    My aunt was one of the first female bus drivers on Trent buses. She started work there along with several of her sisters as a conductress in the 1950's  when it was in a previous incarnation as Mansfield District Traction company. .  Two sisters , one my mum, married bus drivers.  When all the buses went one man, my Aunty Maureen retired from the buses and did something else. Aunty Shirley however, retrained as a bus driver and carrried on until retirement age.  In those days the union would have called a strike if they had  tried these shenanigans.

    The people on the beach were not breaking the law. Boris WAS

    Social distancing wasn’t law ? 
    Defecating in public places isn’t law? 
    Labour MP’s partying,  wasn’t law? 
    I’m beginning to wish Corbyn had won the election,  him and Piers would have had a lovely time.

    It's all to do with what it takes to be a leader .... self-evidently Boris doesn't have it. 😠

    He gulled the entire Tory party.

    This should probably be on the RTBC thread.

    Many of them saw @Hostafan1 ... but winning was more important to them than their principles ... so they held their noses and made him leader ... then others saw him as the least worst option ... never a good reason to elect a leader.   As I've said before, the majority of the electorate got what it deserved ... let's hope they learn from their mistakes.  Certainly the honest decent (if misguided IMHO) Tories I know (and I know quite a few who vote that way) were incandescent with rage when I spoke to them yesterday ...

    It's not a great idea to make your voters feel like dupes. Many of us knew they'd been duped and now they know it.
