They of course won’t as they know they are fucked and will now use the next two years to line the pockets of their backers with every last penny they can squeeze out of the public purse. They had a manifesto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said that was fairly implicit in choosing Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they have all gone, although it seems difficult to tell. Appears that Truss is being so hapless that the Tories can then suggest putting Johnson back in charge. They're all over the place, but they have enough self preservationists in the team that a general election seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous that there’s no general election. I read an article when he resigned that suggested that he planned to be back within a year, and had the right wing shite rags on his side, but I didn't think it would actually happen. The Tory members will vote him in, in a heartbeat, it just remains to be seen whether enough Tory MPs will back him. Not sure he'll have the numbers, as he's quite clearly an absolute dickhead, but I suppose we should never underestimate just how fucking moronic those people are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Id like to to think the BBC are going to regret doing that but given it seems (to me at least) they are getting more and more to be another branch of the tory media machine I doubt it. Shearer and Wright have apparently pulled out of tomorrow's MoTD Add this to 'hiding' an episode of Attenburgh's latest show on Iplayer and its been a fine day for Auntie Edited March 10, 2023 by tom_widdows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just craven as fuck with "powerful" people, people in their own circles I suppose, as the BBC always has been. It's a very similar case to that of Ghislaine Maxwell, where they contacted her friends and family to defend her. It's a very much a case of Bruce defending a person because of who they are. The most frustrating thing is that she didn't do he homework. She would have known that they were likely to be discussing Stanley Johnson - or Sir Stanley Johnson - and should have been in top of the full accusation which was that he broke his wife's nose and also that he had hit her many times. The lady who called him a wife beater should also have known, but she probably didn't expect to be challenged. Bruce was correct to intervene, of course, but the correct thing to say was: this refers to an allegation by Stanley Johnson's wife that she had her nose broken by him and that he had hit her many times. If you must allow an "other side", then it is suffixed with: "an accusation that has not been denied.". I obviously don't watch the rancid shite show, but I have seen the clips and it appears she is reading from a script (she looks down) or notes. That suggests a degree of preparedness. You wonder to the extent that producers, editors and BBC lawyers and hierarchy have been involved in coming to that position. They have certainly only defended her since, rather than admit their clear guilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting worse for them by the minute too. Football focus pulled, no players giving bbc interviews, at least one club (Bristol City though I'm sure plenty more will follow suit) refusing to have any dealings with them. What started out as a storm in a teacup has become a major crisis for the corporation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I think that instead of the English match of the day pish that they insist on showing in Scotland, they should just show a montage of Lineker's face after every England tournament exit. Some decent techno to accompany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Do we really think it's going to be the end of gutter boy Boris though? Surely he's going to be making moves to take away the "brexit" vote.
