I don’t expect them to occupy their offices but I would expect letters to be answered and I would definitely expect them to answer their phones. They may have got tired of their ‘holiday’ and are back to running some sort of service by now. The reduced hours business is ridiculous.

Have you tried contacting the Environment Agency? "Our office is closed so don't bother writing, we are not answering any phones so don't call us. You can email us if you like and we might get round to answering some time but we can't guarantee anything" (I paraphrase) Or the HMRC helpline. "We are all working from home so we are operating on rdeuced hours of 10:00 to 16:00". Eh? How does that work out then?

Flippin' 'ell that went on a bit. How to flog something beyond the point when your audience have fallen asleep. He could have made his points in forty seconds.

Oh dear. Mine were in my account waiting for me. They were in something called 'reserved' or suchlike.

They should have been reserved for you unless you normally sit in blocks 40-42 or in the red zone around the tunnel. General sale is not until next Wednesday 26th.

Still being here has nothing to do with Johnson.

I never realised that Johnson was handing out all that money himself.

If you’ve already done a form you don’t need to do it again. As you say, unlikely to be enforced. I bought our two tickets today. £10 each plus £1.50 each handling fee, which was annoying.

Doesn't matter. He's in charge and he carries the can. He ought to have known. If he did then he has lied to Parliament. If he didn't then what's he doing there?

I just did 32 minutes. Surely I'm more worthy?

He lied to Parliament which is a Cardinal Sin. Lying to the public counts for nothing at Westminster.

Very apt.

I wouldn’t try the no. 10/11 defence. The garden is common to both and his official residence is number 10.

Ta. My wife insisted on watching that programme about Andrew and Ghislaine last night but to be honest there was nothing definitive.

Fair enough, but please don’t include me in those that did. I gave up voting for that load of arseholes years ago. To my eternal shame I used to vote for them but I haven’t done so for years.

Very true. But was Epstein a convicted sex offender at the time that he was hanging around? Guilty by association.

I certainly did not. What makes you say that I did? I was responding to something that he said in his rant. I can’t remember now and I really don’t want to sit through it again.

It does, but that is not a good thing and it is not mandatory. In my experience most football supporters have been decent, generous people but unfortunately the sport does attract some extremists.

That’s also a possibility. It may be that what I have suggested is just a plausible excuse.

Didn’t that take such action so that he could defend himself more equitably?

Good behaviour is the very definition of a sport. What you are describing is yob behaviour.

Nobody voted for Cummings.

It was the behaviour of their fans that I didn't like. What goes on at the upper levels is a different matter.

Call me old fashioned but I believe that there is a dignified and responsible way to behave in life.

Quite right. With any organisation you can easily tell if the Captain runs a tight ship. In this case it seems that every Friday everyone was getting tight.
