I'm sure you know I wasn't, as I said as much. I was alluding to the fact that fortunately, it didn't matter.That is often used as an excuse by those looking to diminish the issue.

Yes it just makes them look even more incompetent
Good to know that no-one in the entirety of government had the nous to think, "I haven't received an e-mail, that's odd. Perhaps I'd better chase that up and check what's happened."
Basic levels of initiative one learns at an early age.

Let's not forget the U-turn made by Sir Simon McDonald stating that not participating in the EU PPE scheme was a 'political' decision made by ministers. However, five hours later he said he'd been wrong. The smell of bullsh*t still wafts....
Sir Simon McDonald - who is permanent secretary at the Foreign Office - told the Foreign Affairs Committee that it was a deliberate move by ministers.
"We left the European Union on 31 January," he said.
Pushed further, he added: "All I can say is that it is a matter of fact that we have not taken part. It was a political decision... and the decision is no."
But five hours later, he released a letter to the chair of the committee, Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat, saying he had been wrong in what he said.
"Due to a misunderstanding, I inadvertently and wrongly told the committee that ministers were briefed on the joint EU procurement scheme and took a political decision not to take part in it," he wrote.

Sir Simon McDonald says he was incorrect to state the UK opted out of EU scheme for political reasons.www.bbc.co.uk
I agree however, there are still some that choose to believe the bullshit. I'm sure there will more of the same to come yet (ie. trying to re-write history)Don't worry Sammy, I think anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows that wrong e-mail addresses, defunct e-mail addresses, full inboxes etc etc are scraping the barrel of bullsh*t. Even for this government.
As well as actually insulting the intelligence of the public as well.

Maybe he didn’t get the email?I know we don't do grammar police in here but just hearing a Huffington post journalist pose a question with the phrase "Black And Minority Ethnic" in it made me cringe.
Let’s face it, Boris has default position to lie at every opportunity. Perhaps we shouldn’t be too hard on the ‘puppet’ but look at the puppet master?Boris " if I can massage a figure to within an inch of it's life I will" Johnson
Someone should collate all these statements
Lets start with that "shortly after" means 3 weeks.

Government: Firm’s £108m PPE contract issued ‘in error’
The government has backtracked on official documents showing that it awarded a family-run firm £108m to procure personal protective equipment (PPE),www.cityam.com
That was from a serial re-register with mental health issues. When his posts were removed he responded to me with " You nasty ****, you evil F U CKING little man. " He then threatened to kill his parents, and then went on to abuse other members who had responded to his thread.There was a (very) short lived thread yesterday evening titled 'Getting out of hand', from someone who actively proposed such, to the extent it would see the death of all old and infirm in our society.
I don't understand why the public appears unconcerned that our prime minister is a pathological liar.
Something doesn’t add up here, I suspect more details will come out. How a company with no PPE experience was awarded a multi million pound government contract against huge competition and 3 days before the tender process end date?Government: Firm’s £108m PPE contract issued ‘in error’

Denial, desensitised.
Perhaps the reality for some is too much to take. Or they're just okay with it. Which would be quite disturbing to be honest.
Or maybe people are just so worn down from the last few years - they don't like it, but they are too tired to express opposition.
But that's the kind of psychology for another thread!

You lot are a breeze to mod in comparison.

Unless someone in the know actually saw this coming and simply didn’t waste time and money on it.I realise that, no probs. Was just highlighting the excuse has been used before, but it doesn't hold any water as it was still a free shot at a time when we were in dire straits.
