I went o look at the full Monty on Conservative Women, and got another take on her piece altogether - most of it is, in fact, bundled up with Baker's inability, in her eyes, to stand up to the sinister forces promoting lock down; "on Tuesday (Baker) found himself unable to join the diminishing band of rebels he once led to vote against cancelling the absurd ‘rule of six’. Despite Baker’s protestations, neither the ‘concessions’ agreed in place of the Brady amendment, nor the remedy these so-called Tory rebels purported it to be, made any difference. The renewal of the Covid Emergency Powers Act swept through, with Hancock’s ominous warning that the government will ‘act with speed when required’, hinting that further draconian rules will be imposed without respecting this amendment, ringing in the public’s ears." I suspect, were I bothered to do any more digging, I'd find comments about 'normies' and 'sheepies', fulminations about masks and probably a full on defence of David Icke - but, frankly, I've better things to do. david walshnoreply@blogger.com
