8MileBU Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 48 minutes ago, Honest_Man#1 said: Could it be that Dominic Cummings or Boris Johnson is @8MileBU? Either that or they are taking his advice and are just going to brass neck it until everyone just accepts that whilst they’re c***s, they can’t be gotten rid of. I hope it goes less successfully for the Tories than it has for 8Mile on here. That’s absolutely no way to be speaking to a member of the all-conquering and triumphant Fun Party btw! You young man are a Tory-backbencher personified. Inoffensive for much of the time, but compelled to cheerlead like an absolute buffoon whilst some utter dross lead from the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they not just let the same one get rag dolled all day, so will be Jenrick unless the story of him giving out favourable contracts is a bit hot for the tories and they might make a substitute with the one who sounds like a play away presenter, more importantly which scientist will stay with the shiteshow as they are now getting lined up for the fall. Hopefully Jenny in the Block as she's been an apologist throughout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Essentially I'm not surprised at BJ supporting Cummings, the PM is no stranger to a convenient lie, but I'm amazed he's got the rest of the Cabinet to go along with him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they all have a track record of saying anything to keep themselves in a job, but it has been ridiculous this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Cummings was Gove's advisor during his spell as Education Secretary; a spell which was a complete and utter disaster. He has plenty to fear from Cummings from that, I imagine. It wouldn't take much from Cummings, who has no qualms about such things, to burn him into the earth. The rest, however... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Wishart is going after him, and he's blustering like it's PMQs, just repeating the line that a lot of the stories from the weekend were untrue. They don't get that people are just as angry, if not more, about the absolute fucking disaster that was his "clarifying of the matter" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really have a clue if it's true but if you want to persuade people even on this forum you probably want to link to sources that aren't roundly dismissed for advancing a pretty consistent line of pish over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
