They'll get a hearing and that's about it. Forget the Special Relationship, that's done. You don't get away with cheap insults at Obama and then threatening to stamp all over the NI peace process for your cult Brexit and racist followers and think you're gonna get a trade deal from an Irish American President and a party whose Irish American senators have repeatedly sent out warning signals.

Granny Danger Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I see Arcuri is now admitting they had an affair. What happened to the London LA investigation that was put into abeyance until the IOPC investigation was concluded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Looking at recent polling, the average British (English) voter has chosen to ignore the absolute incompetence of the Tory government and the total corruption that has taken place since the pandemic. Tory supporters making millions from this national tragedy and failing miserably to deliver. We need to extricate ourselves from such idiocy at the earliest opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Looking at recent polling, the average British (English) voter has chosen to ignore the absolute incompetence of the Tory government and the total corruption that has taken place since the pandemic. Tory supporters making millions from this national tragedy and failing miserably to deliver. We need to extricate ourselves from such idiocy at the earliest opportunity. It’s depressing isn’t it. But that’s what years of the gutter press and dumbing down of the media and culture in general have done.I like to think we have a slightly more politically astute population in Scotland and feel that the 2014 referendum at least got people here to engage more with politics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 This weeks Podlitical podcast with Prof Curtis is worth a listen. He summed up BJ saying he is not one for details and always over promising, therefore almost setting himself up to fail. Looks like he will never learn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 This weeks Podlitical podcast with Prof Curtis is worth a listen. He summed up BJ saying he is not one for details and always over promising, therefore almost setting himself up to fail. Looks like he will never learn. Yes, and this isn't an academic point. When you continually over-promise, or let's call it for what it is, lie, then people will simply blank you. Which would be fine in Johnson's case except for the fact that he is head of the UK Government in the teeth of a pandemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 12 minutes ago, MixuFruit said: I sometimes have to issue and evaluate tenders for work and always find it a painful finicky process making sure I've properly evaluated every aspect of each bid fairly. And that's for £10000, £20000 contracts. But the amount of blatant profiteering that has gone on with all these no bid covid contracts makes it clear how essential a proper auditable framework is for spending public money. There is a public body that theoretically audits all public contracts but it's completely underfunded and toothless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really? That's how I remember the Tories in the Nineties. Between the constant corruption and shagging anything that moved, it was an absolute relief to be rid of them for a while. Seems pretty standard so far. Maybe the policy has always been to demonstrate how wasteful Big Government is by siphoning off as much money from it as possible. They're doing us all a favour, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories in the nineties were amateurs compared to this lot. Billions wasted on test and trace, billions handed out for barely existing PPE companies run by Tory donors. There has been nothing like this since the 18th century. 14 minutes ago, BigFatTabbyDave said: Maybe the policy has always been to demonstrate how wasteful Big Government is by siphoning off as much money from it as possible.
