Having a look on Famiboards, it doesn't appear we Britons have a UK thread yet. In honour of the latest idiocy and craziness to make the news rounds, what better way to celebrate that having our own Startopic to discuss issues pertaining to our little rock stuck in the Atlantic.
The latest news from Brexit Island:
Boris Johnson apologies for Downing Street party that he maintains never took place, but gives assurances that Covid guidelines were followed at event that never happened
Transphobe Island continues to be institutionally transphobic
Covid Plan B that the Government assured everyone was not going to happen, is probably going to happen
In other news: The weather has been spectacularly shit even by British standards, people up North still don't have power, and Brexit is still ruining things for everyone.
On the plus side, I've got a cracking cup of Lapsang on the go.
Fellow Britons; Its been a mental couple of days, and it's possibly going to get even worse. How are you holding up?
The latest news from Brexit Island:
Boris Johnson apologies for Downing Street party that he maintains never took place, but gives assurances that Covid guidelines were followed at event that never happened
Before taking any questions, Johnson told the Commons he was “also furious to see that clip”, saying: “I can understand how infuriating it would be to think that the people who have been setting the rules have not been following the rules.”
He continued: “I apologise unreservedly for the offence that it has caused up and down the country, and apologise for the impression that it gives.”
To jeers from the opposition benches, Johnson said he had no personal knowledge of any party. He said: “I repeat that I have been repeatedly assured since these allegations emerged that there was no party, and that no Covid rules were broken.”
Transphobe Island continues to be institutionally transphobic
During his after-dinner speech at South College, Liddle said that when it comes to gender, the left is against “science or pure facts”, adding: “A person with an X and a Y chromosome, that has a long, dangling penis, is scientifically a man, and that is pretty much, scientifically, the end of the story.”
Covid Plan B that the Government assured everyone was not going to happen, is probably going to happen
Ministers are expected to sign off new rules to impose home working and vaccine certification across England in the face of rising Covid cases, the Guardian understands.
Downing Street said no final decisions had been made but ministers and officials convened on Wednesday to move to plan B and to begin
imposing some restrictions as early as Wednesday night.
