[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

I'll have you know that our glorious buffoon of a leader has just recorded a 90 second video AND tweeted it out. It probably took another 10 minutes or so to put his shirt, jacket and tie on - can't see below so he may be in his PJ bottoms or budgie smugglers.
So give him a break, he deserves a holiday or two after all that exertion.
It looks suspiciously like it was recorded at Chequers, rather than the pressroom-folly at no 10, so well done him for taking the opportunity to finish his premiership in the manner to which we have all become accustomed to seeing him. Taking advantage, freeloading and behaving like the complete, lazy, obnoxious tw@t he is.
May he get everything he deserves - and the sooner the better.

To be fair, I don't think the 'zombie' or non existent Government of the last 2 months has done anywhere near as much damage as the preceding 'Government' of the last 2.5 years. I think it may even prove historically, to be a political highspot between what he have just had and what we are going to get
Talking of damage and what John Major said above. Look at this today.
Surrey Police arresting the press photographers now.

In case you think it might be mistaken identity or over zealous police, look at this. The NUJ are already on to it.

I was just going to post the Guardian story about this: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2...tive-tory-party-agent-shaping-bbc-news-output
Well said Emily. Lets hope that her lead is followed by some of those still employed who know that their own professional integrity is at stake, and should know better than to acquiesce, eh Kirsty?

Worth adding that:
-- a certain poster has been documenting the BBC's Tory bias under Davie
-- the BBC has banned Mick Lynch from appearing on their platform, acknowledging his ability to convey a message. Will other union leaders be treated similarly during the prospective winter of discontent?

Turning into mini Russia.
The ***** are looking down on us . . . Dare I say, even Thatcher would frown.
Jumpin Jack Flash lyrics are scarily close to reality now, here.

I see Truss is already getting loose lipped about nuclear Armageddon. She’s dangerously stupid. I said this back when she was first getting involved in Ukraine, way before she was even thought of as PM.
She is mentally incompetent and should be nowhere near an office of power. Let alone PM.

Unlikely, nasty people rarely get their comeuppance - the world doesn't work that way.
He will probably be given some lucrative non-executive director roles by his Tory chums where he can toddle in every so often and give the board the benefit of his extensive wisdom and experience

The current Tory party treats everything like some kind of game safe in the knowledge that they are individually insulated from any consequences and can use their media to fool people into swallowing their own version of reality whatever happens. However she takes this to new levels of irresponsibility.
Listening to Nicky Campbell now....caller after caller complaining the Johnson has been badly treated and was doing a great job. Doing the right thing for the right reasons (in Ukraine). One bloke, half an hour or so, launched a bitter attack on the "Labour-supporting" BBC and accused Campbell of running a campaign against Johnson when he should instead be attacking Blair over "the war in Iraq".
There are some very odd people around, willing to shape a soothing narrative that confirms their biases, leaving the facts untouched and untroubled. Weird, and sad. Especially given they have a vote that has the same weight as my own

The whole point about nuclear weapons is we have them and we never discuss the circumstances that would lead to their deployment. Keep everyone guessing. They have no value if you make a list of exactly when and how you'd use them.
She doesn't seem to understand anything. This is exactly how I would expect a former pro-cannabis Liberal to talk after opting to grasp a right wing agenda for nothing more than a venal race to personal glory. Say anything. Get angry about cheese, if necessary

It makes you miss Dave Cameron, so bad it is. At least he had diplomatic skills. Its gone off a cliff since he ran away. In fairness to Thickie, it was an over-egged question but she completely fukked her response. No surprise there. The applause was a bit strange given the low quality question and answer.

That question and her response reminds me of his classic.
