Back after 8 years... what did I miss?

Ok see this is what I do not get (and again, i'm not on Twitter so i don't sit in a bubble). Maybe i'm merging several threads into one here...

This is a "centre-right" government, same as Germany for example. How can it be, that Germany, with a population of 20m more people and also governed by a centre right government, can record 8K deaths, and the UK has 40K? How can people think "yeh, not bad from the Tories".

The Cummings affair. Why couldn't they just say "Yeh, it was wrong, sorry". How that would have closed off the issue. They literally just shat on the entire country with their "no it was legal" despite knowing full well it was a crock of sh1t. I'd have respected them far more for an apology and reprimand rather than this doubling down of a nonsensical eye test for 30 mins drive with a 4 year old in the car. I am sure you know this too, yet for some unknown reason, cannot seem to criticise this government or accept any wrong doings.

Blows my mind, truly. I have voted Tories, Lib Dems and Labour in my life and I can happily criticise all 3, and there's definitely twitter circles on left and right that refuse to see things out of that bubble (Corbyn, jeez), but how anyone can think this Government has done a good job despite the wide ranging facts on the table they have completely roostered this up across the board, seem unable to even criticise or call them out on it.

Cummings clearly has dirt on Johnson.

My score would be a 3/10. Hard to see which areas they did well in.

Great Post.
The problem with the Cummings affair for me isn't that he broke the rules, but broke his rules. As stupid as I think those rules are, he made them, or was party to making them, he should own that. Hands up, I fudged up, I'm sorry and we move on.

The death rate across the globe has shown no particular pattern and for that reason I'm willing to defer judgement.

Too many people make a judgement and that's it, they won't be budged. I read it on social media, it must be true.
Broaden your scope, discuss, research, LISTEN, you might still not agree, but you will understand.

which Audi?

I am looking at an X5 but reading some car forums, seems some demand has been pent up and sales are happening, therefore not much in the way of discounts right about now.

Jeez if KD was on now with what is going on in the America thread that would be a real popcorn moment

KD is anothert one that pops up on TFC from time to time.

The Off Topic Threads are a joy to behold.

The completely unmoderated 'Forum Toilet' thread had to close due to complete anarchy.

I can't quite remember if Mick and Arcspace ever squared off? I think they did right?

I thought it was ArcspacE that was the final straw for Mick on here andis what pushed him over the edge due to their constant arguing?

I remember checking in on TFC not long after Arc had left here and they were both behaving like best of buds over there :D
