Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 22, 2021 Moderators Share Posted November 22, 2021 I think about that anecdote frequently, and always have it in mind whenever there's any issue or incident reported through the lens of his presentation of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 22, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2021 I don't think it is staged. I think as someone, maybe @BomberPatmentioned, we're all on alert for it now so he gets away with being this fucking useless at his job. I'm sure it will suit them that he gets more grief for this than the awful things they do but I think he is just this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One he breaks out with the sparseness of a Japanese finishing move is “Croutons in the minestrone” and he always says the first or last word, then stumbles around before saying the whole thing, totally off the cuff of course. And they fucking lap it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually caught some of the speech live. Waffle about Battersea Powerstation (which closed in the 80's and had nothing to do with him), saying Electric Cars don't make the noises you want them to, and then proceeded to make car noises like a shit childs party entertainer, and then some waffle about how good Peppa Pig World was. I think he went for his usual bumbling idiot routine, but I don't think this was the audience who were the type to let lap it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do compliment each other and dovetail, but yeah I’d still be an arsehole without watching politics. I’d probably watch wrestling or something equally as masochist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 He's got to have one eye on the exit by now. His entire political career has been about leaving a legacy, whether it be with bicycles, busses, a bridge or an airport. He's probably satisfied enough that he'll always be the Prime Minister of the Britain that faced a global pandemic and kept soldiering on. People have already moved on from him being responsible for thousands of deaths. It doesn't really matter what happens now. His next job is going to be a bigger money earner anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 22, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2021 I do sometimes wonder if the overall performances of our leaders might not be even slightly improved if there was a way to smash that network structure of post-career "consultancy". They might not pull as much corrupt shit if they didn't think it would lead to them lining their pockets post-premiership. That whole thing of "the best way to eliminate illegal activity is to remove the market/money for it" and all that. Though, to be honest, if I thought there was a way to do it, I'd just do it anyway so that the smug cunts would finally get their come-uppance.

I can't see him stepping out of the public eye as he likes the limelight too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some people have too much money to waste. Im guessing you didn’t see this being posted and discussed on the very same page you posted it?
