None of them actually seems to have a proper job where they rely on actual economic activity to pay their bills. I know you said you only joined MF to rant at your personal situation, but you now appear to have veered off into ‘judgemental unkind negative territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he is doing the stuff that the Chief Secretary hasn’t got the ability to do whilst being groomed to take over, quietly, some time in the near future. You may well be right, though Lewin is still shown as the CEO of DfE. But the last thing they want is the top job in the Civil Service being appointed by open competition, far better to make sure it goes to the right mate especially if they have a track record of being in charge of such a well-run and productive Department. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it was outdoors? Trevor has subsequently fallen into debt that he will never get out of. What about Sarah who runs a cafe? Diedre with the gym business? Gertrude the taxi driver? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the public to police themselves and we can get back to generating more commerce to fill the coffers again. The public are indeed policing themselves and doing so by staying away from situations where they might catch Covid . Which means the coffers aren't filling. It seems to me that an awful lot of those calling for people to "look after their own health"[1] then get very upset when people actually start to do that and then make decision that are different from their own. [1] Which is a completely stupid thing to say if you think about it anyway. What are people supposed to do - set up their own hospital? learn to do their own brain surgery? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions and advice regarding measures and I bet it would have a similar effect. I have no idea what is going on in the devolved nations. It makes the Isle of Man look like a liberal paradise, words that I never think I would associated with the island. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
