I think king rat's great and should stay. He's singlehandedly torpedoing brexit and the tory party and securing a labour victory at the next election. And showing the blue wall the complete contempt the conservative party hold them in. In banal language only a tory can and they understand. A deceptively difficult achievement that. He will have deserved that peerage once he goes
When you put it like that, the awful lies, pathetic incompetence, sickening double standards and vile corruption look far more palatable than that line up of hopefuls.
I think his tactic will be to give the public the finger and say, **** you, I’m going nowhere. It might work.
Some report the incident as if Martyn Reynolds is the sole offender and that Boris Johnson is the victim of collateral damage from Reynolds’ incompetence Others go in for the kill.
Someone needs to publish the list of all invitees - and who attended.
Telegraph and FT are the only ones which do not have the story in some form on their front pages (at some point last night - they do sometimes change).It’s very interesting how the newspapers have reacted to the Number 10 party. Some completely ignoring the story and focusing on “Serbian National stays in an Australian Hotel“ Instead
It’s easy to predict which approach has been adopted by the selection of rags on offer to us.
It will be interesting to see if Dame Dick sends the filth round to Downing Street to issue a few fines. My guess will be no, she won’t. She has been purchased by being indoctrinated into the Jimmy Saville Club. Dame Dick is on a short leash.
The threat of a TV licence funding review should keep the BBC quiet.
If they can get people angry about brown people in dinghies again, that would be helpful too.
The public are sufficiently conditioned to accept more BS. Johnson might just pull this off.
That’s a good point and it illustrates the scale of deceit / contempt for the public within government. A minimum of 100 people have known about this for 21 months and they’ve kept a lid on it! Perhaps this is why no one is ever sacked or can be sacked. Everyone is so mired in corruption and deception it would turn into a circular firing squad if anyone pulled the trigger. It explains a lot.
The Michelle Mone case is also not going to help Johnson.
LK manages this:
At the time, it was between Jeremy Hunt and BJ.
The power of the Tory lies and dirty tricks machine.
To some extent, that probably describes me.
BJ for comparison? that's setting the bar pretty low.
Sadly you aren't alone in this thread in that respect. I was very much a lone voice in sticking up for Corbyn.
Corbyn was wise enough to see that broadband had become an essential component of empowering the people to live lives to the full.
The other strand of that is the need for broadband to be physically available to all. Which does seem to have improved somewhat, but we are still not there. If we have commercial implementation of broadband, we need to apply measures to achieve, as nearly as possible, 100% coverage.
Essentials shouldn't have to depend on commercial interests, and broadband is now an essential for full participation in our modern life.
lots of things are essential to life, but they are not free, eg food, water, electricity.
