Strewth to Power. Mischief to Wisdom. Integrity, but only as long as I can keep it together.

Glad that you have a somewhat better attitude than your colleague.
Is he going to be suspended or does he have to kneel down first?

The beauty is that he keeps it so deadpan at the beginning that they don’t see the obvious til it’s too late.

Technically not an act of war any more than Russia selling planes and weapons to numerous other countries over the years.

It‘s a novel twist that the ERG are now the anti-Americans.
They’re just the drunk outside the late night chip shop looking for a fight now aren’t they?

Isn’t that pretty much the point. They can use up the stocks that would be disposed of anyways.
So very good bang for buck.

I come from a different political background to you, but if you’re getting that sort of reaction you must be doing something right.
Good luck, stay tough.
Hell if I could I’d vote for you myself.

Has she thought of just asking her to go?
Ms Truss will normally just accept any deal offered to her.

Has the train driver taken a pay cut and bought the train, the station or land around it?

We don’t create despots. The vote is lent to you in good faith that you will respect it.
If you break the law, if you disrespect parliament, and if you choose to ignore the moral indignation of your own constituents you have no mandate.

The reason Morgan Stanley gave up trying to farm in the Ukraine was basically because everything got nicked. 😂

Too true.
We’re getting closer to the moment when he chooses which way he goes and you can sense the hard liners manoeuvring to pounce if it’s not the way they want, but with Pelosi’s Irish statement and now the developing situation in the US they look increasingly marginalised.

It’s certainly a wide and dangerously unqualified statement by him if untrue.
Quite clearly the Revenue of which he sits at the top treat family members as connected persons irrespective of whether they are politicians or not, so that line at least doesn’t really hold.

What level of social incompetence do you have to reach to write a letter like that?

I’m hardly a socialist, but on a small point of order, actually we do have a state run health service available free at the point of use.
She’s been here a while, so not entirely sure how she can’t have noticed?

So essentially this is an advert of Mr Johnson creeping about the streets at night, arranging to **** somebody’s wife, or am I taking it too literally.

Also this commuting long distances to work is a relatively new thing (last 30 years or so) especially in rural areas, and which brought with it traffic congestion, so why not reverse those problems?

Ms Purkiss has absolutely taken his argument apart.
In the end all he can resort to is his support for Brexit, after accusing her of being the one that was biased by it. 🙃

Much of the EU’s position doesn't appear to be a surprise to anybody else so it is a strange use of language.

Supporting Brexit wasn’t a crime, so it doesn’t carry a life sentence.

When this war began they kept on pointing out that Zelenskyy was a comedian.

So they voted down a deal twice, deposed Mrs May and drove out a number of moderate Conservatives because those deal details were so terribly important, but then did a deal where the details didn’t matter to them at all?
Trying to remember what that civil service post said?

I don’t know much about their genuine level of intelligence, or possibly more than I want to, but I do know that the Secretary of State for Education doesn’t actually have to teach.

No they’re comparing to the French model which is highly state subsidised while trying to make a case for a US model which would be a disaster.
The NHS needs effective management, not tearing apart.

Could you argue that the nature of his protest hasn’t changed and that since it hasn’t prevented those organisations from going about their business it can’t be said to be doing so?

This issue around sources seems very simple to solve.
You keep them anonymous protecting their identity until they lie to you, at which point you publicly name them.

You’re not sorry, because you tried to label farmers as far right as soon as they showed concern for the expropriation of Welsh farmland for forestry.

It’s one thing when you say “According to a no.10 source”, but since when do we have government websites saying “A government spokesman said”?
They are the government.
Since when have they been anonymous?

Yes, while continuing to ignore the fact that unlike the three other individuals who’ve now resigned he actually thought he might be potentially infectious.
So in reality his case is in a whole different league.

His response doesn’t really work without a jeering crowd of supporters to mindlessly back it up.

It suggests they were being made to talk by their Russian captors, so possibly some were even tortured into making false statements.
As with all misinformation more truths are to be found in in what isn’t being said than in what is.
So potentially a Russian cover up.

Was this leading us to a promised land or parting the Irish Sea as an alternative to building a bridge?

So with reference to the Brian May documentary.
I sat in a dark room and quietly watched it so as to consider the arguments that it might make.
I still don’t know what new information it imparted or breakthrough discovery he had made?
It was an ego trip and nothing more.

You might as well paint Belarus in too.
Of course it again makes the point that Putin who is supposedly all about restoring historical boundaries has no problem holding on to Kaliningrad.

Isn’t it about time we found some of the people who pay for this and get them to explain exactly why?

He’s the guy every builder meets looking at a roof or standing on the edge of a site, shaking his head and telling them why they’re doing it all wrong.

Remember how the Norman families split the allegiance of their sons between England and France during the early Anglo/French conflicts so that they would survive whatever the outcome. 🤔

The thing about both tax planning and bollard avoidance is that in swerving the issue at hand lots of people will crash into other obstacles.

Er…I don‘t know which century you think we’re still living in, but we don’t rule the seas, we’re not an Empire, and we do have to take account of differing views.

Scab mites which are truly nasty things live in the sheep’s ears thus the need for the head to go under, but ministry requirement was swim them in the tank for a minute and then dunk the head at least once.
I think that looks like somebody had a not so bright idea.

Apparently if it’s standard practice now for a government to gang up on a named individual, why not just send the thought police around to his house for a word.
