I wonder if Sunak will be questioned on the lives he saved with furlough and other contributions?

And by extension, lives lost through ongoing austerity to payback his vast spend (a large part of which seems to have been consumed by fraud and corruption)..firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 12:12 pmI wonder if Sunak will be questioned on the lives he saved with furlough and other contributions?
He really can't win can he !
Anyhow, his strategy so far seems to be - I just managed the economy, Johnson made all the decisions...
Sunak reminds me of myself when I used to be quizzed by Jobcentre staff as to why I didn't turn up to an interview or apply for a job. However much evidence was stacked against me I'd somehow keep my cool and talk my way out of it.
Sunak denies saying or hearing anyone in government say that hard working people would rather pay for their children's food than accept handouts, but when asked if he agrees it would be reprehensible if anyone did say that in a cost of living crisis, he avoided the question.
Indeed. The inquiry is becoming a bit like pass the parcel that no-one wants to end up in their lap.sionascaig wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 12:21 pmAnd by extension, lives lost through ongoing austerity to payback his vast spend (a large part of which seems to have been consumed by fraud and corruption)..firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 12:12 pmI wonder if Sunak will be questioned on the lives he saved with furlough and other contributions?

But on Sunak - who would you prefer: Johnson, Truss, May, Cameron? Other PM's are available.

It would seem that the UK is not the only one struggling with migration.

Right wingers may welcome this trend. I find it a bit worrying.
I can't shake off the notion that Hitler was far-right and elected democratically and then proceeded (rapidly) to construct the most evil regime we've ever seen.

I was reading your exchanges with G on the Rant Corner about Cats and Dogs.
I couldn't help but think that they are cared for and looked after more than Human Beings in this country.
And I would guess their is more support and charitable organisations in comparison.
I would imagine if you kick a cat or a dog down the high street you would be in serious trouble. But a Human Being you would probably get away with it.
Yeah, the thing about animals and children is that they're totally innocent and wouldn't understand mistreatment. At least a grown man knows the world is a shithole.The Silk Run wrote: ↑Tue Dec 12, 2023 8:50 pmI was reading your exchanges with G on the Rant Corner about Cats and Dogs.

Yes Derek. You are correct Sir, and a wise man.
I think we should kidnap Larry the Cat. Put a suicide vest on him and send him back to No.10.
Shall we have a vote on this ....
