Anyone Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 18 minutes ago, The Voice of Reason said: David Ashford produced the letter. Dr Glover more than implied it existed. And yes the author will not claim ownership for good reason. Given the above the man on the Clapham omnibus would be drawn to the conclusion that there was such a letter. Trying to introduce the slightest element of doubt is disingenuous A mayfly’s existence may be ephemeral but would you suggest that they too do not exist? Anyone who invokes the ‘man on the Clapham Omnibus’ is I would think very late middle aged , white , in all probability racist , homophobic , and a bit of a prick. But otherwise.

Boris Johnson Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 3 minutes ago, The Voice of Reason said: Sadly I guess just a sign of the times. Sure is, we have never in my entire life had such a useless government and it is just going to get worse as we have somehow ended up with the CS running the island and elected MHKs just being their spokesmen/ women. Its a right old mess and me gran used to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 21 minutes ago, The Voice of Reason said: Shall we call it open minded? You need to apply some critical reasoning rather than accept what authority figures tell you at face value. That is not to always disagree, but to apply your own mind to these things. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declan Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 11 hours ago, The Voice of Reason said: I have no such doubts Even if you have no doubts about the veracity of letter, you have to admit his conduct in the matter is pretty reprehensible. He's minster for health. He get's a letter alleging poor moral within his department. His response is to read it out at a press conference to score some minor point in his dispute with a scientist that has been working with his department. Then the letter having "served its purpose" he shreds it and blames GDPR. Is that HR best practice? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I thought the Government were moving out of the, afraid of the light of day method of governance. This administration latterly has moved the clock backwards in terms of operating with the light shining on everything they do. People who seek to hide from public scrutiny are unfit for public office. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
