How much time and effort did the government of Scrooge waste defending the indefensible?

No doubt motorbiking disagrees with the government.

It's not their money they are giving its ours. They have already done a huge amount to fuel people through the pandemic. I'm not entirely sure I understand why there might be a significant increase demand for free dinners as a result of Covid. There are around 3M people not getting help, but I'm not sure they'd qualify for kids meals?

He’s on Moscow time.

That would explain his politics..And his interfering in other countries politics.And his dislike of the UK..You are a genius Dangee.

 

[Dangee]

He always speaks about our country as a “third party”.
Instead of saying “the law in our country etc”
He says “the law in the uk”. Or, we say
“When we need a new passport etc”
He’ll say “A citizen of the uk will need to.....etc”
Rarely us,our or we.
Just a disruptive agitator. A couple of months ago Twitter banned/deleted about 70000 accounts, all Russian & Turkish planting false or controversial posts designed to cause unrest.
Nice. Anyone on here who purely posts negative nasty comments is probably on the same track.
(Note..PURELY negative)

John is right. Public money s
hould be looked after. Maybe he should get in touch with bankrupt labour run Croydon council.
Last year they bought a hotel in the town for 26 million...............
5 million more than the asking price......

You make an excellent point how after cutting fudning for councils the Government encouraged them to become property investors by lending them money -all this did is sustain the property values for their mates.

Asked by the NAO why they had invested in commercial property, most councils surveyed said it was to generate income to fill gaps in their budgets.
