3 weeks that's only seen a few hundred thousand immunised with a drug designed by a German company in the US (and the EU nations will have a massive roll out in the millions per week) - and the Oxford vaccine isn't coming out tomorrow.
Was wondering how EU individual states will manage the vaccine role out, we probably will have to stop comparing ourselves on this as well!
 
What's wrong with having an educated government? I'd rather have some intelligent "public schoolboys" in government, rather than, for example, having a home secretary who was going to pay 10,000 extra police officers £30 per year, each.

In any case, 59% of Conservative MP's were educated at comprehensive schools, rather than private schools. With each year that passes, that figure is increasingly becoming more representative of the general population. Conservatives MP's are also more likely to have real world experience, i.e. in finance and general business. Real world experience is just as valuable as whatever may be taught in ones younger years.

Maybe this is why the Tories have an 80 seat majority?
Educated. lol Educated in looking after theirs and their coterie of hangers on, 'business partners', special interest groups and the like. Just look at the enormous amounts of money given to a myriad of firms in someway connected to the Conservative party during the last 10 months without public scrutiny. I wouldn't trust this government to look after sand in a desert.

Not on levelling playing field when it comes to Johnson gaffes and mistakes. That's the problem.

Why can a white educated privileged man get away continuous mistakes and black home Secretary cannot, race plays a huge part. Not being able to recognise this is simple black and white racism in my book.

Even the lowest paid workers in the UK, under the Tories, now pay less income tax than they would have under a Labour government. The Tory tax free allowance has continued to increase, year on year. This whole 'Tories only care about their rich friends' mentality is, quite frankly, bollocks!

How would you like to spend your hard earned money? Would you like to decide for yourself? Or have the government take it off you and decide on your behalf?

Actually, raising the income Tax threshold was one of the few things the Liberal Democrats achieved when in coalition with the Conservatives.

Ask the people dependent on the 2,000 food banks currently operating in the country with the sixth best GDP in the world.

Nothing to do with race or racism.... just down-right incompetence and laziness.



Watch the video... she couldn't even be arsed to prep for it. All she would have needed to know was a few basic facts and figures... and she couldn't even be bothered to do that.

Show me a video of equal incompetence from BJ?
 
Give me an example of a country where poverty has been completely eradicated.
Meanwhile, back to the benefits of Tory economic policy :

Not denying it was a poor performance, just when Johnson does it's his eccentricities of his intelligence. One is a white educated male from a privileged background the other is educated black women of Caribbean immigrants. It's racism with classism not to critique by the same standards.
 
What does Johnson mean by "levelling up the country"? That sounds like commie talk to me.

Unless he's going to embark on an ambitious project to demolish all the mountains and flatten the countryside, making the UK a cyclist's paradise like Holland?

It's a fantastically 'nothing' phrase that sounds positive to the voters but has no defined success criteria and can't be quanitifed or measured, but it can be claimed to have been achieved any time they like (some random MP tweeted a few weeks ago that levelling up was a "promise kept" which implies they've done it already).
