Tory Corruption thread

[Etienne]

Right on cue, the craven Tory apologist cadre in the BBC London newsroom state Liz Truss is first female foreign secretary

Falsely, as it was Margaret Beckett.

(Sorry. That was my point. Apologies for not making it clear)

[Etienne]

Yes, I assumed you knew that but just wanted to make it explicit.

[Guy Profumo]

Now culture secretary, and Nadhim Zahawi becomes education minister.

Will the racist filth at US Immigration still denying him entry to the country should he wish to visit?

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

All these absolute fuckwits being installed make Gove look like a brain surgeon in comparison. This worries me.

[Eggchaser]

Dear Boris is shoring up his position by keeping his enemies in the tent, whilst ensuring none of the other dunderheads are able to do anything that challenges his position, if only due to their rank stupidity.

That isn't a sentence, but the Executive Order (from early 2017) I think Guy is referencing was a) largely unenforced at the time, b) legally dubious and c) has been rescinded.

Laddo on Sky News saying :

Gove's new department is to be renamed, and it is rumoured that they are calling it the "Department of Levelling Up"

Its remit will extend into some of what is currently devolved

[Toby Gymshorts]

We* are truly getting the government we deserve.

*Well, y'know.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

...unless Williamson fancies thumbing through his red book from his Chief Whip days.

come on, you know he's just drawn a cartoon cock and balls on every page.

[Eggchaser]

As long as they are ejaculating loads of spunk, I think we are all happy with that.

Hopefully the World's Most Divorced Man will overdo the gak and pegs it before he undoes devolution completely and/or restarts "the Troubles".

I've just become aware that Nadine Dorries writes fiction. Furthermore that this fiction is basically all about Irish people living in Liverpool who are all stereotypes drinking Guinness and eating potatoes with the gift of the gab and saying begorrah, so they are.

I don't get the impression that these books are likely to be troubling the Booker Prize jury any time soon

[ooh aah]

Ah but once the government introduces new guidlines to promote more appropriate 'British' literature, she'll be a front runner for the 2022 prize

Bumping this for the Owen Paterson case and the Tories whipping their MPs to legalise corruption .

Owen Paterson: Tory MP's allies seek to save him from sleaze punishment - BBC News

[DCI Harry Batt]

That's really rotten BBC spin, it isn't "Tory MP's allies" it's government whips doing this, on behalf of the government.

[Sunderporinostesta]

I’m coming around to capital punishment……though for very different reasons to these tory bastards.

Tory scum. Truly. Disgusting disgraceful cunts.
