A chance to hang that fat ride Johnson out to dry and he mumbles away. He's not the top political journalist he thinks he is. I remember my sister sent me an article by him in around 2012 when his stock was high and he was saying interest rates were going to go up massively and suggesting people should fix their mortgage rates. I wrote back saying don't bother...In the end the rates went up 2 or 3 times by about 1% in total...She still went ahead and fixed hers, I just staying on my "premium" variable rate of BoE +1% which I've been on for 10 years. I finish my mortgage in 2 days, 12 years early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobmisterdobster Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Francis Albert said: Cummings behaviour indefensible and Bojos defence of him even more so. Plus side is the pandemic looks to be over. In 3 papers this morning I couldn't find a mention of the latest infection or death rates in the UK or anywhere else. Gordon Brown as Prime Minister famously misspelled a dead soldier's name in a condolence letter. He got flack for it and rightly so. But the media's comically over the top coverage allowed Brown to brush the whole thing off. It was larger pointed out that Brown is visually impaired and simply made a mistake. A similar thing is happenings here. Everybody hated Cummings 48 hours ago but images of the press doorstepping him and harassing his disabled son have muddied the waters. Now most people will roll their eyes at the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
