I'm imagining an "IT crowd" style recorded message saying "hi boris, your ethics adviser here. Your proposal is immoral and potentially illegal. Please ditch it and try another one" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other PM in history would be in serious trouble as a result of something like that. The Talking Haystack will of course suffer absolutely no consequences and will completely ignore this. What a country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think I might amend your final sentence to clarify the point, but it was too obvious even for me..... I'm sure we were all thinking it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a certain Mr R. Giuliani being interested. It would be a match made in heaven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should definitely get Giuliani in as their Downing St spokesman. Bring back the glory days of Bernard Ingham, for those old enough to remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I know we're having a laugh at Johnson and the Geidt resignation but it seems to me we're in a really dangerous place just now. No substantial media or opposition attacks on a PM who, if I read it right, was deliberately breaking his own Ministerial code where, as Geidt says 'deliberately breaching his own code is an affront. A deliberate breach, or even an intention to do so, would be to suspend the provisions of the code to suit a political end.' That has to mean this administration, without any noticeable checks/outrage at its behaviour, sees itself as above the rule of law and willing to break any/all rulings they don't like, does it not? I know the ECHR has stopped (for now) the barbaric Rwanda deportations but ffs, where is this all going to end up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the ECHR has stopped (for now) the barbaric Rwanda deportations but ffs, where is this all going to end up? Yes we are in a very dangerous place just now. It has been evident for a while for those of us who choose to see. It’s maybe a stretch to compare it to Germany in the 1920s and 1930s but some people saw that coming and were ignored. Also, let’s not forget in the USA the people elected a black President then eight years later elected a populist, egotistical, right wing nut job who would have been happy to hold on to power through a coup. He might be re-elected in two years. Dangerous times indeed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
