Technically true. They'll be more likely to provide the minister(s) responsible with executive "jobs" for themselves, their families, and friends. It's a form of money laundering, when you think about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 4 hours ago, The Skelpit Lug said: Well, this is some top Tory work right here. Of all the things that could be done to help millions suffering in the middle of a cost of living crisis, this: "Jeremy Hunt defends pension tax giveaway for rich, saying it will lead to people getting NHS operations more quickly." Never mind that his argument makes absolutely no sense, 'The Office for Budget Responsibility said yesterday the policy would only lead to an extra 15,000 people staying in work. When this figure was put to Hunt, he said he did not accept it." Tories gonna Tory. The whole thing about senior NHS consultants could be solved by changing the rules that make superannuation payments compulsory on NHS contracts. Not saying that's the best solution but it is a possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 John Beattie interviewed Rory Bremner on Newsdrive just before the budget. Bremner said that for an impressionist, Chancellor and unfortunate rhyming slang Heremy Junt was difficult to do because he had no distinguishing features or behaviours at all. But I think there's something distinctly Anthony Perkins/Norman Bates about him. I don't think he ever blinks and I bet he trails a whiff of formaldehyde wheever he goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 It's looking like Braverman visited a new housing estate rather than the new detention centre. Did she not think this was going to come out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she not think this was going to come out? This can, and will, be held up as evidence of their great humanitarian immigration policy, by people who couldn't care less if anyone sent to Rwanda is ever seen alive again, and most of their voters will never know any different. You can't expect psychopaths to adhere to notions of morality when they experience no punishment for not doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 This unelected cove was interviewed by Martin Geisler on telly on Sunday morning. On telly he looked even more like a comedy sketch character. Could barely string together a coherent sentence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Offord 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Lee Anderson is to be paid £100k per annum to host a GB News show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 While the corrupt shambles that is Johnson was lying through his teeth in a high profile committee today, the Tories have taken the chance to try to force through suspicionless stop and search. Shit Malthouse says that we need it because police might find glue in someone's pocket and that would stop them gluing themselves to a road. Sounds proportionate to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we paid our MPs £100,000 per annum more, they wouldn't be forced to take on extra "jobs" like this in order to pay the bills. How else are we supposed to retain world-class talent like Lee Anderson? We're lucky he hasn't quit to take on a better-paid job more commensurate to his immense ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could get a couple of pissed arseholes from a Margate Pub to spout the same bollocks that he'll come out with. Interestingly enough Anderson said that the Tories would fight the next election on the Culture Wars, no doubt droning on about small boats , trans people and Johnny Forriner coming to steal your biscuits all laced up in some casual racism. In a time when many are more worried about how they'll pay their Gas Bill and Mortgages going up its easy to see why they are way behind in the polls an on target to lose badly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I see the Tories now plan to house refugees at disused military facilities. The entire Tory manifesto has been distilled down to "we'll make sure the sort of people you don't like, are as uncomfortable as possible". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Absolutely crazy that 3 senior members of the cabinet and the most senior back bencher can't wait to be coining in thousands with absolutely no due diligence carried out. If this is what a small team of journalists can carry off what can foreign security services uncover with a but more professionalism. Surely they have to change how this country has been run after the trials and tribulations of the last 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they absolutely have to change the rules Covid has shown the sheer nonsense of the system. Hopefully some of the folk in the LbD expose have used Parliamentary offices to conduct these meetings and end up flung out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would depend on your definition of wrong. IMO whoring themselves out to the highest bidder compromises their impartiality but it is not against the rules per se. I think it should be. Same with party donations. How can people believe that donors are just being generous? They expect something back for their cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarHibee Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Hancock will be PM sometime down the line, campaigning on "that guy who was in the jungle" and a nation full of thickos voting for him as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
