Pity the wee un seems to care more about being contrarian than she does about her public.

//...why only now, should there now be a common legal system?//

No reason at all. The progress towards a common UK legal system should have been an aspiration for successive UK governments since the nations came together. There was never such a move and that was a mistake. Unfortunately devolution slaughtered what little progress had been made.

PAT, "Devolution is the worse thing that happened to the UK. It's taken us backward to medieval times."

Do you have examples of similarities between now and the mediaeval period in each of the four countries?

An aloof, self-interested but useless political class.

Is it Scott’s the bakers on the high street who are suffering ?

[pat2604]

Corby, have you any imaginstion at all. Another one of your regular postings. Rules and examples.!!!!

I was referring back to days where all the countries where split up with multiple kings all fighting with each other. I really do give up!!

[THECORBYLOON]

"I really do give up!!" Is that a promise?

[pat2604]

Yes!

[steg]

// Government statistics show 399,820 people tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in the UK between 5 and 11 March, an increase of 143,956 (56.3 per cent) on the previous seven days. Between 1 and 7 March, hospitalisations increased by 16.9 per cent from the previous week. Deaths within 28 days of a positive test are rising more slowly, with a week-on-week increase of 2.8 per cent as of 11 March. Easing restrictions, waning immunity and the more transmissible omicron sublineage BA.2 are thought to be driving the surge in cases. //

Boris is like that old King ignoring the tide.

Mibees the morn

[youngmafbog]

That old King did not ignore the tide though, neither did he think he could control it. Yet another example of you quoting Myth as fact.

[anneasquith]

Another ‘ user inactive ‘ ?

[THECORBYLOON]

Who?

[wolf63]

I'm Scottish and I am suffering - I think that it has something to do with the tub of Angel Delight Ice Cream that I just massacred.

CBL………. Pat said ‘ she was going ‘ .

Boris is like that old King ignoring the tide.

Those figures you quotes, Gromit: how much different do you think they would have been had we all continued to wear flimsy face masks? Clue: the Scots have continued to do so and their figures are worse than England's. As I said upthread, everybody will be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 sooner or later and wearing a flimsy face mask will not prevent that.

Just to add to youngmaf's remarks about the "Old King": I trust you are referring to King Cnut (aka Canute):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut#The_story_of_Cnut_and_the_waves

After he had been drenched by the incoming tide, the King said this:

"Let all the world know that the power of kings is empty and worthless, and there is no king worthy of the name save Him by whose will heaven, earth and the sea obey eternal laws."

The King knew he could not control the tide; only his courtiers believed he could. Similarly the Prime Minister knows he cannot control the spread of the virus; only people roaming around wearing flimsy face coverings believe he can.
