Yes because he will be convinced that should he ever one day make any money he would want to be on the receiving end of the boons that a tory government grant to those people
What these people don’t realise is the odds of this become exponentially harder when you are squeezed. And that even jumping up to a “middle income” gets you squeezed as well
Oh yes he is. He's also a lying cheat.

He's not a complete clown - there are some parts missing, like honesty, empathy and integrity
The government are still trying to price the Good Law Project out of holding them to account, by wasting taxpayers money. It an absolute disgrace and an abuse of our money.
Dear Badger
If you have a bottomless pit of money, you can break the law with impunity by making it too expensive for people to go to Court. We increasingly see conduct with that flavour from this Government - but nothing quite like this: Government has estimated it will spend a staggering £1.2 million defending a challenge from Good Law Project. We only expect the hearing to take one day and the facts are simple. When the case was stayed, the costs were about £30,000. They repeatedly refused to give us the estimates of their costs so we could apply for a cap. Then, they told us they had spent over £600,000 and were continuing to spend.
Our lawyers tell us it’s an unprecedented sum. The evidence is that costs incurred by the Government in judicial review proceedings rarely exceed £100,000. We are a small non-profit, funded by donations from members of the public. We cannot carry this kind of risk, a fact the Government well knows. We can’t help but wonder whether killing us, or dissuading us from using the law, is the point of their spending. We have now applied for a cap but are on the hook for a vast sum if we don’t get one.
This particular case involves a former Conservative politician who runs for a lobbying company who was brought into the Department of Health and Social Care as an advisor, and pushed for one of his lobbying clients to win a huge PPE contract.
This latest example of the Government’s attempts to price us out of litigation shows just what we are up against in 2022. They are trying to make this year the year the Empire strikes back.
But we’re still here, and as long as we have the support of thousands of people up and down the country, we will keep going.
Thank you,

All because of Boris and his bullshit and slurs …..

Boris Johnson's Brown shirts were out and about again today only this time it was Starmer being abused and insulted.
Johnson has to go. Nobody can surely defend him after those scenes.
It was a disgrace for Johnson to smear an honest and decent man with the most appalling lies and innuendo and to do so in Parliament knowing he was safe from repercussions.
Anyone coming on here trying to defend Johnson now has to be beyond redemption.

Disgusting.
What blows my mind is that people still believe a word Boris says

The stupidity of some people is immeasurable.
Hopefully Starmer will mention, at the next PMQs that Saville was a Christmas guest of Thatcher on multiple occasions, he was a Tory donor and that Thatcher lobbied for him to be knighted.
He might also want to raise the matter of how the government “lost” files, in 2014, that threatened to expose a *****phile ring in Westminster.

Johnson would understand it. It understands **** all else.
The list of demands that the convoy nutters have made is absolutely wild. They've started sending a form letter en masse demanding that the Governor General (the purely ceremonial head of state) dissolve the government, charge Justin Trudeau under hate crime legislation and the Nuremberg Code, and certify that the vaccine does not include RFID chips or the HIV virus, among other things:
Also, they gave a press conference where they indicated that they were willing to form a coalition with the non-Liberal political parties (because the Liberals will be thrown in prison by the Governor General, I guess?). That's...not how government works? Also, the idea of a coalition between some conspiracy-addled far right activists, the Conservative Party (currently tearing itself apart), the NDP (which is staunchly left-wing), and the Bloc (which is a Quebecois separatist party and mostly left-wing on social and economic issues) is just batshit.
