egg Posted 17 March, 2020 Share Posted 17 March, 2020 FFS It's not the need for them to have child care it's the need for us as a society that they have child care. This isn't about not inconveniencing people it about allowing essential process to continue for the good of all. The need for schools as daytime child care is for the parents, many of who provide essential services for us all. I get that completely, however, the issue is whether that should come at the inevitable cost of the children widening the spread. It's a tough balance and we can all only hope that we've got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Brass neck' Brexiteer Michael Gove attacks 'identity politics' - after warning 77million Turkish people would be able to come to Britain" It says in link , you can Google it and read various other reports on the subject . As with all propaganda is it about creating the idea in people's head and this was just before the vote , job done.

East Kent Saint Posted 24 May, 2020 Share Posted 24 May, 2020 It was a comment about relying on Gove for the truth about Cummings trip up north during lockdown . Duck is being pedantic , Gove did say 77m Turks could come to the UK when Turkey joined the EU which was extremely unlikely and just a scare before the Brexit vote. So that was the point which is correct , Lord D seems to be trying to make the point about it not being an exact quote , this is true but then it wasn't supposed to be , it was a reference to what Gove did say in the past. Do I have an army of fact checkers to check before I post on here ? No , I use Google like most people usually after the event ! Time to move on ......

Lord Duckhunter Posted 24 May, 2020 Share Posted 24 May, 2020 Gove said that if Turkey joined the EU, then 77 million Turks would have the right to settle in the UK. You claimed he said that 60mil would do so. You’re now claiming that although you were wrong, and just made up the quote, it was ok because you were merely proving Gove is a liar. Can you not see the irony in making something up, to prove someone else is untrustworthy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 25 June, 2020 Share Posted 25 June, 2020 Jenrick and Richard Desmond are yet another example of how the idea that the Tory and Brexit parties are anti-elite and populist are an absolute joke and a total lie. That’s purely been done to shaft the local community there. Let him stay as with Cummings, it will destroy Boris’s government from the inside as the accumulation of sleaze did to Major’s. As with Major’s government, Labour are finally waking up a bit although long way still off a party I could ever vote for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't trust him to operate kitchen roll without injuring himself - a truly pointless minister, totally devoid of any skills, with a car-crashesque track record of inept failure that makes the PPE debacle look like a glorious triumph.
