When the media is 60-70 to 30-40 and don't challenge the rubbish he puts out and those that believe the yellow press without question it's difficult for the progressives to get the message passed the the far right wing. The only thing he's doing is corrupting British politics and fanning the flames of hate.

Once again, Peter Oborne (a far right Tory who voted Leave but who has been horrified by the consequences) calls it bang right.

https://mobile.twitter.com/UKDemockery/status/1187167075820802048

A generation of lightweight "senior political editors" in the media are being ruthlessly played by Cummings.

The job of the media is to investigate and interrogate, to find truth and to provide it to the public in easy-to-digest mouthfuls.

Peston and Kuennsberg haven't got a clue how to do that.

So they get WhatsApp messages from Cummings and repeat them, as though they were Deep Throat.

It doesn't seem to dawn on them that Cummings is playing them. Getting his thoughts and tricks out to 10 million people in a few minutes, undiluted by critical journalistic appraisal.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that by the end of this decade, we'd be looking to a political writer in the Daily Mail to show us how political reporting should be done in a democratic society, because the BBC had lost its soul and it's professionalism ...

Oborne is a lot more critical than that. Peston, Kuennsberg, Marr, Shipman all know they are being played but they continue to play the game so they get privileged access to No10 - and the viewers/clicks this brings.

Channel 4 refuse to play the game, are critical, and are refused access.

They seek it here, they seek it there, those parliamentarians seek it everywhere.

Is it in heaven? Or is it in hell? That damned elusive Brexit bill.

An old farmer was getting his hand stitched up after an accident at his farm.

He and the doctor start into conversation, which leads into politics and ultimately Brexit.

The old farmer explained, "Well, as I see it, some politicians are 'Post Turtles'."

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked what a 'post turtle' was.
 
The old farmer explained as best he could, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle on top, that's a 'post turtle.'

The doctor remained puzzled. The farmer continued further.

"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb arse put him there to begin with."
 
 
Sums up our PM perfectly.   :evil:

They seek votes her, they seek votes there
They seek votes f**king everywhere
And if with the result they don't agree
They seek to make it best of three.


But wait a minute that's not quite true
If they win the second vote, that will do
Forget the draw, the vote is new
let's just say it's the best of two!

You were alive in 75
you could run a mile and still dance n Jive

Remain it voted 66
Leave just 33
No great outcry or tricks from likes of thee and me
but there was if you were a Tory MP
so a 2nd Remain now will still mean best of three !

But if results aren't being carried out
What is the point when they've got no clout?
Objecting is one thing, it's expected from the left
but you can't rejoin summet that you haven't yet left.

If he's on his own that would be fine
but as for his clique, I draw the line
just his own thoughts, mind, no media shite
just him alone, with no Guardian in sight.

Grenfell :-

Boris Johnson shut 10 Fire Stations, cut 30 Fire Engines and 500 Firefighters..
When he was challenged about what the consequences were he said “OH!! Get stuffed” Tory Austerity cuts, cheap cladding Who’s to blame for Grenfell..Ask the Prime Minister..

Oh dear, just when I was starting to like him 😊

''Boris Johnson was aware there was a potential conflict of interest in his relationship with Jennifer Arcuri, the US businesswoman has claimed, on the eve of the publication of an inquiry into how she secured a £100,000 government grant.''

I suppose she would say that wouldn't she bp?

because:  _____ _____ _____ _____ 😃

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/30/boris-johnson-knew-of-potential-conflict-of-interest-says-jennifer-arcuri

Sorry I missed this gem in my rush to get the days news out:

''Arcuri, who went to business school with Hayes, was the co-director of his startup company Title X Technology. Arcuri told Bloomberg that she had told Johnson how upset she was at Hayes being prosecuted after his arrest in 2012. She recalls the then mayor saying: “Look Jennifer, the world is full of bad men, be careful.”''

You would have thought by now that Johnson's handlers would have realised that its not a good idea for him to meet members of the public - especially if they work in the NHS

Anyway. I assume he'll be taking the pearl-handled revolver to a nearby ditch in the next couple of hours. I mean. It wouldn't be like him to go back on his word would it?

I don't think he's out of the ditch yet, better keep the derringer handy.

''Jennifer Arcuri: £100k grant was 'appropriate', says government report''

Findings labelled a ‘whitewash’ after failing to mention that friend of Boris Johnson moved to US

''The Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA) launched a review after it was revealed that Jennifer Arcuri’s company, Hacker House, had been given the cyber-skills grant intended for UK-operating businesses in January even though she and her husband had relocated to California last year.

The report, published on Thursday by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, makes no reference to the fact that Arcuri and her business partner husband, Matthew Hickey, live in the US. It was immediately labelled a “whitewash” by Labour’s deputy leader, Tom Watson.''

''In her application form explaining what her firm intended to use the funds for, Arcuri wrote that she wanted the cash to fund her “hands-on hacking” course “to build out the ‘Netflix of security’”.

In September, after it emerged that Hacker House was facing an investigation over its eligibility for the grant, the Guardian discovered that the company had hastily set up a new “virtual” office in London.''

ere wot's dat smell, I fink I'll apply for some dough (I missed out on the Royal Mail hand outs) as it appears your company doesn't have to be operating in the UK or explain in any detail what it does.

What was the money spent on? how many Britons were employed or trained?

Johnson delivers a rousing message to England Rugby team ahead of the world cup final tomorrow. England rugby stars deliver a much shorter message back:

I notice Johnson was on tv again this morning apologising for not leaving the EU on 31st October. Apparently this was due to the Benn Act.

The Benn Act passed through the HoC on 3rd-4th September. It was in the HoL on 5th September when Johnson gave his speech in Morley saying he would die in a ditch if we hadn't left the EU on 31st October.

So, did Johnson deceive the country on 5th September by telling people we would be leaving when he knew we wouldn't?

Or did he deceive the country this morning by saying it was the Benn Act that stopped us leaving when he had continued to say we would leave, in fact emphasised even more strong that we would leave, AFTER he knew the Benn Act would pass?

Or did he just change his mind again? He changes his mind a lot this Johnson bloke.

I wonder if Boris would have dared do it if England had been playing Wales instead of South Africa.
