Keith Hann, Director of Corp. Affairs at Iceland, is surely a man of note? He makes the great sacrifice of travelling from England to Wales every day, and never loses a chance to belittle Wales, its people and language. People have been knighted for far less heroism.
@PerchardSarah@piersmorgan@Helen_Whately@BorisJohnson@MattHancock Whilst I empathise with the sentiment, don’t overplay the “heroes of ww2” thing, as the maths doesn’t stack up. The youngest you could physically be now to have served in ww2 is 94, and the generation that did what you describe are mostly not in care homes but are already dead.
Here’s a useful overview of the likely scenarios that the world will be facing in the coming months while managing this pandemic. So much depends on our ability to make good decisions going forward along with our ability to remain resilient. https://t.co/uYpP1KfOUs
Trouble is Brian, most hospitality insurance policies don’t even cover claims for loss of trade, even if it’s the Government’s decision. Got 7 venues, none covered for this.
So no lockdown, no shutting of pubs, restaurants - still only recommending people don't use them. This leaves owners unable to make insurance claims.
Why the reluctance to make the definitive decision on this and help businesses?
Whilst reading the prepared statemens, BJ seemed cogent and intelligent. When left to his own devices, answering questions, he reverted to the bumbling idiot we know so well
Can’t fault that press conference. They may be getting it wrong but their explanations were clear & compelling. It’s a shame we’re reduced to trusting a PM whose entire life has been spent lying & bluffing but Whitty & Vallance seem to be an effective antidote...
I loved him the moment I saw him on stage at the Edinburgh Festival in 1963. So many laughs,moments of total hilarity onstage and off we have all shared with him. It’s too sad if you knew him,but if you didn’t you will always smile at the many wonderfully funny moments he gave us
He says because his name is Kelly he’s obviously from Ireland, and is therefore an Anglo Saxon??? The level of ignorance about ethnicity, including his own, is staggering, but apparently it doesn’t impede him from braying about to everybody else.
A white GOP congressman said he isn't offended by President Trump's racist attacks on 4 Democratic congresswomen of color because he's "a person of color."
"You know, they talk about people of color. I'm a person of color. I'm white. I'm an Anglo Saxon." https://t.co/TRPKoNeUi9
Maybe if you got off the fence and committed more fully to some of these key issues such that ordinary people had a clearer idea of what you were prepared to actually do, rather than just espouse this aspirational rhetoric then maybe you’d have a fighting chance of winning a GE?
Sitting at an outdoor cafe in Cologne, and an actual clown in full costume has taken a seat at my table to have a pint. And shout clown stuff in German at passers-by.
