The cynical part of me, thinks you’ve been busy in the vaults, waiting for an opportune moment to lob a few grenades his way lol

Rather unbecoming behaviour from an ex mod in the study of his million pound house

Edwina Currie the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Common Sense' just got a bit of a drumming on GMB based on the ambiguity of the lock down restrictions.

As the ACC of South Yorkshire clearly stated, there's a myriad of ways that people can quite simply circumnavigate any actions by the police because of the holes.

I know. Just not sure what else you would do in a car, but go to another destination lol

@COYBL25
The million pound house is an in joke with @Bruce Wayne
Seemingly he was looking at new houses for 1.9 million in his area lol
