Yeah.
Another vacancy?
But I think Alexander Boris dePfeffel Johnson's behaviour deserves a thread all of its own.

Her "apology" is a corker:
On Friday 3rd November, the secretary of state was quoted in the Guardian newspaper as follows:
“Boris knew about the visit. The point is that the Foreign Office did know about this, Boris knew about [the trip].”
This quote may have given the impression that the secretary of state had informed the foreign secretary about the visit in advance. The secretary of state would like to take this opportunity to clarify that this was not the case. The foreign secretary did become aware of the visit, but not in advance of it.
“The stuff that is out there is it, as far as I am concerned. I went on holiday and met with people and organisations. As far as I am concerned, the Foreign Office have known about this. It is not about who else I met, I have friends out there.”
This quote may be read as implying that the secretary of state was saying that the meetings that had so far been publicly reported were the only ones which took place on her visit. The secretary of state would like to take the opportunity to correct this impression: she is clear that other meetings also took place on her visit, in addition to those which had been publicly reported at the time of her making these statements. These meetings are outlined below.
The secretary of state regrets the lack of precision in the wording she used in these statements, and is taking this opportunity to clarify the position.

ON her return from her unminuted meetings with a number of people in the Israeli Government Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is facing several allegations of corruption Priti Patel asked that some of the Aid budget should be used to help the Israeli Army in its activities in the Occupied Territories.

So, nobody else in there with Priti for the UK?
I'm not having that. Didn't we only find out about Werrity because his business card said he was an advisor to Fox and raised suspicion?
Fox, Patel and Johnson are all still in jobs. Extraordinary. What a corrupt shitheap this country is.

Incidentally the Holocaust Education Trust invited Andrew Neil to give a speech at its annual dinner, Most of it was an attack on the Labour Party
Given that Neil employed David Irving (yes that David Irving) to translate the Goebbels Diaries and is Chair of the Spectator which employs antisemite and fascist Taki it's a bit fucking much, frankly.

And it would appear Patel's trip was focused on giving aid money –*I'll repeat, aid money – to an army of racist occupation

Christ. If she survives that, then any standard we used to have of public conduct has been lost*.
Also – twelve meetings, while on a holiday with your family? Nicking off to a restaurant for so many clandestine rendezvous while you should be taking care of the kids should be itself be grounds for a sacking.Last edited by diggedy derek; 07-11-2017, 12:46.
