Matt Hancock's resigned

[Mr. Dazzle]

You're a self confessed expert in everything you talk about.
But not in IT stuff. But carry on pretending you are.

It's amusing

Its nothing to do with IT tech you numpty, its people. You can have all the systems in the world but people still do dumb stuff...that's my point. All these politicians getting caught using personal emails aren't trying to be Hackerzz, they just don't stop to think what they're doing.

Of course the systems are beatable, if they weren't you wouldn't need the IT nerds running them. That's why I mentioned my mate, who catches reems and reems of personal info sent by people on their work email who aren't thinking.

In short, I don't think most of these politicians are selling state secrets to the Chinese, they're just a few steps up from clicking on blind links or sending their savings to a Nigerian Prince.

They can probably spell ream correctly though. Unless of course your mate hunts ancient Hebrew beasts.

Clearly my phone is under the influence of Israel. Or the dictionary is anyway

Don't under estimate MOSSAD.

Yes humans are human, but this party is a disgrace with weak leadership.

The press being invited into a boat to rattle the sabres of the Russians? It’s all looking a bit desperate to divert attention. This is the latest- all looks a bit fixed.

Labour are no better btw- but this lot are on power. Has our new SOS for health declared his interests in JP Morgan?

It’s all very ugly. One wonders why Murdoch chose now to pull the trigger …

[Mr. Dazzle]

Yeah this bunch so seem particularly numptyish but then again its an extreme time with much opportunity for it

The email thing just struck me as a global phenomenon which ain't limited to one "side" and which probably ain't going away. And what about Government over WhatsApp?

[Horse]

Do you think emails are the only way to send information?

Given that the latest issue is him sending emails, it doesn't really matter what other methods there are.

Conspiracy theorists on twitter having a field day with this

He resigned so he can't be investigated for his failings during the pandemic
he resigned so they could hide the news that 600,000 covid test results going missing
He resigned so they could hide news about his Mistresses' brother getting PPE contracts
The whole thing was planned with his wife's knowledge
It's all part of the plan to make Gove PM

etc etc

Me personally, I think that whatever the truth, it does clearly demonstrate that politicians are untrustworthy people with a superiority complex and shouldn't have been 'in power' in the first place

Exactly.

The irony that they are putting an investigation into how the photo leaked is off the chart too!

Surely as most people know these foul politicians are all in it for themselves you would of thought we would be asking for an enquiry into the way they are running our country, because as far as i can see that is more important than outing someone for outing a complete knob head who is totally incapable of doing his job properly, as has just been proved with his resignation!

I do keep up to date. Still keep my ear to the ground.
There's more than 1 way of skinning a cat.

But, there are a lot more people that can't work out these things than can I reckon. I'm pretty good at using computers. Give me any program to use for work and if I've not seen it before I can use it well enough for work in a day or so.

I can't make a VPN work for watching stuff not in France and not fuck up everything else I want to watch that doesn't need a VPN!

I'm pretty sure most office people wouldn't be able to bypass security to work out how to send emails privately and not get caught (that was the question??!!)

Do you think emails are the only way to send information?

Anyway, I'm busy watching footy and drinking beer.

Text? WhatsApp? Letters??

TBH - I am not convinced that Boris et al are actually that clever. The "sabre rattling" is part of a NATO exercise - which is obviously trying to show military strength to Putin. The going too close to Crimea was probably just a "test" more than anything else - they know what would happen - hence the journos.
More interestingly is that Hancock would appear to have been sacrificed - the camera that should have been pointing the other way, the fact that the CCTV came to light etc, so one as to assume that the Tory Grandees had decided that Hancock has served his purpose - and perhaps he was fucking useless. His naked ( singer) ambition appears to have caught up with him.
I think it deserves everything he got purely based on his "offering the elbow" motion. Alan Partridge would be proud.

Labour are currently is the "savaging the torys like a dead sheep" mode - SKS seems to be woefully when he has to come up with annoying original - and Labour are now talking about a leadership fight with Dawn Butler challenging of the lose Batley and Spen. Why are they trying to make themselves unelectable?

We really, really need a strong opposition to keep Boris in check
