    He almost certainly is, except where he's got the texts to prove otherwise.
    He's a bullshitter, she's a bullshitter, Boris is a massive bullshitter and they should all get in the sea.
    Pure scum.

    Boris is the type of personality politician this country should still be able to rise above and not elect.
    His popularity is based on manipulating his target audience at that right time by a mixture of bluster, deviance and being devoid of any principles. Brexit was his heaven sent opportunity.
    This type of politician might suit the US or countless tinpot countries, but we should still be principled enough to reject him.
    Even Thatcher had principles - she believed in individual rights and freedoms, which is why she didn't decimate institutions such as the courts.
    Blair was a populist PM. but he was basically decent.
    Even Cameron and May recognised that there were boundaries.
    Boris is just plain unscupulous and amoral - just intent on shaping things as he sees them iirrespective of the damage he causes. And history tells us that doesn't put him in good company.

    I'm trying to work out what you're trying to say here, because the tweets suggest two things

    i.) That Cummings and Kuntssberg are responsible for ushering De Pfeffel into Downing Street, which is demonstrably true considering that Cummings ran both the Vote leave campaign and De Pfeffel's election campaign while Kuntssberg broke electoral law the day before the last election to say how her BoBo would romp home based on the postal votes (which she would not have seen, but she said it anyway) which, when coming from the mouth of the BBC's Political Editor, is a clear attempt to sway voters and also why it's a violation of electoral law
    ii.) That Kuntssberg is a ****ing dreadful interviewer as she spent the entire time either giving Cummings time to get his answer straight or outright trying to give him answers while also failing to follow up on any of Cummings' answers, which are both demonstrably true, which is a conclusion that anyone would have reached within five minutes of her interview with Cummings

    Say what you will about Andrew Neil, especially since he can't hear you as he buggered off to France once GBeebies' viewership dropped to those of BBC Parliament's, but he'd have actually interviewed Cummings instead of let Cummings monologue

    I'm sure Andrea Jenkyns will try to say it's because HGV drivers have been unable to take driving tests due to the pandemic

    Again...

    He looked awkward eating a sandwich, though. <doh>

    Sitting there shaking his carefully messed up hair, then he has absolutely no answer.
    That's Alexander de Pfeffel in a ****ing nutshell.

    The red cross with blue and green quarters is Lincolnshire. No idea what the other one is.
    I think that's a Yorkshire one in the background.
    Is this the next attempt at separatism that these fruitcakes are going to be pushing for?

    The blue one with the white circle in it is the Hardee flag

    Who is Hardee, I hear you ask?

    Just a Confederate general...

    I think that's Yorkshire. Hard to tell exactly, but it's definitely not completely white, like the Hardee flag.

    I doubt it's Yorkshire, because their flag isn't a perfect circle - and is also off-white

    On top of that, for maybe half a second you see it has what appears to be a black dot in the middle - but the Yorkshire flag absolutely does not have that, as it's yellow, meaning it's more likely a glitch in the camera

    Add to that the "Trump 2024" flags, at this point we have to ask if they're bussing in ****wits from abroad for these things

    Pause it at about 10 seconds and I'm almost certain it's the Yorkshire flag.
    The blue flag with a yellow crown that's in there is Suffolk.
    Can't identify the bottom half of the Trump flag, though.
    Red, white and blue with a black bit and three stars, one of which is yellow and two are red? No idea.

    I think I've worked out the confusion here: in the pic in the tweet I posted it seems to be the Yorkshire flag directly behind the Trump flag, but on the right that's absolutely the Hardee flag

    In terms of the Trump flag, the flag itself has the slogan "Save America Again" (which is begging for approximately 38 different responses at once)

    As for the one below it (and this took a lot of Googling) is the L'Manburg flag

    please log in to view this image


    What is L'Manburg, I hear you asking with the tone of voice that has you wishing you didn't before you even finished the sentence? It's a Minecraft thing

    To save you a click and/or the urge to kill yourself...
    • The blue stripe stands for freedom and liberty.
    • The white stripe stands for peace.
    • The red stripe commemorates the blood that was spilled while fighting for their independence.
    • The yellow and black accents are to denote the walls of L'Manberg.
    • The three crosses were taken from Amsterdam's flag for Fundy, the only Dutch resident of L'Manberg, and the first L'Manbergian by birth.

    <laugh> No wonder I couldn't ****ing find it! <laugh> Thought it looked a bit odd.
    That curved bit on the left is very strange for a flag.
    Looks like Bannon's online influence is still dragging the world down, then.

    I mean he had both De Pfeffel and Rees Mogg on speed dial still

    On the subject of people who Bannon has on speed dial...

    Just saying, if Nigel Farage happened to fall off his yacht, I wouldn't blame the RNLI for maybe taking their time before heading out to sea...
