Johnny Mercer
"Is that we have specific commitments to our veterans for the first time in the manifesto"

I would quibble with this

See

Promises made prior to the 2010 election

And

Promises made in the 2010 manifesto
So first off for the manifesto

issuu.com/conservatives/…
Specific areas:
See also: David Cameron promising to "restore cuts" made to the Army

telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/15…
Channel 4 covered these promises in detail

channel4.com/news/media/201…
I could give a thread on defence cuts over the years under Tory rule

And the effect of brexit on defence

Also Johnny Mercer

"if we don't follow through on that with a veteran community in this country who feels pretty neglected after a number of years that is almost worse than not promising something in the first place and just ignoring it and hoping the whole thing goes away"
Let me introduce Johnny to the area of policing

Where policy promises were made prior to 2010

And well....

So talking about trust

When you elect a fool like David Cameron

A racist like Theresa May

and an amoral cheating lying racist nativist incompetent idiot like Boris

Really is fucking rich

Does a country have the democractic right to choose to have a referendum?

Yes or No

It's a simple question.

I transcribed Douglas' interview below
If you have answered No.

Why?

“I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.”

[thread] I have been blocked by @JamesMelville

He was complaining that “they” the media are “conveniently ignoring” the waste damage caused by a world using PPE masks

After I pointed out what BS this was I got blocked and he put up a reworded tweet

Here is a simple 3 word search which brings back many news organisations and scientific journals on the crisis of PPE waste

A quick scan of just the first page - shows this goes back to May 2020
