@Andrew_Adonis Regrettably, essential truck drivers needed for transport of food and supplies to UK have heeded the message of hate and rejection, not to mention the endless Brexit red-tape!

Who can blame them?!?

I can't help wondering what #LiarJohnson and UK Government can be thinking!?!
@Andrew_Adonis Jus' wait 'ere a cotton pickin' minute!
@Andrew_Adonis If there aint no food supplies bein' delivered...does this mean there's no food for pickin' and packin'...or does it mean there are no pickers doin' the pickin' and no packers doin' the packin'...
@Andrew_Adonis ...but if there are pickers and packers and they're pickin' and packin' then why are there no drivers deliverin' food supplies to UK...assumin' drivers are drivin', the drivers must surely be deliverin' food supplies for pickin' and packin' by hungry customers?!?
@Andrew_Adonis Wot?!? We don't even get crumbs!

@Andrew_Adonis Just when you think things couldn't be worse - they get much worse - we just don't see it yet!

Quick! Grab that umbrella! ☔️

US context, but don't think what happens in US couldn't happen in UK - IT ALREADY IS!

@Andrew_Adonis And there's much worse coming our way - we see it in UK, as #ToxicTories☠️ cronyism - under guise of COVID-19, Brexit, Climate Change and whatever other crisis can be construed as an economic crisis for 'the people'!

@Andrew_Adonis "Over the past quarter century, we have lived through the greatest looting of wealth in human history. While billions of dollars streamed into pockets of a few elites in the corporate and economic class, the vast majority of citizens have lived through a period of falling wages,"
@Andrew_Adonis "...disappearing pensions, and dwindling bank accounts—all of which lead to the personal debt crisis that lies at the root of the current financial meltdown."
@Andrew_Adonis "This "audacity of greed" was legally blessed by the ethos of the "free market," a phony marketing phrase that covered up the fleecing of the American public."
@Andrew_Adonis "In The Audacity of Greed, Jonathan Tasini examines the reasons and exposes the people responsible for the looting of America—from Wall Street executives who funded their lavish lifestyles at the public’s expense to the politicians who let it happen—"
@Andrew_Adonis "-- arguing that we need a cultural and philosophical revolution that punctures the fable of market fundamentalism and, by doing so, values the contributions made by ordinary Americans throughout the economy."

However, #ToxicTories☠️ might try to spin the financial gains by ministers and ex-ministers, the outcomes are derived from the political choices of Tory UK Governments!

"Boris Johnson’s government has hiked spending on Union flags to more than £163,000 in two years as part of its drive to boost pride in the national symbol."

'tis but a piece of cloth!

Each LIE from #LiarJohnson & cabal in UK Government diminishes UK - a blot on the landscape! Image

"The latest figures show spending has increased in virtually every Whitehall department since Mr Johnson became prime minister two years ago."

UK taxpayers' money to BURN! 🔥🔥🔥 Image

A day in politics can be very loooooooooooong!

It is now 'CRYSTAL CLEAR' why #May appeared to overuse this phrase when speaking - it was to check NOT the IQ but the EQ of the audience!

One assumes all parties present are adults since this is a pre-requisite to be a politician!
"Angry… but it’s a strange situation where the First Minister is effectively arguing that reporters and politicians are stupid for taking what she says at face value, and even more stupid if they ask for clarification later."

Seems 'crystal clear' to me!!
All would be 'crystal clear' if audience really listened and asked pertinent questions on content of conferences when given chance to do so, instead of playing infantile party politics or chasing tomorrow's headlines!

LIFE is deadly serious NOT a continuous political campaign!

"It is not so much a plan as a pretence, where the (UK) government is abdicating responsibility for protecting its high-risk citizens by “advising” them to remove themselves from everyday life."

State discrimination against "high-risk citizens"?!?

"Levelling up"!!! 🤣🤣🤣
"The impact is already clear enough: research by the charity Scope ahead of the rule changes found only 2% of disabled people said they felt safe."
"Ministers have essentially invented unofficial shielding, asking millions of people to isolate themselves, but to do so this time without even minimal support from the state. There are now no concrete or consistent protections at work for clinically vulnerable employees."

"Johnson’s rank unfitness for office is evident in his lack of a domestic policy agenda: his “levelling up” speech last week was devoid of substance on how his government might seek to reverse the impact of a decade of spending cuts on the least affluent parts of the country,..."
"...together with the unequal impact Brexit is forecast to have in the coming years. It is evident in the way Brexit has played out so far: the ideological drive for a hard Brexit with no consideration of the consequences for the stability of Northern Ireland ..."
"...or the damage done by threatening close allies with breaking international law. It is evident in the way the government tries to stoke divisive culture wars over whether footballers should take a stand against racism in order to distract from its own incompetence."
