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

[Thunder Bolt]

He really doesn't put his brain into gear at any time, but says the first thing that comes into his head, unless it wasn't 'accidental',

 

[KZNSeagull]

Don't you have to be reasonably clever to deliberately mislead the HOC?

 

[hart's shirt]

Meanwhile Sunak publishes details of his UK tax affairs.

On a busy news day, the timing's more than a little opportunistic...

harman kicking ass, bungleclunge's face reddens,

i didn't realise he could experience shame

 

[Machiavelli]

Despite confirming that he understood the rules and guidance (which shifted throughout the various phases of lockdown), his defence seems to be that he wasn't told that the numerous parties held in his home and place of work were in breach of the rules and guidance, even though he's admitted to being there (but failing to twig that he understood the rules and guidance yet these events that he attended contravened them).

I don't normally quote myself, but both Costa and Harman picking up on this

I sincerely doubt it's shame. More likely anger.

I would imagine he fully believes what he's saying and that even having to explain himself is beneath him.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Shameful in the extreme that this babbling buffoon was enabled to be ever allowed anywhere near public office at any level, let alone the highest office in the land

He can't. He's furious at being questioned by a woman.

 

[Hamilton]

He's toast!

you're right, it's indignation.

without the eton/oxford education, he would've spent half his life in prison by now

Jenkin in his second round of questioning really got under his skin.

 

[KZNSeagull]

He fully believes that what he told the commons was the truth as he understood it at the time and he is not going to change the record in the house. If they have proof that he deliberately misled the house then we would have heard it by now.
Quite why any constituency would want him as their MP is a mystery but that is another matter entirely.

 

[Flagship]

I love how the last of the few Tory apologists left on here are the unequivocally and demonstrably thick. It paints an interesting picture as to the demographic of anyone currently still willing to put their cross next to a blue rosette.

I said censured and I meant censured. Look it up, it's in the dictionary.

 

[Nobby]

The BEEB getting worried about their funding again

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The BSL interpreter is a star.

what do you think should happen to clampy for his, "plough them all into a ditch" comment?

 

[Flagship]

Well I don't think anything will happen as the moderator says he'll bar me if he has to ban Clampy. I'm not too bothered but I think Clampy would, as he seems to spend a vast amount of his time on here.

No he doesn't.

He believes that the committee is not able to prove that he didn't believe it.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He’s gone for the “I’m really thick” defence. Classic move.

As I noted earlier. The Arnold Judas Rimmer defence.

Except Rimmer was cross when he was acquitted. Johnson will celebrate with a smirk and party.

no, i said, in what way should clampy be censured for the ditch ploughing comment?
