Did his lips move?

Many train drivers have voted for strike action today,. Scotrail has settled for 5%. You really cannot blame all workers for pushing for BoJo's 'high-wage economy' he promised and logically any who do not are fools.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
From the Guardian:
"A Conservative MP who crashed his car and fled the scene has been found guilty of failing to stop, failing to report an accident and leaving the vehicle in a dangerous position.
Jamie Wallis was disqualified from driving for six months and fined £2,500.
Wallis, who announced he was transgender in March, told a court in Cardiff that he ran off after smashing into a telegraph pole in his Mercedes. He said he was wearing women’s clothes and was frightened that a group of local people who came to help him were going to assault, kidnap or kill him."
Is it any wonder we want rid of this bunch?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Only question is:
Did he think that due to the way he was dressed or for who he was?
PP

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Do you seriously think there was a risk he would be assaulted, kidnapped or killed? Surely he ran away to avoid being charged and 'outed'?

He is fooling no one, except maybe himself.
It doesn't matter what the media do or not not say, because no one is still looking at it.
We get the same rubbish with our woke politicians over here, and no one is falling for it.
This will not end well.

Here's Peter Oborne saying pretty much the same thing as Jonathan Pie, albeit with a very different style of delivery.

The BBC said ".... Boris left Parliament with his head held high... "
Should have been on a pikestaff.

I understand that bulk gas and fuel prices have been generally falling for about a week now. https://www.cliffordtalbot.co.uk/energy-prices/
Not a lot in the media about it!

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
The carefully coiffed appearance who sometimes appears to have been appallingly recently boffed, at least in her hair appearance, has a bit of a track record, which some us here may appreciate.
As a very lowly volunteer in the Wavy Navy, whereupon she rose to the astonishingly high rank of Second Lieutenant RNVR for at least a trimester, she took on a Wardroom bet that that she could say COCK at least three times in a single speech as many times as in the Commons.
She contrived a speech in which she said COCK five times, and went on on to humiliate Hansard with numerous citations of "lay" and "laid", as if to dance around her conquest.
Brownie points, in some quarters.

I presume that you are referring to the Mordaunt woman?

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Brilisnt writing from the Guardian's John Grace:
It was left to Kwasi Kwarteng to make the introductions. He kept it short and sweet, before welcoming her to the podium. Only she didn’t turn up. We waited. And waited. And waited. It was all getting very awkward. There were even a few sniggers. Then eventually Liz made it to the front. She had literally got lost after walking through the door. It wasn’t the best of starts.
Truss looked blankly straight ahead, her body rigid with fear, and started misreading her script. She stumbled over words and left pauses mid-sentence. If she was hoping to sound statesmanlike, then it misfired badly. She was robotic, brain-dead, managing to make Theresa May sound engaging, animated and personable. A laugh a minute. If this is the prime minister the country has been waiting for then we have all been lobotomised.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Someone has queried her desire for 'a fresh start' in government and asked what she had been doing for the 8 years she has been in cabinet. (Probably looking for the exit....?)
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
I see the Daily Wail has decided we don't want Mordaunt as leader.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
What's that rank again? I thought you said your son was a senior bootneck, or don't you follow these military matters too closely? They're part of and controlled by the Royal Navy, don't you know? She had to start at the bottom when she joined the RNR (not 'RNVR' which doesn't exist any more) or did you think she could join as a commander or captain? Please try harder - I think you've been reading too much Guardian bile!Undried Plum wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 9:20 pm
