with Canada? Because they all got suspended on 1st January and haven't been sorted out yet. I find the allegation that businesses just "haven't got their fingers out" ill informed and insulting. It's not all about bl**dy strawberries.

IP ownership for organisations based in the UK with security implications?

Personal Tax agreements?

Getting our clients to change their contracts to suit us?

I suppose we could transition into exporting cheese, that seems to be covered.

Keep trying.

She did buy leather trousers but that’s about as scandalous as I can remember.
She ran through a cornfield.

If you were the PM and got struck down with covid and nursed for two days in intensive care, got better recovered. Wouldnt you make sure nurses got a decent pay rise, a thank you for all their hard work in coping magnificently with this pandemic (especially without proper PPE)?

It makes you wonder what sort of person he is, the PM whos life was saved wouldn't give nurses the pay rise they deserve and is considerably long overdue

I agree with you Grany!

Don't faint, please

Well perhaps some people are impressed by us sending some sort of aircraft carrier round the world?

Have we still got an aircraft carrier, Maybee?
Has it got any aircraft?

I am impressed by the crew, however.

It seems to me that the nearer a person has ever got to Boris Johnson, the more likely they are to see through him.

He is a habitual liar, amoral, sexually incontinent, devoid of any principles or decent values. A thoroughly despicable human being.

It is utterly shameful, and a stain on the United Kingdom that he could ever have become our Prime MInister.

Maybee and MaizieD I think you are showing your true colours with your posts above.

No lemon. I think that people show their true colours when they vote tory.. And they're generally not very nice colours...

Have we still got an aircraft carrier, Maybee?

We have

Has it got any aircraft?

I understood that the French were supplying them...

In other words, no, I don't think it has...

Has it got any aircraft?

HMS Queen Elizabeth will first sail into the Mediterranean. From there, she is planning to launch her F-35 jets to conduct airstrikes over Iraq against the group known as Islamic State.

Yes, she has.

But what does he think he is doing?
This:

The strike group will sail through the South China Sea where China has been expanding its claim to territorial waters.
But Defence Secretary Ben Wallace insists Britain is not looking for a "confrontation". Instead, he says the carrier group will exercise its right to freedom of navigation.

Fair enough. Freedom of navigation is vitally important.

Hmm. Sounds confrontational to me ..

MaizieD millions of people vote Conservative, and many more did so at the last election to keep you know who out of. Number Ten. These millions of people are awful people in your eyes, and for that, I feel sorry for you.You are so blinded by politics that you feel it’s not only impossible to like ‘a Tory voter’ but that they are ( in your words, above) ‘either blind or insane or just horrible’. This is the sort of comment that I would expect from a teenager or young adult , not a mature woman.I have friends and relatives who vote for both major political parties, and some minority ones, and none of them thinks like that ( thank goodness.)
It’s a sort of narrow tunnel vision with no leeway for human kindness or understanding in it, we are all different and have different views, in politics as well as any other subject.
You think your way is the right way, I think my way is the right way, but I would never, ever consider somebody to be ‘blind, insane or just horrible’ for taking the other view.

Tell that to the Chinese!

Boris living out his Churchillian fantasies imo

Oh dear. So rude.

Well to be fair your comment about businesses not having got their finger out was rude in the first place, especially to anyone currently struggling to keep their livelihood.

You may be relieved to know, then, that she won't be alone:

“Over the coming 28 weeks, from May to December 2021, we will see our carrier strike group travel over 26,000 nautical miles from the Mediterranean to the Red sea, from the Gulf of Aden to the Arabian sea and from the Indian ocean to the Philippine sea. Besides the full integration of units from the UK, US and the Netherlands, the carrier strike group will operate with air and maritime forces from a wide number of international partners including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Turkey, Israel, India, Oman and the Republic of Korea.

Well, I’m relieved to hear that. But I don’t think Johnson made that clear when he had his dressing up in front of an aircraft photo shoot the other day.

It's to ensure trade routes are kept open I think, Maybee.

I missed seeing that, what a shame.
