Incidentally, two of the top lawyers who work for the government have resigned over this and the Health Secretary has now said live on radio that he's comfortable with the government breaking the law.
I mean, this is just getting bloody silly.

Yeah, but Matt Hancock’s already proven himself to be an impotent mouth-piece for the turd puppet that is Johnson.
I mean we’re getting into meta-levels of puppetry, with NHS spokespeople being puppets for Hancock who is a puppet for Johnson whose strings are in turn being pulled by Cummings. It’s very intricate.
But are you really surprised at this Nik? This is the feckless buffoon who lied to the Queen and tried to dissolve Parliament to let him pass whatever laws he wanted regarding Brexit until the Supreme Court said “Err... no.”
Its also the bumbling twat who bragged to the nation at the start of COVID that he’d been round a COVID ward in a hospital shaking everyone’s hand as was totally fine. Until he got COVID.
It’s also the cretin who refused to censure in any way Cummings when he broke just about every rule in the COVID self-isolation book while still spreading the message to everyone else that they needed to obey those rules. Meaning either: a) He doesn’t know how to run a country without Cummings; b) He doesn’t know how to control his party without Cummings; or c) Cummings has so much crap on Johnson that he could expose him at any time. Any of those means that the waffling prick, like each of his suits, is ill-fitted for the task he’s been given.
He’s like a Black Mirror version of Charlie Chaplin’s Great Dictator. One is a clown with silly hair impersonating an insidious dictator in an intelligent piece of comedy fiction. The other is an insidious dictator with silly hair impersonating a clown in a horrifyingly serious reality.

I am so curious as to what Cummings has on Johnson.
He must have something, surely? Ever since the whole Barnham Castle debacle, I cannot fathom why he wouldn't cut him loose. The amount of PR damage and how weak and ineffective it makes the Prime Minister look must outweigh any strategic knowledge or value Cummings has to the administration. There must be some kind of blackmail thing or something going on here.
We know Johnson isn't loyal, he's gleefully stabbed multiple people in the back in the pursuit of his political ambitions. Why not Cummings? What could he have on him? We all know about his illegitimate children, his open corruption is a matter of public record (Garden Bridge anyone?) and he's U-turned on and/or bungled almost every major political decision he's made as part of his administration.
Somewhere in the region of 40 - 60 thousand people are dead from COVID on his watch and his decisions decimated our care homes. What on earth could Cummings have on him that is worse than all that?

Characters: Cyber Samurai, Wilima Stonewall, Red Oni, Jaakobah , Giduiz Mazi, Midas Goldsteel
Gambit: Gambit see your bet and raise it, because the cards always be in my favor.
Considering I am a Dune fanboy and saw the trailer. I have a huge sense of joy. It may work, that I am hoping on.
Also got into Foundation which is getting screen attention.
Read the latest One Punch Man chapter, and all I can say is
spoilers:end of spoilers
Got-damn Tatsumaki, wringing every drop out of the giant eldritch horror. Also, look at Genos being a team player and opening up a moment so Tatsumaki could finish rescuing the heroes, allowing her to put her full attention on Psykos.
And you know, considering everything in the Murata-drawn version of OPM, I bet that the only reason that Saitama doesn't fly is because he's just never actually tried.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

New Kengan Omega out. And the rules silliness continues, which hopefully won't perpetuate the trend of the good guys being 'better fighters' but the bad guys winning via rules exploitation.
I AM interested to see the new Fang, and what the writer has in store for him...especially given his size.
Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
New Kengan chapter is out and I’ve been waiting to see how these characters fight.
