Did she not get paid for the work she did ? She seems so angry . She sounds like she wants fairness and justice and also clear boundaries about what she has created and what others my use with her permission. That's all. Never once have I heard her sound angry. Resilient and determined to protect her homeland from buffoons who are out of their depth I grant you but I can live with that. Not that I have a view either way of course. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite long (about 3 hours) but you'll learn a lot. I don't think they want to learn, they're probably part of The Sisterhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why the hansard, when (if?) it is eventually published, is important. Three hours talking is about 20 minutes reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you think I think he meant. But I've always read it as false or pretend patriotism that a scoundrel turns to when all other schemes have failed. This is of course backed up by Boswell's description of the occasion Johnson used it and fits the context I used it in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrelevant whether he has met her, what is relevant is the evidence given of funny goings on in his government. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KERED Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Mouton's first question was ok, and I was pleased that he pressured Howie to provide a suitable answer. However - his second question. . . "can you believe that it is 12 months since you, personally, contracted long Covid?" was pathetic! What sort of question is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
