And yet, there's a whole thread of people who will still vote conservative.

Exactly. Lucky them that they can still vote, many can’t.

It is horrible to know that this is the way our Prime Minister and his Government thought about people our age. As if we are disposable as long as the economy doesn't suffer. As if we have nothing to add to society or indeed the economy.

Just think of all the people our age who staunchly defended him on GNet hmm

Are any still willing to do so?

Link to the covid inquiry:

All past witness sessions are available, either as videos or transcripts.

The shocking thing is that a great deal of what is being divulged has been known about for a very long time, including Johnson's complete unfitness to be PM and inability to lead the UK through a crisis.

Ilovecheese, my thoughts exactly.

Although I agree the bad language is deplorable, it pales into insignificance in the light of the despicable behaviour of those supposedly steering our country.

The KC questioning Boris is outstanding.

I am reminded vividly of the ‘Thick of It’ where there is a government enquiry. I’ve just finished watching the whole series again. The real enquiry has more bad language.

I hope Johnson supporters on here are listening to what Cummings is saying about him!

Never heard such bad language in a political news report before!

Culling old people 😮😮😮

Doesn’t Cummings understand, given that he’s slating everybody in government and the civil service, that he was the main advisor to the most powerful man in the country at the time. He really can talk the talk can’t he. It is riveting though.

I too am horrified and also angry at what I am hearing.
DH has been glued to it for two days.

I’ve just realised there’s live coverage on the BBC News channel. Dominic Cummings currently being questioned

I've been dipping into this periodically. I'm horrified by the statements as reported in main stream media.
