Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister


Recommended Posts

The officials at the ports may still continue to make checks, as they have to comply with the law.

 

Poots can make an announcement,  but cannot change law.

It's a tough one for the civil servants in charge of this, and the port workers. I'll be interested to see what happens.

 

Peston asked Brandon Lewis if this was a stitch up between the DUP and the Tories and he denied it.

Johnson daren't trigger a trade war with the EU over NI until thats the only thing he has left in an attempt to hang on to power, and using it would almost certainly end him anyway.

 

So he's happy to let the DUP run spoilers  ... however ineffective.

DUP probably not going to be in any way significant shortly, and then NI may well end up ahead of Scotland in the UKexit stakes.

 

None of the current UK cabinet are fit to hold office, let alone run a country IMO

Two Brexit-related articles here. George Monbiot thinks the Bexit Freedoms Bill is one-sided and that the freedoms won't be for ordinary people.

 

WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM

The wealthy ghouls who fund the Tory party expect their quid pro quo – and this legislation will deliver it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

 

Chris Grey has looked at the Benefits of Brexit paper and his headline assessment is 'Chris Grey looks at the untruths, half truths and vague aspirations of the 102 page report on the benefits of leaving the EU, and discovers a ministerial power grab and a glaring failure to account for any of the costs'

 

https://bylinetimes.com/2022/02/01/fundamentally-meaningless-the-governments-brexit-benefits-paper/

 

 

 

The freedoms are for existing money VIPals to be free of regulations, requirements and taxation

... and everybody else to be 'free' of any rights or even drinkable water - except via a bottle sold by some VIPal - if you can afford it.

It won't come as a surprise that Johson still hasn't paid his share of the Garrick Club dinner three months ago, organised by Charles Moore and where it's suspected Owen Paterson's problems at the time were discussed.

 

Stephen Glover of The Oldie has said that the PM is the only guest who hasn't paid his share and Glover also picked up the tab for three policemen of the security detail who ate sirloin steaks at his expense. The last paragraph in this article.

and thats where he flew back from COP in a private plane to foment the corrupt attempt to protect his corrupt pal wasn't it ..

 

Seems Russian plans to invade Ukrane is on hold as Truss' cunning plan to confuse the Russians on where Ukrane actually  is partially worked ..

 

The Russian soldiers all wet their pants laughing and have got to wait for replacement underwear.

 

Its reported the 300,000 pairs of fresh underwear should arrive with the Russian soldiers at the Ukrainian border just as Truss's two jeeps and a squad arrive in Stockholm to reinforce Ukrainian forces ...

I don't remember a day like this, maybe ever.

 

The head of the policy unit and the comms chief at no10 have both resigned, so has the first minister of NI and Johnson and Patel have been told off by the head of the ONS [again] for getting figures wrong, this time on crime.

 

What next?

Apparently, the civil servants who are being thrown to the dogs by Johnson after they attended his parties have been advised to 'join a union'

Attempt to get union legal support etc at real union member expense I believe

 

The rats are starting to swim for it.

 

'Oh my God, this PM who has left kids hungry, thrown thousands and thousands into food poverty, broken the nation and declared scurrilous lies about anyone and anything his whole career while wasting taxpayer money by the BILLION has this week managed to say something to offend even me and its nothing to do with the scurrilous ship sinking ....

Boris Johnson's claim that Sir Lynton Crosby is returning to his side was, I hear, a great surprise not just to him (in Australia, where he is staying for family reasons), but everyone in No10 too. Crosby and Johnson talk from time to time on the phone as friends, but that's it.

It's been pointed out that when the police report is eventually released [if] and there's a fresh wave of outrage, he'll have no one left to sacrifice.

 

From David Henig on Twitter 'A leader on the rise tells people they're out when he already has their replacements ready to announce. A falling leader loses folk to resignation and pretends it was their plan all along.'

But he will have replacements and some who would never leave, as no one else would have them

 

Raab, patel and Dorris for starters

... and theres always Cress as fuel for the bonfire of law and rights and common decency ... Very apt - but err no, she probably knows far too much.

 

 

Wonder if Starmer was supporting her because he has an idea of who would be next ... or scared of the fallout

- I hope and expect its the former.

 

 

A little thought:

* How many disadvantaged and innocent kids did Monster Saville abuse?

* How many disadvantaged and innocent kids have the Tories forced into food poverty through choice when they could have easily and quite cheaply prevented it?

Not that even one of either is in any way acceptable or forgivable in anything claiming to be a decent society

You mean a handful of civil servants given fixed penalty notices maybe, none of which detail will be released due to 'privacy of the people involved' which will completely gut any meaning out of the report?

 

and thats if a lack of evidence, including from the met officers securing those parties simply means -passed to CPS and insufficient evidence, with the met excusing it as 'everybody knows we are corrupt when investigating ourselves or criminals/politicians with power/money so jog on or we'll investigate you

 

In real terms, England has become a failed state.

Well, the Tories hung on to Southend West, in a very low turnout, being as Lab, Lib and Greens showed respect for the prior real Tory by not competing

 

but the results are worth a glance

With no Lab, Lib or Green candidates and a very low turnout which normally favors the radicals and nuts

 

- Anna Firth (Conservative party) 12,792 (86.10%)

- Jason Pilley (Psychedelic Movement) 512 (3.45%)

 

- Steve Laws (Ukip) 400 (2.69%)  <-

- Catherine Blaiklock (English Democrats) 320 (2.15%)

 

 

UKIP and 'English Democrats' (a misnomer if there ever was one) were both  quite significantly beaten by the 'Psychdelic Movement' party
