Indeed, and ditto. But remember that 'our Brian' is a staunch Tory!Originally Posted by Pierre De Grenoble
I don't do social media, I leave that to puerile peeps..
but I was bitching during the election about when it had become acceptable for Politicians to lie, and I'm still bitching now, I'm no arm chair expert, I've just had my eyes and ears open for all my life, unlike many..

I bet Grant Shapps thought up "Stay Alert", the term is about as useless as most things he comes up with.As I said before .... Your Country Needs Lerts
The Scottish government are trying to distance themselves from it and I don't actually think anybody at all knows what it's about.
Could be about an impending alien invasion I suppose. I'll keep my eyes open, you never know!

Lol - defo, but in terms of talking sense, you may wish to have another go at this:
I think she is the only what he talks any kind of sense.
Sturgeon, however, is one of the few leading British politicians who are in politics for the RIGHT reasons [to genuinely try and make things better for the majority of people], rather than simply selfish, egotistical gain, such as Boris the Blustering Buffoon.

Think basically the message will be as before stay in but if you need to go out " STAY ALERT ". Simples. Just be socially aware of other folk and be sensible.But as usual Scotland and Wales are perfect
and poor old England gets everything wrong. And if your from London yer even more wrong
