JudyJudyJudy Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 On this thread There seems to be a sense of urgency excitement or anticipation that something might happen in politics very soon regarding BJ and the other crooks . Sorry but I don’t think anything will happen of significance. It’ll blow over yet again within a week or so . Usual . Labour will gain some points in the opinion points ( maybe ) but it’ll be back to the usual mid slinging in the house from both main parties .

It's good to see the public opening their eyes to what a blatant bunch of absolute shysters this government are, but frustrating that it's taken so long. I find myself ranting every day due to thier dictator/mafia like actions How the **** can anyone defend these characters and the contempt they hold for us . ****in insane.

I will stick to my healthy cynicism of all politicians, of all political persuasion thank you very much, its called over 50yrs of experience at the hands of them. Westminster until 1997, and then both Westminster and Holyrood from 1997 to the present day. If in your opinion that makes me an idiot, then I'm happy to carry on being an idiot. I haven't done to badly to date for being one. If that makes you an idiot, then that makes two of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Geoffrey Cox (MP for Torridge and West Devon) has been in the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean for well over a month, helping them stay within the law as regards to their tax haven status. He's been voting in the commons remotely. Earning £150,000 helping a tax haven get around the law instead of representing his constituents.

He's trousered over one million pounds in the last year from his legal practice work. Despite the cluster**** when the shysters were trying to prorogue parliament, he's clearly good at what he does. Earning a large one per year would really make one struggle to get out of bed to deal with constituency matters for a chicken shit £80k.

Cade Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Forgot to mention: The British Virgin Islands are currently under investigation for corruption. So the British Government has allowed a former Attorney General and sitting MP to go there and help them get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think him avoiding scrutiny yesterday in the house was a serious error . Reminded me of how invincible Thatcher thought she was when she swanned away to Paris when there was a vote on her leadership . She thought she would easily win .

It does feel like the last week has changed opinion beyond the Westminster bubble, and not necessarily to Johnson's advantage (copyright Emperor Hirohito) As soon as enough Tory MP's think Johnson is a liability he'll be gone. The next election is still 3 years away, so it might suit them to keep Johnson in the hot seat until closer to the time, then bring in fresh faced Rishi and have the election when he's still in his honeymoon period.

i8hibsh Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I love how the people that get all defensive and talk about class struggles and how dare anyone prejudice anyone based on social class do the exact same thing with those born into serious privilege. BJ is a clown but how the **** is his social class always so relevant with the 'tolerant left'? What difference does it make if our prime minister went to ****ing Eton or not? He can't help his social class as much as someone born into proper working class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former AG and sitting MP for the governing party representing a tax haven in it's case against the same government he's a member of?

SectionDJambo Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 We'll know when Johnson has overstayed his welcome with the Conservative ranks when the media stop calling him Boris. In all my years of any knowledge of the existence of politics, no British PM has ever been continually referred to by his first name, as though he was everyone's slightly embarrassing pal. To me it's a sign that he is regarded as a joke figure who, for some reason, is lauded for acting like a complete bufoon and being a shameless and obvious liar. He only jumped onto the Brexit bandwagon when it became clear to him that that was his surest route to the party leadership. I reckon he'll be emptied before the next election as the old arrogance of power and corruption that cost the Conservatives before will do for them again unless they can use Johnson as a scapegoat. This Paterson fiasco isn't going away anytime soon, especially when some Tory press is keeping it going. If more corruption starts to be exposed, he'll be dumped.

I genuinely think this is going to be as bad as the sleaze accusations. £39Billion to private sector companies : one of them making £1million PER DAY for storing PPE kit in 10,000 shipping containers (hello, isn't there a global shortage of containers ?). The PPE kit has to be stored because it's unusable and the company that supplied it is the same company that's making the million per day.

SectionDJambo Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 It's more likely to be him seeing Sturgeon elbowing her way in there whilst he's nowhere to be seen after his big fanfare at the start. He doesn't like anyone stealing his limelight and photo opportunities, something that Sturgeon will be very happy to do, even if it means he'll be exposing himself to the prospect of more uncomfortable questions from the media about the shenanigans of the last week or so. Even the right wing press have got their tackity boots on over this latest round of lies and deceit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
