I hope he does get beat in this by-election. Shortest political career ever.


While destroying his journalistic credibility in the process.

I like how the people that tried to purge Westminster of anyone not loyal to Johnson seem to think there’s something sinister about the same sort of thing now happening to them.

Just seen a free paper sitting on the settee and picked it up. WTF is this shit? 

 

(Unfortunately this MB won't allow my pics I took of the paper but it's called 'The light' and it's full of conspiracy shite about COVID, vaccines, masks etc). 

 

I wonder who funds this as it's been put through the door? Apparently it's a 'people funded paper' Righto. An opinion piece said 'why don't rock bands just do their jobs anymore?' :lol: 

 

 

 

There was quite a lengthy piece on the BBC news at 10 on this publication tonight, with links between conspiracy and extremist terror groups developing. 

 

As it happens @Howmanheyman, i almost certainly know who delivered that through your door. Used to be friends of ours, they bought into the covid conspiracy shit, and have gone completely down the rabbit hole. Friendship with me is now completely out the question what with me being a big pharma schill and all. They have however delivered that paper to us before, they live in Walkerville. Both of them stood as an independent in the last council elections.

Oh, them! They were out campaigning against the LTNs in Jesmond too. Because obviously cutting pollution and encouraging 15-minute cities is all part of the great global conspiracy too (whereas carmakers and petroleum multinationals are apparently fine? 🤷‍♀️)

It’s like a comfort blanket though, isn’t it? Although it does take a special kind of stupid to think you know everything

Well I live in Walkerville too so would be interesting seeing who they are?

They stood in Walker and Walkergate. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes if you look at the election results, here.

But if you're in need of another clue think Pimm's drinking shithouse.

5% of the vote is scary enough though. Basically the same as the Green Party got.

Poor girl…

 

Out of all the shite that has ever come out of her mouth I think trying to portray Johnson as some sort of working class hero is perhaps the biggest stretch.

 

Obviously I'm not going to watch any sort of full interview with her but I'd like someone to ask why she wants to be in the Lords? Since Johnson left as PM she hasn't spoken once in the HoC and has voted just four times so obviously it's not because of any great dedication to public service.

Because by turning up 3 times a week she can claim approx £60k a year, tax-free. 
 

She doesn’t actually even need to physically turn up, she can claim for online meetings. 
 

That’s not including travel, accommodation and food expenses, all paid for.

If he's a penniless charver sprouting kids by the dozen shouldn't he get the Jeremy Kyle treatment like everybody else?
