If you don't agree with my suggestion fair play but if you're going to have a go at someone back it up. Let's hear it, otherwise it just sounds like blatant sexism.

And while your compiling your list just remember Boris Johnson is prime minister. Didn't he do well.

Aldi said it is laying on extra trains packed full of pasta from Italy to restock shelves after German shoppers stripped stores of non-perishable goods.

The first trains carried 200 tonnes of pasta, including "way more" than 250,000 packets of spaghetti, Aldi Sued, which runs the discounters stores in the south of Germany, said in a blogpost.

"Longer-lasting foods such as pasta are currently in more demand than ever," Aldi said, adding that it will continue to buy pasta from its supplier in the town of Nola in the Naples area.

"There is no need to hamster pasta," the company said, using the German word that means to stockpile.

Folks arguing with me about an emergency government. Frankly you can't see your arse from your elbow.

The argument is, aye, let's stay the course. There's no alternatives. Bugger that. You need to get a grip here.

We are faced with an extraordinary crisis, it has to be met with extraordinary measures.

I'm not sure that you understand how this works. Emergency powers empower the sitting government. They don't replace it.

For better and for worse, when you establish a deep democracy you're simply creating the expectation that everyone will play by the same rules on how and when to transfer power. The incumbent political party lays down power because they expect to get it back in the future. That's it. That's the special sauce that frees you from the authoritarian trap.

What you're proposing is deeply corrosive. Your argument is that because these people at the top are incompetent (and you'll get no argument from me there), extralegal means of removal are justified. That doesn't follow, and it undermines everything invested in having a functional democracy in the process. There are legal means of removal that should be followed, and that most likely will be followed if their failure becomes sufficiently plain to see. It's plain enough to me, but then it was clear enough that they didn't belong in power before they got it, so it's other people that need convincing to make that happen.

To put it in a nutshell, people are not agreeing with you because your argument is impatient and shortsighted. Other people think your cure is worse than the disease.
