Marc Allinson's Twitter bio literally screams "impotent". These right-wing Twitter "commentators" are, to borrow a horrendous yank bit of slang, absolute fucking cucks. They'd probably let Bojo pump their girlfriends (if they ever could get one) right in front of them and dutifully hand him a towel afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) That's nothing. There are people who can cook slap-up meals for huge numbers of diners, and they actually make money out of it.

Weird how Tory MPs think the law, even on the sexual abuse of children, shouldn't apply to them when their leader thinks the law shouldn't be applied to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning the the Party of Law and Order are totally OK with sex offenders in their own ranks. Didn't Theresa May "lose" a dossier on nonce MPs a while back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Is it really just within the last seven days we’ve had:Imran Ahmad Khan MP found guilty of sexually assaulting a 15 year old. Crispin Blunt MP defending Khan, a convicted rapist and paedophile. David Warburton MP found to have taken an undeclared £150k loan from a Russian businessman, in exchange for setting up meetings with cabinet ministers. And when he defaulted on the loan, started lobbying for British citizenship for the businessman.Rishi Sunak MP’s wife lives in Downing Street at taxpayer expense, is married to a Brit, had her children here, sends her kids to school here, but the UK is officially not her home for tax reasons. Sunak actively lied several times to try and justify it, before caving and removing her non-dom status (whatever will her poor elderly parents do for care now?) and is more annoyed about the leak than their actions. Additionally he was an undeclared American citizen while Chancellor of the Exchequer, breaking rules in both countries. Sajid Javid MP announced he was also a non-dom, and said he started paying UK tax again when he entered politics as if it was a giant favour. And this is away from the ‘usual’ and expected stuff about expense claims and general corruption. Sunak and Javid will clearly go nowhere but we should certainly be ending the week with three less Tory MP’s than we started it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris talked about creating so many stories folk don't know what to go after and I think Sunak has been the sacrificial lamb here distracting from the Russian money story and taking the trial of an MP off the main news story. I can't think of a time in politics that has had so much scandal as the period that the Tories are presiding over just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A majority of them voted for him, though, so they are at least condoning his views* - unless they empty him next time round. Which, with a majority of 18k+, I can't see happening. *Like that "decent majority" at Ibrox who would never be racist or discriminatory in any way. Oh, no, not at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zern Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Another 30 fines being referred over partying in downing street. It seems a lot, until you remember that there were a lot of parties. So many that the poor PM, ambushed by cake, couldn't even tell the difference between those and normal drunken workday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
