    Fee-paying school, yes, but that's where it stops as there are no universities in Germany nor Australia that have the social equal of Oxford or similar. It is, in many ways, uniquely upper class English, a remnant from days gone by.

    boris is just like the rest of us. his chaos and his vices are there for everyone to see, his misdemeanours are the same ones we all make, his lame excuses are the same lame excuses we all make when we fuck up, and that's why the public, for all the soundbites that the bbc broadcast, are not ready yet to throw him under the bus.
    Well that was definitely one of your more obvious trolls.

    So basically, the privileged private school you went to was fine, but privileged private schools in England suck, because in your opinion everything in England sucks.

    Thanks for clearing that up.



    Academic brilliance stemming from New Zealand eagerly awaited.

    How is Boris managing to survive ? Surely these parties, with him in attendance, during lockdown should be his undoing. It was bad enough not sacking Cummings.

    The man's a buffoon, admittedly a popular one, but still a buffoon.

    There's no one to replace him and hes had an incredible couple of years in office.
    He got Brexit Done.
    He caught Covid.
    He handled the pandemic well.
    He got the decorators in.
    He knows how to throw a party.

    He's had a couple of kids and his mum died.
    He's watched various ministers get their mates lucrative contracts, whilst he had to get the begging bowl out for new curtains
    He's struggling with the US, the orange idiot has been replaced by an IRA sympathiser

    he is still a more suitable pm than the kneeler or the fishwife.






    and everybody in the country broke lockdown rules at one time or another.

    and when the police tried to arrest or prosecute them, there was an outcry from the public and especially the media, citing "civil liberties", "police state", "chase the real criminals not the lockdown breakers".

    and suddenly, after 18 months, they have changed their tune, its now all about boris having a few people round for a bevvy and a natter.

    Lets hope she puts the final nail in Boris's coffin.


    Sue Gray, the civil servant investigating lockdown parties in Downing Street and Whitehall, holds the fate of the prime minister “in her hands”, a former permanent secretary has said.


    Sir David Normington, who worked at the Home Office and oversaw public appointments, said that Gray had been placed in a “very odd” position as the public waited for her verdict on the stream of allegations about lockdown rulebreaking in government.

    He only ever wanted the job as something on his CV.

    Strictly Dancing 2025 has to have been pencilled in.

    One thing about the tories is that they jettison quickly.

    Sue Gray needs to finish her report soonest. There are reports it could be completed by the end of next week. Boris is living on borrowed time pending the report.

    Rumours are that police investigation is possible in which case he'll have little choice but to resign.

    The old saying when you have hem by the balls the hearts and minds will follow.
    BJ won't care big pay off millions for memoirs speaking like Blair , who brought peace to Mid East after bombing it etc
    More women ,Wine women and bong I think this maybe why he doesn't give a toss, for Boris it can only get better

    Lord Shagger of Eton is bonking all the way to the Bank and a no day week.

    As I posted a while back the swine are milling round the trough, oce bJ looks like a loser he'l be axed one thing the ealthy are not shy about is ditching liabilities , dumping colleagues.

    Sure the 22 committte who will wield the knife, not just yet but as the report and more sleaze leaks out have a book with best odds

    It's a an odd assortment

    Dishy Sunak the disher of doles so far his best window before taxes and inflation turn against him
    Rebound Savid Javid unless a Covid surge /new variant mores Health like still possible Jeremy Hunt
    Liz Truss , really?
    Dominic RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB the bouncing Czech

    Not fancied but if it drags on a while or any of above lose elections local general Grant Shapps, slimey enough, ruthless enough, slick as a buttered banister and smarmy as a TV game host

    I'm having a Pony on him if Paddy powers can better 20-1

    Some of his own MPs are even appalled and esp those with slim majorities not on the PLP payroll or hope of promotions/Red Wall debutants.

    When he issued his 'apology' in parliament he didn't have any vocal backing . . . but I'm sure he'll survive . . . again.

    Watching him squirm on the hook yesterday was fkin priceless.

    All his psychopathic lying tendencies were given free rein.

    ’Under the impression it was a work based meeting and therefore allowed. The garden is an extension of the office’ ‘ Bring Your Own Booze’.

    And the feigned look of penitence.

    Fantastic black comedy - Private Eye faces an impossible task making it more farcical.


    Downloading ‘In The Thick If It’ for a fifth watch.

    Regardless of where one sits politically, the level of corruption in this government has been without precedent - literally billions of pounds in covid contract awarded to chums without going through the normal contract tendering process.
    i think he is finished, he doesnt have the support of his party and it seems the people have fallen for the opposition and the medias hate campaign against him.

    that the only things they can really pin against him are the parties, shows just how desperate they are, oiling the venom with emotive straw men arguments and the ridiculous " one rule for them" line. most people and politicians broke quarantine rules at one time or another, at both the labour party conference and the tory party conference there were events where social distancing were ignored, and for those that have lived in the uk, they will have seen on a daily basis the rules being broken.

    as for the corruption issue, i dontthink they they have their hands in the till any more than any other political party. the labour party draw on trade union funds in the same way that the tories draw on "crony" funds. it certainly is not a good "optic" but is it actually illegal? i doubt it. cronyism exists at every level in every society.

    but boris time is probably up. i will be sorry to see him go, he is a maverick and an eccentric who pushes his luck and i always have time for characters like that.

    i dont know who is suitable to replace him, but whoever it is they will need to harness the angry anti-establishment mood of centre-right voters or lose to a labour party promising, however implausibly, that it is “time for change”. and the last thing the uk needs now is a socialist administration led by the kneeler and the potty mouthed raynor

    the next tory leader will need to make good on the promise of brexit, drop taxes, and stop the immigration queue jumpers landing on our shores only to get preferential access to housing and health care and they cannot keep going with johnson’s idiotic war on his own supporters, his green fundamentalism that will bankrupt millions, and the profligate extravagance and gimmicky levelling-up that will achieve nothing but waste billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money.

    just so long as the fucking socialists, those virtue signalling losers with their woke shite, their sentimental channeling of the "working class", with their hatred of success, with their divisive wish to divide us and label us all as victims of something or other, with their obsession with gender politics, are kept out of number 10.
