[thread] on a very very special focus group

Two quotes though before we start
"My Britain is one where the rule of law is upheld, impartially even against the most powerful bodies in our community and where those entrusted with upholding the law, whether policemen or judges, are given respect, support and encouragement. "
“We are still waiting for an explanation...public have made extraordinary sacrifices during this pandemic and the lockdown. It cannot be one rule for those who set them and another for the British people....the country deserves answers.”
The first: Margaret Thatcher

The second: UK Labour Party 23/5/2020
The focus group results I will come to next

But there was 1 stand out focus group member

Sir Robert Syms MP with his endorsement - retweet - of a very colourful message

twitter.com/RobertSyms
I suppose it's apt to a man who fucks so many things - that it should be reflected back at him

Anyway I would recommend this headline summary from

@BlackIslePMD

I decided to take that one step further using this as the starting point

Oh just as an aside here's some "guidance"

So out of MPs list of 320 Conservative MP social media accounts

13 the accounts didn't exist for so we will focus on the remaining 307
Just to see how well they followed the "instruction" or was it "guidance" to circle the wagons

on the topic of breaking the law:

260 these did not have a view
1 said its ok lots of people break the law
2 said the law wasn't broken
1 said it was fake news
2 said it was politicising a topic
41 said breaking the law was justified by a parent caring for a child
A further breakdown
Now to those who did not respond

They are a fascinating audience

Because many of them were active on social media on 23/5/2020 either

attacking Keir Starmer's brexit policy
quoting the daily briefing press releases
or tweeting about ramadan
Anyway

It will be fascinating to see how Sunday's results from the focus group go as the shifting sands beneath the Dominic Cummings story move
