Probably not as much as the clear up and policing of the soap dodgers.
As for promotions... I know a few politicians that have been rewarded for failure... it’s not just Boris

Nope like I said politicians, however Johnson got promoted all the way to the top and he’s continuing to **** up, it’s nice that you’ve acknowledged Johnson’s many failures.

I see that reprehensible scrote Tom Watson who was so anti-gambling has become an 'advisor' to Paddy Power and SkyBet nice work if you can get it. He was also the universally popular choice as Chair of UK Music, many of whose members were victims of his 'noncefinder' campaign. Another example of how money falls into the laps of incompetents just because they once were in government...

Watson is an odious ****.
 
I see even ex-Labour politicians are being held to infinitely higher standards than current politicians in the actual government then. Sigh.
 
I don’t disagree and it wasn’t aimed at you as one of the more balanced posters, albeit also one of the grumpiest :azn:

Grumpy ? Moi......?
I blame having to get up with the kids, rowing with my teenage daughter, not talking with the Mrs and being asked if I want to fight during a road rage incident on the way home by some ****tard who really should of known better.........

At least there are plenty of good spots around you for a bit of rowing and it’ll burn off those cakes.
 
@ELLERS do you still reckon he’ll come good with a bit of experience?
He has done okay. You only concentrate on negatives as usual. Talking of negatives.
This morning I listened to Johnathan ‘the drip’ Ashworth who once again couldn’t answer a question. Asked what he would do regarding reports of new lockdown, he says... “eer the government need to make things clear”... “yes but what would you do” ... “eer we just want clarity” <doh>
That old line about “making things clear” has had its day.

Actually what’s wrong with that? He is a lawyer and only needed to look at certain points. Points that are important to him. That is common practice. Go away and give me something worth wasting my time on.

It’s nice you acknowledged that Extinction Rebellion are soap dodgers and waste police time and they should get a job.

What exactly has he done ok with? Do you really not think the actual Foreign Secretary probably should have read the GFA given its importance right now?

That’s not how things work and you know that. Stop arguing for the sake of it.
He said he referenced certain parts which is okay. All MPs do the same. They can’t know everything. I don’t get why you are so worried?
A bit of a boring post tbh.

have you read the GFA agreement from cover to cover? If not according to your theory we then shouldn’t be able to comment on it?
In that case don’t bitch about testing/ track and trace or anything else you haven’t read from cover to cover?
