This is dystopian. Has Cummings grubby fingerprints all over it.

As we already knew (though had no evidence), staying out of the EU ventilator scheme was a political decision not an email error, according to Sir Simon McDonald, the Foreign Office permanent under-secretary.

for the too-lazy-to-click

UK ministers took a political decision not to be involved in an EU ventilator scheme, Sir Simon McDonald , the Foreign Office permanent under-secretary said today, so challenging previous claims that the UK did not take part due to missed emails.

McDonald was asked by a Labour MP, Chris Bryant, at the foreign affairs select committee whether the ventilator scheme was put to ministers. He said:

It was a political decision. The UK mission (UKREP) briefed ministers about what was available, what was on offer and the decision is known.

His remarks appear to blow a hole in the case originally made most prominently by the Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove.

McDonald also said the prime minister will consider in the next few weeks whether to go for an extension of the deadline for EU withdrawal date beyond December. He said he was stressing the theoretical possibilities, and added he believed the prime minister will confirm the existing timetable.

I haven’t been following UK news at all the last few weeks, but reading this thread just now makes me feel like I’m going a bit crazy. It seems to be the case that the government was creating fake twitter accounts and spreading propaganda - exactly what we’ve been endlessly told Russia is doing to destroy our democracy - and, if my brief trawl of a few UK news sites is accurate, no one cares?

I obviously didn’t expect apologies, resignations and sincere promises to never do it again, but is it not even a big story?

It’s funny you’re saying this, are you trying to push a narrative here :wink: because it’s been debunked by err not being ABLE TO SHOW ALL THE ACCOUNTS INVOLVED… SCREENSHOTS???

My attempt at humor :zipper_mouth_face:

It’s actually worse, when thinking about the current cover-up going on known as CoVHiD-It Again.

I’ve only been reading I am Incorrigible on Twitter lately… We have doubled in cases here in my city and are at over 2,000 cases now.

I expect that to rise, as I wrote in the CoV-19 thread today… No distancing, No one way system adhered too, No fucks given, Staff standing talking together etc.

Spoke to my Taxi friend and he’s still not worried, still working as its a Black Hack, I’ve yet to speak to anyone who is taking it seriously, yup, seriously. :angry:

No wonder the Propaganda is getting through, the’d rather believe B.S. than face the truth is my thinking on it. Who knows tbh. :relieved:

Someone mentioned a while ago - can’t remember where - that we are great at taking a good idea and milking it until it becomes embarrassing.

I kinda expected this reaction, at least it gave you all a wee snigger :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Bereavement staff have been spat at and assaulted by mourners who are angry at the six-person restriction for funerals, a city council has said.

This is England indeed.

I ignored your obvious trolling. :laughing:
