And soreen and fruit shoots - and I referred to it myself saying the bread was a load of shit.

I'm not sure about the cheese singles - a lot of them come chock full of preservatives - since cheese is supposed to come, you know, in mouldy blocks

Edit: Refer to any picture you like m8. None of them are nutritionally good.

Kids need loads of carbs, and the calcium value and protein in the cheese outweighs any chemicals (cheese singles in Europe aren't bad, additive-wise, wouldn't touch 'em in the US though). Its by no means ideal, but its not going to turn you into Billy Bunter. Veggies are boring but serviceable. I don't see the point in the fruit shoots though and I had to look up what Soreen was! Old person food.

I love a bit of soreen. Great snack if you're on a long walk as it's high calorie but low fat & sugar and tastes much nicer than most of those energy bars.

It was my Granddad's walking snack of choice

Quality slow-release carbs tho. Not instanta-blood-sugar-rush

A bit of a Glen, but I always enjoy the opportunity to call Hancock a snivelling little cockwomble.

Actually, I'm fairly sure @caLLous originally posted it with the same word to describe it.

Not saying you're not accurate though!

Isn't there still a independence thread knocking around somewhere.

He is talking bollocks but Sturgeon is hardly showering herself in glory atm, she needs to do her job. At the moment there are more important things than whining freedom every 10 seconds.

 

[Embattle]

Someone on Politics Live said they are both as bad as each other and just using the issue to avoid talking about other more immediate concerns.

So somehow Jimmy Krankie must resign but this is a nothingburger?

BREAKING: Court Order shows Boris Johnson misled Parliament over Covid contracts | Good Law Project

3 days after the High Court ruled Government had acted unlawfully by failing to publish Covid contracts, Boris Johnson stood up in the House of Commons and reassured MPs and the public that all Covid-related contracts were “on the record”. However, the final Order handed down by the Judge today...

He's not white though so it's fine.

This weekly (or bi-weekly) Tory corruption scandal is becoming so tiresome.

I think Boris will be long dead before they actually figure out what he spent 100bn on.

Maybe the strat is just to bombard with scandals so everyone gets bored and stops questioning it.

This one won't stand up to any scrutiny. He will just say he was trying to secure ventilators so it doesn't matter how he did it. He is probably right to some degree.

Pretty much. When it becomes a daily story I think most people just switch off. It's all just so tiring.

Will it make a blind bit of difference to Tory voters? Not really.

Having said that, my mum, who isn't particularly political is turning away from the Tories, and she has voted for them her entire life.

The Tories are quite happy for people to just give up on politics, they don't want people to engage because then people would see them for the absolute shysters they are.
