You've been here since 2011, so you should know. He owned a now defunct channel, Bluebird, and was a member here for a short time. Nobody is gonna be discussing it further, because we don't want it discussed, it's toxic. Thanks.

fair enough

OK so the Bank of England reduced the interest rate from 0.75% to 0.1% because nobody's working.
The high street banks followed suit, lowering their interest rate, if you're a saver then you get less.
But guess what, the high street banks didn't lower their interest rate for mortgages....no they put that up
Maybe they think that because we're all at home then they ought to be rewarded a bit more for lending us the money to buy 'em.
Someone's gonna make a lot of money out of this Covid thing.

STEVE Hedley, Assistant Chief of the RMT, said he'd "throw a party” if Boris Johnson died of Covid-19. The trade union official, who earns £100,000 a year from its many low-paid members, also hopes the whole Cabinet contracts the deadly virus. This CUNT has been suspended!!

I hope he gets what he deserves from those in the union for his remarks.

Don’t know how much he earns has anything to do with what he said

He earns £1000,000 a year

I say again what’s how much he earns got to do with anyone else surely it’s what he said that matters

More than a fair few people will make money out of this thing just watch the Government give themselves a pay rise or bonus for a job well done and those on the front line won't be as suitably rewarded.

It does look odd that tomorrow we are flying in 180 Romanian workers to fruit pick when we are paying millions of UK workers to stay at home due to the corona virus.

Didn't we vote a few years ago because people felt like foreigners in their own country and foreigners were nicking all our jobs?
Didn't the current Government have something to do with it?
