Apparently his missus sent him to the fridge to get some breast milk she had pumped off and he's been missing ever since.

I can't believe the easy ride this raggydoll bastard is given in the media. Especially the BBC. Just report honestly what you see that's enough to condemn the man.


Really good piece in the Gruniad today, which really should be fucking hammering him, but isn’t going all out. Probably keeping their powder dry for the inquest.

Good article. I flicked through the comments and this one really stood out-

 



I am worried about the current political narrative lays the blame for our parlous state on the characters of government ministers, their laziness, their incompetence, their bad judgement is blinding us to the real factors determining what the government does on our behalf. This is not "a few bad apples" problem - it is the entire orchard which is rotten to the core.

This government shares a common ideology which was spelt out in the manifesto of the young turks written under Theresa May before Johnson made them all ministers. They espouse free market ideology and want to open up our economy to the cold winds of globalisation by removing rights, regulations and by making deep cuts in public spending and taxation. you can basically sum up their objective as SMASH THE STATE. They saw brexit as the vital tool to enable them to do this - but it was only a means to an end. Remove EU law and regulation and you open the UK to their ultimate objective.

To turn this country into their wet dream offshore tax haven for the feral rich.

Their hero has to be Chris Grayling, the soul of modern conservatism whose job was to be the wrecking ball let loose on government departments to smash their management and prepare what is left for outsourcing and privatisation, but on these blogs people used to constantly ask in amazement "why is Grayling still in a job?"

The answer is you fundamentally misunderstand what his "job" really was - and if the state of government departments he was in charge of is anything to go by, he was supremely successful at it.

It is no accident that there was no PPE available because having a national reserve of PPE was an anathema to tories who want to turn the NHS into a market system, so they outsourced its custody to a company which has since been bought and sold repeatedly because its PPE contract means it was a cash cow, even if it completely failed to ensure we had up to date PPE in sufficient amounts, but that is the pattern for virtually all outsourced contracts from Carillon to the rail franchises. Copious amounts of money were then thrown at various private sector PPE suppliers, but much of what was procured was inferior and unuseable, just like out outsourced train services, utilities, courts, prisons or local government. Only by a supreme effort involving most of the MoD's medical and engineering units could the NHS be propped up sufficiently to be a credible service to take on the pandemic.

It was no accident that they failed to bring in the lockdown when the scientists like Professor Helen Ward of Imperial College warned them it was essential nine weeks before they finally did so - for the state to coerce people into staying at home is unthinkable in our "liberal democracy" were "free englishmen" can come and go as they see fit.

It is no surprise that the very people they now cheer every Thursday evening were denied a pay increase by a baying mob of tory MPs a few short months ago, the public sector pay freeze being imposed to pay for the trillion pounds to bail out the banks when UK capitalism effectively went bust in the credit crisis. A leak earlier this week revealed the Treasury wants to use yet another public sector pay freeze to pay off the "helicopter money" debt currently being incurred.

The other thing we really must face up to is the future of our economy, or the risk that it doesn't really have one.

The bloated service sector accounts for 80% of our GDP, but with the ongoing covid 19 pandemic, the very last thing that will work with social distancing are services. From hospitality to hairdressing, from taxis to tourism, this sector is in the firing line for major job loses and business failures.

The current heavy dosing with helicopter money via the furloughing scheme and similar outpourings of money invented out of thin blue air cannot go on indefinitely. At some point our currency will be hammered and import price inflation will savage real incomes.

Add a no deal hard brexit to WTO rules and watch the panic brexit exit of manufacturing companies from the UK and we could see our economy cut by 50%.

I see the Old Guard of the brexit spartans wheeled out regularly to espouse the One True Faith. From denying climate change, through to brexit and now to demanding an end to the lockdown regardless of the huge death toll this will mean, the conservative party has purged itself of doubters, of one nation tories, of those who put nation before party (or at least deluded themselves they were), so that now it stands in its full dreadful terror, committed to a purist ideology of free market economics which is so dogmatic and so fanatical that if we continue to elect it to power, it will go on testing its beliefs to destruction.

Our destruction, our lives and our quality of life, that is.

Boris Johnson is merely the most convenient glove puppet they could find to front this free market jihad

Not posting this because it's Piers Morgan but because this boycott of GMTV has got to have been OK'd by our cunt of a PM. 

 

I also wouldn't bother clicking on the echo link as the headline and sub headline says it all.

 

It also shows up just how fucking cowardly the BBC are in all this.

 

Piers Morgan refuses to back down as government continues GMB 'boycott'

 

The government hasn't put a representative on the show for 20 days after Piers' grilling

They boycotted the Today programme, possibly the most listened to political programme out there, after Question Time, which they also refuse to send senior ministers to anymore, it's beyond parody at this point.

 

They're chancers, spivs and raconteurs who under normal service would have been back bench anonymities, but in the topsy-turvy fuckedupworld of today they're kings and king makers.

To be fair to Cummings andJohnson , we were all spoon-fed the certainty that nobody could get go be prime-minister by avoiding Neil and the studio debates , but they weighed it up and decided it was lower risk taking the coward jibes than being made to look pathetic under the grilling , and they are now sitting with a 80 seat majority.

Rumours the government will stop ministers appearing on Sky in mornings as well because dont like the way they are being questioned.  A bit of a rift happening between govt and journalists here with some sticking up for Morgan and the right of journalists asking relevant questions.

 

Heres Breakfast tv interviewer Dan Walker coming out fighting and having his say, the problem is the only people Dan thinks are worth defending in this little argument are the government,

Dan would be the first journalist to be turning his colleagues in to the authorities if we had an updated McCarthyite purge, the annoying God-bothering cunt.

The problem with cunts like Dan, Laura and the rest of the bbc spivs is a hell of a lot of people read, watch, trust and are influenced by them,
