See earlier video (allegedly).

I have no experience of seeing people on coke to know, but those who do ...

I was not aware of how many MPs are on the govt payroll:
DT wrote:There are between 160 and 170 MPs on the government payroll, meaning it is likely that only around 40 backbenchers expressed support.

This.

I honestly think we will never have a decent, law abiding leader with morals and the passion to lead a nation ever again.

I honestly think that what ever you put on your next election card will make no difference what so ever.

I truly think unless we tear what we have down we can never build it back up to anything more than we currently have...:(
What do you mean "again", that indicates there's been one in the past, who was it?
Tis a good point, i retract my statement...;)

Conservative MP Lee Anderson has accused the BBC, Labour Party and mainstream media of being involved in a witch hunt against the prime minister, saying they were "on his case all the time".

At a time when the PM will have to deal with Putin that sounds like one hell of a CV :lol:
I don't think I'd like to have Gove negotiating with the bad guys.

(not entirely tongue in cheek...)
With added irony that one of the accusations against Putin is that he signed a treaty then ignored it.

What sort of long-term outcomes do you think those negotiations might achieve?

Honestly I don't know, but when the other party is a murdering serial liar, constantly making threats
I bet that if you asked both Putin and BJ whether they'd murdered anyone, they'd both deny it.

Has there been a PM with less integrity in living memory? His timeline shows a fairly earnest and grubby attempt to show that he consistently gives not a single shit.

If we're fine with that then, er, fine. But it has to be a cross-political-party amnesty on ignorance, self-interest and law-breaking. So we can absolve Starmer from once looking at a polaroid of Savile for starters. And Abbott's numeracy and shoes. And of course it has to apply to the rest of us too.

Saint Tony and his eminence gris Mandelson have got be contenders for the lack of integrity prize.

And yes, to a large extent I think it should apply to all of us. Slower then me on the raod? Dangerous rolling roadblock. Faster? Reckless dangerous lunatic with no consideration anyone else.

Craig Brown used to do declensions, e.g: I am a patriot, you are a freedom fighter, he is a terrorist.

Blair had a high opinion of himself, but Johnson seems genuinely to have narcissistic personality disorder.

So what, the question wasn't about psychoanalysis. Sorry if it upsets you that the other parties have similarly dreadful morals.

Salmond anyone? Not to be trusted alone in a room with a woman.

We've got one. She's just had a bit of a do. Perhaps she should sack the government and take over for a little while. :lol:

Viscount Lord Palmerston* was a bit of a lad too by all accounts.

*Insert your own random historical Prime Minister figure here. Harold Wilson would work nicely too. Labour, smoked cigars in private, the pipe was a prop - the cunning :angry-cussingblack: .

I'll offer you Tony Blair, whose lies have ultimately cost anything between 500,000 and 1,000,000 lives in his war in Iraq. That's combined direct and indirect civilian and military deaths.

Whatabutisms don’t really stack up though, do they?

I think Blair should be up for war crimes. I think Pol Pot was rather nasty. All of this is moot, is the current pm that is also awful

Err, yeah, and after initially voting for him, once he proved himself to be a cunt, I voted against him as well.


If somones shite I'll vote against em, there may be a period when they're shite and I don't realise it but I never vote for an obviously dishonest and corrupt person.

For me though, Boris "Winning" this vote is knocking on the best way for it to work out, it shows the country just how dishonest the rest of the party is, Boris won't just resign, it's the best job he'll ever get and he'll hang onto it even as it destroys the Conservative party.

Once that happens we might just get electoral reform. PR.

It's tradition in 'Current Affairs' innit? Let's talk about history. :D

'Our current government are a bunch of incompetents, led by a lying drunk with the morals of an alley cat'.

'Well, Neville Chamberlain was a plonker'

'Well, Churchill liked a drink and nobody seemed to mind'

'Well, Gordon Brown was a bit Scottish'

:lol:
