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

[Machiavelli]

It is simply impossible for both of these statements to be true, isn’t it?

1) he did not intentionally mislead Parliament because he did not understand the guidance he was telling everyone else about
2) he is an intelligent man who is capable of making big decisions to lead the country.


If he is so thick that he did not know that guidance was being broken I would not let him loose on a paper round, let alone give him the nuclear codes. Ffs.

It might be the worst thing for the tory party if he did get through this because he will hang around looking for his next shot at power. The tiny rebellion yesterday from the boris fan maniacs on the n.Ireland deal is surely going to empower sunak to take him and the rest of that mob on. Dorries, Patel, JRM, Truss, gullis etc.

Yup. That sums it up extremely well.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Wow. That's a rosta of bell-ends, if ever I saw one. All it needs is Farrage, Hopkins and Julie Burchill for a full house.

Anyway, nobody is interested in perfectly innocent events at number 10. There are far more important issues to worry about than the honour and integrity of government.

I did like one of the replies which simply said "this is like my dream coconut shy"

Don’t drink alcohol folks.

she is an absolute feckin nut job!!

Ofcom need to be give more power. Gbeebies is just pure propaganda, time to start calling out the advertisers funding this...

I suspect it will eventually fail financially when the novelty wears off.

If GBNews is on your favourites list, I suspect you are deeply sensitive to the presenters they use. That's puts them in a difficult position if your average viewer thinks Ken Clarke (for instance) is a communist.

I was wondering what Discovery were doing about it, there were one of the original investors when it looked like a right of centre news channel rather them David Icke TV.

If this story is correct they quietly sold off their share last year at a huge loss.

Losses deepen at GB News as network moves to fend off rival TalkTV

Hiring costs for presenters such as Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg balloon while advertisers stay wary of right-leaning channel

[WATFORD zero]

Which just goes to show, even the greatest Poker players can crack after three and a half hours of his complete and utter drivel

 

[rogersix]

Political back stabbing stitch up if ever there was one

who did what and why?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It doesn't matter if he is acquitted because he persuades the committee that he is the most stupid man to ever sit in parliament.

Like Thierry Henri's hand ball goal in the qualifiers, all everyone will remember is that France went on to win the tournament.

After the acquittal, Boris will sit back ready to resume the role of leader after Sunak loses the next general election.

Unless the committee have the courage and sense of honour to defenestrate him. One chance to drain the Johnson swamp.....my money is on exoneration.

 

[Guinness Boy]

When advertising is perfectly positioned…

 

[Thunder Bolt]

who did what and why?

And to whom?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The comeback is going well for him then.

For all the ills of RT, I would say GBN is far more biased.

 

[rogersix]

And to whom?

you're absolutely right tb, will the plot thicken?

lets hope he goes back to authoring second rate books

The fact that he is not unelectable beggars belief.

The bloke should be utterly toxic, no body touching him. The fact the Tories haven't thrown him out is amazing.

What has happened to the British electorate?

I suppose the question is how deep are their pockets. The Koch brothers and Robert Mercer, for instance, have very deep pockets.
One way to address this is to do something radical about wealth such that a few oligarchs don't have such extremes of wealth that they can spend on distracting the attention of the people away from core issues. Without a sufficient movement behind such a radical manoeuvre, however, we'll probably just bumble along as we are.

What has happened to the British electorate?

They've been watching GB News and reading the Daily Mail

But to be fair, as a group of people, they've never been above following their lowest instincts when they get in the voting booth

In case anybody has forgotten what yesterday's committee hearing was really about
