Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
A good summation of what is wrong with the current Tory party under Johnson.

Boris has gone to the Ukraine. Is it too much to hope for a Russian autonomous killer drone with his picture in its memory.....

Buggah!
Are we allowed to say that since the infantisation of the forum?
If not, then delete.
I got struck off for a month, and next time permanently, by the Thought Police, for expressing such a thought.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
It now appears that in 2018, Boris Johnson tried to make his mistress Carrie Johnson (then Symonds) his chief of staff and pay her £100,000 a year while his wife of 26 years and mother to four of his many children, Marina Wheeler, developed cervical cancer.
Now we think there is no point in appointing a new 'ethics advisor' in place of Lord Geidt.
Makes sense since there appear to be no ethics at play in No 10.
How any Tory MP or supporter can live with their conscience defeats me.
The latest Social media push is asking all Labour supporters in Tiverton to vote Liberal in exchange for all Liberal supporters in Wakefield voting Labour. Might just work.

I used to think that the worst job in the world would be a cleaner of septic tanks in Bombay.
Ethics Advisor to Boris Johnson must surely be much worse than that.

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Objectively they're two different cases. One was workers who were willing to work, and in some cases were at work when they got sacked, the other is a group which is refusing to work (albeit with good reason). I hope he makes sure they're all properly trained for the jobs, and I bet it costs more to employ agency workers too.
Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Apparently Boris had 'minor surgery' this morning. The medics were reported to be looking for a conscience which was giving him concern, but thankfully nothing was found.

Would that be the Nads who thinks not one member of the public 'gives a fig' about the resignation of Lord Geidt?

In 1957 the British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, made an optimistic speech telling fellow Conservatives that "most of our people have never had it so good".

He still thinks that it’s 1957, mind you Rees-Mogg thinks it’s 1857

Re: WTF is happening in the UK?
Very good indeed, Woody!
It still is 1957 here. Drive-In movies, dairy bars, people driving cars with tail fins, and all the kids call you Sir. There is only one male hairstyle - short!
