Michael Gove

[Ray Gin]

Not to be outdone by Janey Godley, Michael Gove is the latest public figure in the spotlight:

https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics/19577906.recordings-reveal-string-apparent-sexist-racist-slurs-young-michael-gove/

 

 

"MICHAEL Gove made racist and sexist remarks and joked about paedophilia, new recordings appear to show."

 

"In one speech, the minister described Prince Charles as a “dull, wet, drippy adulterer” while in another he called people whose countries had been colonies by Britain “fuzzy wuzzies”.

 

He accused former Tory minister Leon Brittan of being a paedophile, and made sexual innuendos about Conservative minister Lucy Frazer."

 

"The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster described Margaret Thatcher’s policies as a “new empire” where “the happy south stamps over the cruel, dirty, toothless face of the northerner” and said gay people “thrive primarily upon short-term relations”.

I for one am totally shocked by these revelations. Such a nice man.  

[Victorian]

His boss will be enraged and mortified by historic vile comments and immediate sack him(self).

 

[Morgan]

He’s the greatest dancer.

[Nucky Thompson]

Fecking brilliant 

He's a better comic than Godley

Oh goody! Now that Gove’s a racist it’s ok for Godley to be one!

One's a government minister, one's a comedian. You surely can't he daft enough to compare the two can you? Not that it matters as being racist seems to be a job requirement for tory ministers so no doubt his fellow racist BJ will be delighted

[Roxy Hearts]

He's not the SNP so it's fine!

So the super injunction isn't about his previous comments made then?

Is a 'super injunction' better than a mundane, run-of-the-mill injunction?

I’ve heard worse said about “ the gays” to be fair

One of the funniest things I ever heard was from a gay man. We were having drinks in a bar and one of our group spilled drinks all over the table and some of it landed on my wife's lap. The barman came over and said to her " bet that's the first time you've been moist in a gay bar!" I thought it was a brilliant comment and told him 🤣

People have too much time on their hands, searching people's history. As for Gove, a total weirdo and the other Tory guy must be like, Really. 

Nothing will happen, as no one cares.

Just another on the list of creepy, dangerous Scotsmen, who move to to England.

Not for the people of England. At least we can keep an eye on them up here, being a smaller community.

 

 

Semi seriously.

Exactly in the same spot as yesterday. They can't be touched after Brexit. No one cares, and  with Keir Starmer being  useless and the SNP , too small at WM. It's open season all year round. The libdems are pointless.

It's like a normal injunction (preventing publication of a news story - presumably one that's verifiable, otherwise the libel laws would apply) but it comes attached with an injunction that prevents anyone from revealing that the first injunction exists. As far as I can work out, though, people often get wind of there being a superinjunction and word of that can spread, albeit not through the mainstream media.

 

On the story, I have to say I'm surprised to learn that Michael Gove was as odious in his twenties as he is now.

 

He reminds me (always has) of a Young Conservative when I was at Uni who frequently spoke in student debates about the "values" of Conservatism (this was in Thatcher's time) with overt racist, mysoginistic and homophobic lines. That young conservative was hiding the fact that he is gay - many knew it as, after a few drinks, he'd come on to other chaps. He may still be hiding it or, now that he's in his 50s (if still alive), he may becoming true to himself and leaving his 'beard' wife and setting up home in a same sex relationship with someone much younger than he is. I never kept track.

 

I wonder who's behind the leak?

* Carrie Symonds? Johnson's poll lead is finally slipping and Gove has always been a threat to his leadership (though Sunak's still more likely).

* Sarah Vine ("Mrs Gove") whose Mail articles over the year have shown her to be a heartless whatnot and ever so likely to go bunny boiler when scorned by her man?

* Gove himself thinking that if Johnson can get away with "picaninnies", "tank-topped bum boys"; "hook-nosed Arabs"; "letterboxes" and so much more while getting stupidly high ratings, why shouldn't he have a similar go?

 

I suspect that the conservative party heid yins have a little portfolio on each MP and prospective MP and use it to keep a tight leash. The trouble is that these revelations show Gove to be no worse than the party leader so why should he feel the need to walk?

He's right about Charlie and Brittan though.

During one speech in 1987, Mr Gove said: ‘It may be moral to keep an empire because the fuzzy-wuzzies can’t look after themselves.’
 

He added that Eton College, where the Prime Minister was educated, took the ‘cream of the colonial system’ and turned ‘fettered foreigners’ into ‘gentlemen’.

Often those still in the closet in later life often turn to booze to deal with their repression . Tragic really . Tories ones seem to be the worse for some reason .
