Harvest Why do people call him Boris? I don't get it. He's not some big cuddly bear. Imagine when Major was in charge and being referred to as John or Callaghan as Jim. I'm sure he loves it and sees it as being everyone's mate. The cunt.
cordshoes Harvest I dont. In the words of the great Hughie Green...."if you can't remembe the name, just put bumbling buffoon and we'll know who you mean".

I’m sure he loves it and sees it as being everyone’s mate. The cunt. If he was referred to as the cunt it would be confusing with Blair still around. "Lying cunt" would just make the confusion worse. You'd have to go all the way to "Blond lying cunt" but that's too many words, so it's easier just to change the meaning of "Boris" to "cunt".
Foxy_Dread I wonder if the govt has got the administering of the vaccine right. I'd be happier if they followed the manufacturer's recommendation on the second dose timing. We shall see.
hendersonjones The leaks and text messages have come from Dominic Cummings 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 actually it’s not funny it’s really serious what a circus of two faced twats
heyho hendersonjones Yes I can see the funny side. But to the letter of the IG law he could face a prison stretch if they decide to flex their muscles. More likely it wont go anywhere (why bring out your dirty washing) or else a suspended sentence and a fine. Which gets overturned on appeal. Most tasty IG breaches are corporate affairs anyway and the organisation gets fined (and the individual, especially in the NHS shown the back door)
heyho Foxy_Dread Foxy. What parties do you have over in the Isle of Mann. And is there ever any gossip
space Foxy_Dread Tony Blair is your Thatcher. Thatcher's my Thatcher. And Blair is a lying cunt. I have enough disdain for both of them.
Foxy_Dread space in future current affairs threads we can bet on who comes up first Thatcher or Blair, about an even money bet (no margins) I reckon.
space Foxy_Dread in future current affairs threads we can bet on who comes up first Thatcher or Blair, about an even money bet (no margins) I reckon. The difference being that Blair was relavent to this thread because he was in the news and on TV making direct comment on what was currently being discussed, whereas Thatcher hasn't been prime minister for over 30 years and is fucking dead. But whatever mate.

Travis_Bickle The response seems to suggest that, in Cameron's view, as long as you don't gain financially, there's nothing wrong in making direct approaches on behalf of school chums who will gain financially. All of the rules about due process and procedure don't count it seems. It's a sign of where we're at that none of this surprises anyone or appears to concern them.

There are defintely government rules on procurement and the tender process. Is any of it not actual enforcable law?
doggybag Exactly, it's the "concern" bit that gets my goat too. Everywhere you look, they're at it. Asset stripping, Tax evasion, NDAs, sexual misconduct, abuse of wealth and power to slam innocent working people. And what happens? Sweet FA.
