:tories: Tories in trouble?

I think this sort of stuff is counter-productive.

Murder basically means it was proved someone meant to kill someone. Whether short-term, or long-term, if you mean to do it, it’s murder.

This is indifference on a grand scale. This is incompetence on a grand scale. It isn’t murder, literal or otherwise.

Sounds dangerously like politicians should be well off so as to be incorruptible

Millionaires need only apply

I disagree. You can reasonably argue that anyone on a PM’s salary should be able to manage life’s financial burdens.

Why can’t Boris?

Six kids, a divorce, a high maintenance missus and Etonian tastes .

You are getting fuck all change out of a PM salary with that lot

Which speaks to Cummings’ point about him being unfit for PM.

He is. He always was. His record of Deputy Mayors in London, contrasting articles on the EU referendum, show him to be a man of few political convictions and fewer true political allies.

I agree that in the ideal, personal proclivities should not be taken into account, but when they potentially affect judgement, they’re a real problem.

Cummings realised this. The only reason Hancock hasn’t gone yet is because he’s the Space Invaders shield protecting Boris.

It’s all relevant.
I struggled to survive on $250k +++ back in the days with kids in Dubai.
Now I struggle on £2,500.
But strangely I ate & drank well in both situations & still did crazy shit & avoided handouts.
But Boris would struggle if he was Bezos and still seek “sponsorship”

Behave Pap you know what I meant. You jumping on this like I meant it as genuine murder is also counter productive.

End.

You said literal murder.

Jamie Redknapp once said a player was literally on fire.

He wasn’t right. Neither are you.

And you don’t know when to stop when it really doesn’t matter what you or I think. Attempts to score points on here is, well pointless.

That could be a good name for a TV Show.

I think precision is important.

I know media exposure can corrupt this.

Take “ironic”, for example. No fucker knows what it means anymore.

Lol - We’re all fucking snowflake these days - and I bet I got the context of that wrong in what I meant to say too :roll_eyes::wink:

Most of us on here probably are so old we immediately reckon irony is something that is heavy and feels like metal…ironylike

It strikes me that the Good Law Project are this country’s Covid ‘wikileaks’. Will we see Jolyon Maugham banging on the door at the Ecuadorian Embassy?

Not sure - but he is certainly anti-government

Another thought - whilst the Good Law Project is not for profit, how much of the £500k of legal fees they spend a year ends up in Julian Maughan’s pocket

Yes he is, but we need some sort of opposition surely- do you not think so?

Of course the money raised is going to pay for his time. Bizarre to think otherwise. Am I genuinely missing something in your argument?

You are in business, I have no idea about your company but would you like me to come and run it? I’m dead cheap though tbf.

Oh Johnson and his exoneration of fiddling the funding of his flat renovations, from the BBC

“… Lord Geidt also said that “in the middle of a pandemic”, Mr Johnson “simply accepted” that a trust he was hoping to set up to handle the Downing Street work “would be capable of satisfactorily resolving the situation without further interrogation”…”

He “hoped to set up a trust to handle…the work” and “would be capable of satisfactorily resolving the situation without further interrogation"

WTAF - is no one going to question this? Why would you set up a trust to decorate your flat and why would you hope it would therefore avoid further scrutiny?

The UK public fobbed off again with no rigorous scrutiny/ questioning?!??

That’s Alanis Morisette’s fault.

Good point.
Someone should mention that on Twitter.
Oh.

I’m going to appeal a 1986 speeding ticket for 36 mph in a 30 mph zone as it was clearly only a minor offence
