No Spart, not Theresa May. She was the worst.
And Corbyn, don't make me laugh.
They are adults VC10, not manchildren like Trump and de Pfeffell. That's why they would be better. You will never know how people perform until they have the job. You think the present incumbent at number 10 is doing a good job so I doubt your judgement.
Spart, Corbyn is still in his 1960s anti establishment state, he hasn't grown up yet and probably never will. I haven't forgotten him inviting murderers to the Commons a few weeks after the Brighton bomb.
Already the Labour party is in a better state after less than one day.
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters”
VC would definitely be a Trump voter.
You need to go out for a decent walk VC and clear your head.
Your rants on here are getting more extreme by the day.
Has Silky declared the prediction league bull and void yet BTW?
Think you were right the first time Scouse.

How many murderers did Thatcher invite to number 10? She was a friend of Pinochet for a start. Never forgive Jack Straw for not sending that toerag to Spain to face trial. Always thought him a pompous git from the first time I met him on my first day as a student. What sort of man goes to the police about his son trying to buy a bit of weed but lets mass murderers go free.
Jack Straw is a horrible excuse if a man.
Wasn't it him who shook hands with Mugabe when he (apparently) didn't recognise him because he was too vain to wear his glasses?
VC, have a look at the graph on here.

What extreme rants? I have my opinion, you have yours. Why posters say I would vote for Trump I don't know, he is a revolting man. He is just a better president than some others and more appealing than Billary.
Not content with attacking me for having right of centre leanings and voting Tory, now you want to take the prediction league title from me. Well you can shuv it up your 'arris.
Some of the comments directed at me are disgusting, you lost 666, you've lost Heb and now you want me gone.
Scouse Blair and Brown chucked our money away with abandon and helped cause the mess that the Tories had to sort out. Every single Labour government have left office with unemployment lower than when they got in. This isn't a rant, it is a fact.
Goodbye, I've enjoyed the football chat but some of you still think you are at uni. Grow up folks.
Did they VC, I can tell you as I produced energy certificates for public buildings that many of our schools and hospitals were falling to bits by the year 2000. They needed money spent on them, it wasn't throwing money away but an investment in the nation. Oddly enough the latest chancellor has been keener to spend than Corbyn wanted but whereas the Express said at the election that Corbyn was going to bankrupt the nation the Express applauded him spending more. Make what you will of that.
"Every single Labour government have left office with unemployment lower than when they got in."
That's your quote VC, and you still vilify them?
“Two things you should be slow to criticise: a man’s choice of woman and his choice of work”. Add to that his choice of political party it seems.
Can’t we just play a bit more nicely? There are opinions not necessarily self-evident truths. It’s worse than when we discuss the merits of Tom Lawrence.

Ouch.
Meanwhile there has been a fairly big drop in the daily deaths in Spain. It does start to look as though we can expect a grim week or two and then an improvement.
I don’t really agree with the proposed banning of outdoor exercise. This is very low-risk as are most things outdoors. They key to reducing spread is limiting people coming into contact indoors where they might contaminate surfaces. At the moment the main sources of spread are likely to be supermarkets and hospitals. At Sainsbury’s yesterday they were inviting people to wash their hands as they go in and to use disposable gloves. This is sensible but they didn’t provide bins to dispose of the gloves on the way out or hand sanitiser on leaving which would also help. Spread in hospitals is very difficult to stop. Visitors have been banned and most outpatient consultations done by phone but patients still need to move around the hospital, to X-ray and so on. No matter what protective clothing is issued inevitably a proportion of staff will catch it and take it home or to the supermarket.
Have to agree with you Vidal, it is meeting people in enclosed spaces that is the problem, especially for those people who work in those places.
The Health &Safety at work act says that there must be a risk assessment for all tasks, measures taken to reduce risk and a safe method of work used. It seem obvious to me that Doctors, Nurses, Bus Drivers, People on check outs, Prison officers etc have not been assessed, or if so not properly. The management therefore will be in breach of the H & S act and should face prosecution. How many do you think will?
These are extraordinary times. It is not so easy to just say that you can do an assessment and that employees will be OK. All you can do is to provide the safest environment possible but you can’t have no risk at all. That risk is always there to some extent. There are plenty of bacteria and viruses around in hospitals at all times. I am exposed to a lot of ionising radiation in my job and that increases my risk of getting a malignancy. I can wear a lead coat and thyroid shield which provide reasonable protection.
There are other jobs where people put themselves at risk. The armed forces is an obvious one, also the police. Employers have to do their best but sometimes there are circumstances beyond everyone’s control.
There is no such thing as safe or unsafe, just different levels of danger. We have to the best we can at any one time and get on with the job.
Just heard “Murder most foul” on the radio, a new track by Bob Dylan. What a wonderful moving song, 16 minutes of brilliance.

Yes and quite poignant
Boris Johnson after shaking the hand of a Covid 19 suffer has tonight been admitted to hospital for ongoing testing after running a continuous temperature.
Is this his way of getting out?
I’m no fan of Boris but him being admitted to hospital doesn’t help. I hope he gets well soon. There is good new around Europe today with numbers again falling.
Whats wrong with this site? won't let me post regarding Honor Blackman!
