John Lambies Doos Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 John Major spoke on the Today show and came across as principled and critical of the future PM. Mind you he was lulling me into a false sense of respect as he started banging on about cricket.John Major was as big a c**t as the rest.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just seen this! Please don’t tip United to win the Championship!Hands up - it was early in the race - did not think at that point that Johnson would pick up votes from all sides of his party by basically lying through his teeth to them - Remainers and Leavers alike. PS United should win the Championship so I am predicting they will win it. [emoji48] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew an MP who said that in person Edwina Curry was a very attractive woman. I was a bit surprised as I didn’t get that impression seeing her on TV, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 BoJo supporter Ross Thomson on the Politics Live show. Wondering how that enquiry into his conduct in the Commons bar is progressing, or has it been quietly dropped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 How damaging is the response from Johnson & Trump to the Civil Service leak, on Johnson's chances? He had a pretty massive lead but I don't think that his response has gone down well with anyone - is it enough to make him lose though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the votes were probably already posted before the debate or the leak, so likely not. Still hoping to see him end up in Fish and Ag though, or Governor to the Falklands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you he was lulling me into a false sense of respect as he started banging on about cricket. I've never really forgiven Major for 'fessing up straight away..... "Yes, I did.... I was shagging Edwina..." Completely ruined it for the media, and me. I'd hoped for the denials, the long list of political supporters vouching for him, some more revelations, the family photographs outside his home, seething wife with gritted teeth smile.... "Will now spend more time with my family, and many other interests..." etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major couldn't even gain the decisive backing of his own party and was utterly trounced by Blair in a direct contest. Just because he can now say whatever he wants after twenty years of irrelevance does not mean that he ever was or is a credible politician.

Your comment was a piece of opinionated generalisation, about the past and also the present. My response was specific, directed, and disagreed with yours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
