Well done Marcus Rashford

And there's the story:



Edit: Just seen Badger's post above!

 

I think this comes under the heading of WTF is going on.
The government giving a £100m PPE contract to a pest control company, that has less than £20k in assets, without advertising the contract to attract tenders from other companies.

Truly brilliant. I am so proud to live in a country governed entirely by random acts of idiocy.

 

You just defined Boris’ legacy

 

He's heading for total ignominy, in exactly the way that most of us thought he would. Who would have guessed six months ago after he had trounced Corbyn that he would godown in history as the less successful of those two. Looking forward to PMQ's tomorrow and the next episode of Starmer taking the useless bastard apart. If he had any shred of decency about him the Fat Owl of The Remove would retire to some inner sanctum of No10 with a bottle of malt and a pearl handled revolver. What a bloody charlatan!

 

An extraordinary exposé of Britain’s censorship of our own despicable past crimes against humanity by George Monbiot:

…...I wouldn`t waste the malt on him.

 

Absolutely not. Just give him a cyanide pill. I'll drink the scotch.

 

I absolutely have no problem with 22 year old athletes deciding government policy.

I have far more faith in the likes of Rashford and his generation than I do in unelected 48 year old political strategists from Durham, say.

 

And he means that sincerely folks. I can't stand the slimebag, he's a wrongun.

That wasn't what I'd intended, never mind. here it is
"I recently came across Sidney Paget’s 1893 depiction of arch-criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty, and I couldn’t help noticing a remarkable resemblance to the PM’s Chief Adviser Dominic Cummings. I wonder if by chance the two are related?"

Long past time to get rid of the 92 hereditary peers still having a say in the legislative process. Many of their family fortunes on which their titles were based came from compensation for the slaves they owned at the time of abolition:

Boris asking Keir questions because he can’t answer anything.......shouldn’t it be the other way round on prime ministers questions?
The toxic Buffon is an absolute embarrassment.

 

I see he has excused himself by claiming, for whatever reason, that he was thinking of Daniel Radcliffe, at the time of the interview. Perhaps he is turning to magic to keep him in the job, after the dust has settled on the many unnecessary graves he has helped to fill.
There was me thinking that he had assigned Marcus Rashford a slave name, when it was just another example of how little attention he pays to detail, as shown by his lamentable efforts as the Health Secretary.

 

Oy! You leave my favourite goalie “Gigi” out of this!

 

I love this description of Johnson. ****puffin.
