When that labour MP described one of his constituents as sitting outside the window of their dying relative, she looked moved. And so she bloody well should. That was the worst rule of the restrictions bar none. It was also a ****ing nonsense rule, as were a lot of them in hindsight. Meanwhile doing useful things like improving ventilation in schools has not been done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not true though is it ? many people were stuck at home not working on furlough - not their fault. but the idea that those in govt were the only ones working hard is an insult to the millions of key workers who were working harder than the vast majority of those in Whitehall . That’s the point the media have to make in response to these f#ckwits - eg. the nurses and doctors didn’t find time to have gatherings and drinks between meetings …… because they know what responsibility means …….. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Facecloth Posted 1 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 1 February 2022 The rule that meant Ian Blackford was kicked out yesterday is ridiculous. I mean there's proof that Johnson lied, but Blackford can't say it. Then he's instructed by the Speaker to change it to "inadvertently misled" rather than "misled". So he's asking Blackford to lie in parliament too, as he knows full well it wasn't inadvertent. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 1 February 2022 Share Posted 1 February 2022 It's the same ridiculous rule that allowed MPs to name Giggs in the commons and get away with it, despite an injunction being in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
String fellow Posted 1 February 2022 Share Posted 1 February 2022 Jack Straw says that Ian Blackford is a pantomime character. Having watched all of yesterday's entertainment in the Commons, it seemed as if the entire House was playing out a pantomime, with the PM enjoying the main role as the villain, obfuscating and procrastinating about Partygate events at every turn, in order to wind up as many people as possible. Judging by the reactions here and elsewhere, he succeeded. What will be his next cunning plan? Maybe to play the sympathy card by catching Covid-19 again (off Liz Truss) and needing hospital treatment again. As with Donald Trump, he loves being at the centre of everyone's attention, even if it's for all the wrong reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alf Bentley Posted 1 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 1 February 2022 Raab on BBC Breakfast this morning repeatedly saying that it was time to move on now that "Sue Gray's report has been published in full". That's clearly part of the plan - assume people are ignorant/bored enough to be conned that everything's been dealt with transparently, while hoping that the public and media have moved on by the time the Met complete their investigation. Piling lies upon lies and deceit upon deceit....what a strategy and what an utterly cynical, anti-democratic, morally corrupt institution the Conservative Party will be if they back Bozza and his mates on this. Then there's the PR plank of the strategy. After Johnson missed a phone call to Putin yesterday in order to concentrate on his partygate megashambles, Raab was trumpeting how Bozza would be visiting Ukraine imminently. What are the odds that we get a PR photo of Johnson sitting in a tank in the Ukraine? Perhaps doing that weirdly entitled banging motion he does with his fists? In fact, that would've been a good question for someone to ask yesterday: Could the Right Honorable Member assure me that the PM will get a tank-based photo opportunity on his visit to the Ukraine? Then you've got the PM responding to the self-dug hole in which he finds himself by making borderline libelous allegations re. Starmer/Savile & bizarre implications that the Labour front bench are connected to drugs in some way.....when one of his key ministers (Gove) has publicly admitted to past cocaine abuse. Maybe one or two Lab politicians do have a history with drugs, though most seem frankly too dull and conventional. I'd guess the same applies to the Tory front bench. It's no secret that I'm no fan of the Tories. But the country does need a party or parties to represent a range of right-wing or centre-right views. I honestly never believed that any mainstream UK party was capable of leading the nation into the utter cesspit that we now have under Johnson. If the Tory Party does not get rid of him immediately, it will be effectively declaring itself institutionally anti-democratic and morally corrupt - and will deserve to cease to exist and to be replaced by one or more reputable right/centre-right parties. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voll Blau Posted 1 February 2022 Share Posted 1 February 2022 Something else that seems to get lost in all this is just how mind-blowingly dense the Tory aides in Downing Street must be to have taken hundreds of photos at parties they knew were illegal - especially knowing the kind of cut-throat world these people choose to live their lives in where it could be used against them by colleagues, let alone in a criminal investigation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Finnegan Posted 1 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 1 February 2022 I love how British it is that being "rude" enough to call someone a liar to their face is enough to get you kicked out but inferring passive aggressively that someone's in cahoots with a paedophile is just fine parliamentary behaviour. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
