Well well well

The government is so incompetent it can’t even tax and spend without cocking it up.

@s8mb A simple shot of whisky between courses is acceptable

@cjsnowdon Does it still work if I don’t mix the whisky and the water?

I’m sorry to say this, but I just do not get wine and food. I like wine, and I like food, but I don’t see how they go together. A cold glass of water is always a more refreshing accompaniment to a meal for me.

“Pressure groups systematically misinform the public and then commission polls to have the misinformation spewed back to them in a feedback loop of useless opinions that is then used to guide policy-makers. That’s not democracy. It’s an AI hallucination.” thecritic.co.uk/dumbed-down-de…

8 tweets about Letby, 5 tweets about e-scooters and 3 tweets about daylight saving time from P-Hitch so far today and it’s still only 8pm. 👌

@ClarkeMicah It has been answered many times

This piece on the generational smoking ban has a read across to pretty much any policy area.

“Public opinion” is useless when the public is largely ignorant, writes @cjsnowdon thecritic.co.uk/dumbed-down-de…

Government by opinion poll doesn’t work when the public is pig ignorant. thecritic.co.uk/dumbed-down-de…

Nigel Farage said he wants to repeal the generational smoking ban and no one knew what he was talking about. Link below.

@CroslandCharles If doesn’t care about MPs and just wants to talk to random Letbytards, he should stop wasting parliamentary time and go straight to YouTube.

@cjsnowdon Adjournment debates rarely get more than a handful of people present I suspect you know that loads listened online Any thoughts on the substance of what Davis said ?

Plenty of seats available for David Davies’s latest speech about Lucy Letby.

Give this judge a gong.
