He's physically & emotionally incapable of not smirking while lying through his teeth.

Is it a psychological disorder?

He thinks it's all just a jolly game - & he's been getting away with it all his life.

150,000 people are dead.

Boris Johnson: "All I can tell you is that all the guidelines were observed."

They're all as bad as each other - they'll say absolutely *anything* to *anyone*.

For this cabal of corrupt antidemocratic liars, the ends *ALWAYS* justify the means - even if it costs £BILLIONS & 170,000 lives.

I was struck by this sentence, written by Andrew Neil, calling for penalties for the unvaccinated:

"I'm not impressed by those who claim this is an egregious assault on our freedoms. Liberty is not the same as unbridled licence to do what you want, which is the road to anarchy."
Functional democracies have to find the right balance between on one hand, maximum freedom for individuals, & on the other, sensible measures to protect decent people from those who would cheat, lie, exploit, manipulate or use violence or intimidation to satisfy their desires. Image
Over recent decades, the Right has lurched toward 'free-market libertarianism', of the kind that reduces the influence of the state on economic matters, yet increases the repressive power of the state by abandoning rules, rights & regulations designed to protect citizens.

I'm often VERY critical of right-winger Andrew Neil.

Agree or not with so-called 'vaccine passports', this article is measured & rational - but the Mail changed the word 'penalise' to 'punish' imho simply to drive clicks & outrage.

Antivaxxers are now inevitably attacking Neil. Image
Agree or not, here's a brief summary of points made by Neil:

Vaccine passports became mandatory in France in August for cinemas, museums, restaurants, theatres, bars, nightclubs, planes & long-distance trains.

At first there was some pushback, now it's just part of the routine.
It's not foolproof. Nothing is. People who have been vaccinated can still contract & pass on the virus.

Vaccination substantially reduces the risk of serious illness & hospitalisation

The more people who are vaccinated the better the chance we all have of beating this virus.

This is absolutely catastrophic for Britain.

Gisella Stuart has about as much 'commitment to impartiality' as the law-breaking Vote Leave campaign did when she was Chair.
In October 2004, she became the only @UKLabour MP who openly supported the re-election of dimwit warmonger George W. Bush, arguing "you know where you stand with George and, in today's world, that's much better than rudderless leaders who drift with the prevailing wind".
She wrote that a victory for Democratic Party challenger, John Kerry, would prompt "victory celebrations among those who want to destroy liberal democracies. More terrorists and suicide bombers would step forward to become martyrs in their quest to destroy the West". Image

Un-policed & often unenforceable anti-corruption laws have made the UK the global money-laundering capital for a post-Soviet elite, severely damaging Britain’s international reputation & the rule of law.

Almost a quarter of the ministers who attend cabinet have accepted donations from just three well-connected ex-Russians.

Ministers whose offices or constituencies benefited include Dominic Raab, Rishi Sunak & 5 others who attend Cabinet.

House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has promised to raise allegations of drug use in Parliament with the Met Police, after traces of cocaine had been found in several lavatory areas.

These corrupt hypocrites want locking up.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
The Government estimates that last year there were around 300,000 opiate or crack users in England, & around one million people using cocaine per year.

The latest ONS figures for England suggest that one in 11 adults aged 16 to 59 years took a drug in the year to March 2020.

Did you know that on December 5th 1921, the English Football Association (FA) passed a resolution BANNING women's football matches from being played in their stadiums?

I didn't! 🤯⚽️

forbes.com/sites/asifburh…
To mark the 100th anniversary, the delayed Women's #FACup Final is taking place at Wembley Stadium TODAY, as part of a day celebrating the women's game that their organization stymied for 50 years.

Women's football was incredibly popular prior to the ban.
At the time of the ban in 1921, women's football in England was thriving, in no small part due to the all-conquering Preston-based team 'Dick, Kerr Ladies FC', who played matches raising money for charitable causes, & frequently drew five-figure crowds.
