      That's a good spot Sean

      DIdo Harding now running the track and trace app despite being chair of Talk Talk when ithe details of 156,959 customers and 15,000 bank account numbers were accessed by hackers and is married to John Penrose, a Tory MP and former minister, is also a director of the Jockey club who own 15 racecourses including Cheltenham and Newmarket.

      The MP for Cheltenahm Laurence Robertson – whose Gloucestershire constituency includes Cheltenham racecourse – chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group on Racing and is a regular recipient of hospitality from the gambling industry.

      During last month’s Cheltenham racing festival, Robertson and his wife received ?4,000 worth of hospitality from firms including William Hill, the Jockey Club and GVC Holdings, the Isle of Man-based gambling giant that owns Coral, Ladbrokes and others.

        Laurence Robertson is the MP for Tewkesbury - however, the racecourse is in the Tewkesbury constituency. The other day was the first time he ever said anything I agreed with when he commented on Dominic Cummings (he believes he should be sacked). He's been my MP for the vast majority of my adult life.

        Alex Chalk is the MP for Cheltenham.

                It won't make any difference, of course, but maybe OTF will be archived one day

                      Is it me, or is some good, old fashioned sleaze a comfort in these lunatic days?

                                As an aside, it's corruption. Sleaze is when it's a sex scandal. The papers started to conflate the two in the dog days of the Major government, possibly to make corruption seem less bad.

                                Sorry Eggy, it's a minor hobbyhorse of mine, like the conflation of scepticism with cynicism.

                                  Well, if it's corruption then I demand someone immediately carry out a romp followed by a message of support from the family.

                                    Guys, Boris Johnson's Prime Minister. romps are positively encpouraged. in fact you're more likely to lose ypour job if there hasn't been a bit of rompy-pompy. or a few daytime technology lessons.

                                    In fact you can do pretty much anything (just as long as say anything critical about Israel. )

                                      Surely rompy-pompy would depend on the circumstance?

                                        Romps need to be clandestine and preferably drenched in hypocrisy, so it needs to be something like discovering Rees Mogg frequents gay brothels dressed as Nancy Astor.

                                            Yeah, but there would have to be some level of shock to it as well!

                                                  Nef, from the POV of changing the system, I'm pessimistic about the wider media or indeed most of the country giving a flying fuck about these things. From my perspective, however, threads like this are a great resource, even if I don't post or respond much, you're not howling into the void. I'd suspect that's the case for a few others too.
