Just a reminder of who the real cunts are.

Hundreds of millions of pounds of our money has gone - and is still going - into the trough for their friends and backers. People are paying for this with their lives.

[Scooby Dudek]

Yeah but Corbyn ..

Now is not the time for questions, you're politicising the virus etc. etc. Dont expect a big deal to be made of this in the mainstream media anytime soon

Agree with you on Jolyon Maugham; but a quick look on the Guardian website is, predictably, wall to wall AS 'crisis'. Again.

 

The awarding of these contracts and alleged cronyism should be headline news until the corrupt fuckers are exposed for what they are.

It’s easy to prove yourself right when you only look for what you want to see.

Two recent articles and a link to his blog.

 

They have also been covered in the live blog on a daily basis, I’m not linking those as I’m too fucking lazy.

I can see a couple of opinion pieces, not front page headlines - which is what I said. Thanks though.

Horses and water and all that, they’re actually doing quite a bit of reporting it as it comes through, with the investigative stuff dripping in.

It should be one of the main articles on the website as you open it... everyday. Articles dating back to May, hidden away... we did our job. MPs using taxpayers money to line pockets during a pandemic I feel like fucking cunts isn't visceral enough.

Look, I don't disagree that there is reporting on this - I guess I think it's more of a big deal than is being made of it.

And we fully agree on that, it’s a genuine scandal, but the paper chains have to be checked, verified and proven.

 

It’ll take time, but there’s a load of political capital to be made from this being done proper.

I'm depressed so you wont mind if I make others depressed, I'm thoughtful like that. On the plus side the girl who owns this Twitter account looks a right sort, she hates tories but loves the eu, I'll let her off that..

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Gnasher]

Charge him, although I doubt they will.

I still can't believe they let him hold his own presser and went on a 30 mile car trip to test his eye sight and that was fine, we were told to move on so we did. Even Gove said thats a way he would test his eye sight. Its a joke. Cummings should of been sacked, how they reacted to what he did totally undermined the entire lockdown and in my opinion it made them wrongy remove restrictions too early. Cummings, Gove and Boris are the worst things to happen to this country in decades followed by Rupert Murdoch, the mail online the pandemic, Jeremy Hunt, Iain Duncan Smith and Priti Patel.  Cunts cunts cunts.

All that yeah, but the bit that really, really fucking irritated me was that he rocked up half hour late with no apology, or even an attempt at contrition for the delay.  

 

Utter contempt.

Yeah that was a fucking disgrace that. Completely not arsed whatsoever. I can see him getting done in big time in the future.

They fucking hate Hancock over at the Hail.

 

Calling for his head on the hour, every hour.

 

This is manna from heaven for them.

 

Edit: Both the guardian and FT have covered it, quite substantially as well. Unless he means specific instances.

He's probably safe until they really need a scapegoat.

I know he isn't elected cabinet but he basically runs it from his enhanced etch-a-sketch.

He’s safe until Brexit is over, at which point he’ll walk/be ousted/be bought off and a new incumbent will be brought in to tell us how mistakes were made under the old regime but now is the time to pull together and move forward with renewed hope and under new and exciting management. And Doffers everywhere will lap it up.
