Another Day, Another U-Turn
Tory Sleaze, Again Or, Another misjudgement by Boris (Blunder) Johnson It seems that the sleaze fest that is the Tories rumbles on with misjudgement adding to their woes. People objected when the Tories tried to let off one of their own who was found guilty of an “egregious” breach of lobbying rules. What a surprise. It would seem that some people (everyone apart from Boris (Blunder) Johnson) thinks that having a jury consisting of Blunder’s friends, presided over by one of Blunder’s friends, ruling on Blunder’s friends is not a good idea. Who’d have thought? That one came out of the blue didn’t it? Jacob Rees-Mogg Announces a “Re-think” For “Re-think” read, climb down. If you are going to be corrupt and mired in sleaze the least that you owe your corrupt pals is that you do it well. Blunder Johnson just can not get anything right. He has no ability to think things through. If he had he would not have bought water cannons that could not be used. Would not have wasted millions on a garden bridge etc. etc. If he had any integrity he would not have avoided the vote on the third Heathrow runway by running away to Afghanistan. Tory Sleaze There is something reassuring that Blunder Johnson is so bad at being corrupt and incompetent. He will be found out. The trouble is that he has a large majority. It would take a number of Tory MPs of integrity to face him down. However tghere are not a number of such Tory MPs and they are cowed into silence. God help us all.
Tory Sleaze, Tories Vote to Rip Up Ethics Committee
Tory Sleaze is back, Did it ever go Away? Remember this list? This was, if my memory serves, a list put together by the Tory whips so that their members could be “pursuaded” to vote the right way. Some interesting names on the list. Foreign secretaries (past and present), Transport Minister, Ex Home Secetary, etc. etc. The great and the good of the Tory party, well the great, well, the pompous and dodgy. That was Tory Sleaze in 2017, This is Tory Sleaze in 2021 Owen Paterson, broke lobbying rules, not once, but 14 times. Yet, he has been saved by his Tory mates. They have voted to abolish the rules! You could not make it up, or perhaps you could. Rotten to the core. Did we really expect anything else from Johnson’s party? (Owen means “noble”, noble by name but not by nature) Common decency would suggest that Paterson should have been cut loose, if for no other reason that this comes hard on the heals of Cameron’s exposure of his greed, but no, the Tories have circled the wagons to protect one of their own. An absolute disgrace.
