      Chris Greyling was a Minister renowned for his lack of attention to detail and overall incompetence. It is therefore appropriate to use his name as a measure of Government incompetence.

      In my view this Government now has a 5 Greylings ranking. (Johnson for flip-flopping having not got it right first time, Hancock, and Harding on Covid and Test &Trace, Williamson on the exam debacle, and Shapps on the HS2 money waster).

      Unfortunately as we head towards the sh*t-storm that is likely to be a Brexit crash-out, I have a horrible feeling that the Government will score 10 Greylings in that alone!

      In all seriousness, if you stocked up for Covid, now is the time to stock up for Brexit as we are heading towards turning Kent into a lorry park, and consequent shortages of everything.

      If you think that is just ‘Remainer’ FUD, read about our woeful efforts to put in the bureaucratic  infrastructure required to manage a Brexit crash-out, and make up your own mind.

        Unfortunately having been caught out with excess stock twice before, no-one is showing signs of stockpiling this time. The money men are moving out at a faster pace too.

        Everyone was told to worry about Corbyn running some sort of Marxist state experiment, well it seems this lot are quite prepared to throw the country into the bin to run their own right wing experiment.

          Mr Corbyn didn’t have some sort of Marxist experiment in mind, given a big enough majority, he had a full blown Marxist state in mind.

          Mr Johnson has been a bit busy recently with a new baby and being in hospital with the virus but I’m hoping we have his attention now.

            Not if his performance on Wednesday’s PMQ’s is anything to go by!!! You’d think that his experience with the virus would have reminded him of the necessity of getting things like Brexit right first time. We’re not decorating the spare room here, or buying a second hand car!! There will be collateral damage to the country if they get it wrong, not just the cost of a ‘do-over’ or the inconvenience of going to court to recover the cost of a ‘lemon’!!

              We have a government not a dictatorship, the state of Boris Johnson’s health or home status shouldn’t have any affect on the governing of the country. If he can’t lead the government then he should get out of the way.

              Everything is just a U turn shit show with his lordship being absent even when he’s in London. He only shows up for show piece events he can grandstand at and appears to have little grasp of the reality or any detail. It’s even come to the Speaker having to pull him up, and thankfully no-one can now blame the Speaker himself.

              The honours list is just a roll call of nepotism, cronyism and rewarding Brexiteers. Who would have thought the Revolutionary Communist Party IRA supporting Claire Fox would have been on that list? Misogynist homophobic Abbot being given a government role? Yes you can see that, should fit right in, but a terrorist supporting commie? Imagine if Corbyn had done that!

                It comes to something when even the far right press have recognised that Johnson is a lazy ne’er-do-well. It is now the case that at least once or twice a week he is on the vituperative end of a barb from the Mail, Express and even the CIA Murky-dog pups. He is no longer the fair-haired blue-eyed boy who can do no wrong, but a liability like the rest of the Greyling-like spawn.
