Apparently the hard working British taxpayer has to get 'value for money'. Apparently the hard working British taxpayer is incapable of distinguishing the difference between paying a bit more to keep locals in work and paying them benefits whilst out of work. Or perhaps the hard working British taxpayer just couldn't give a flying f*** because they've not lost their jobs. I suspect that the hard working British taxpayer has better get used to the fact that more of them will need the very benefits the recently ennobled IDS has done so much to destroy. Personally I suspect that the hard working British taxpayer largely lacks the wit and imagination to work out that they could be next in line.

"The decision to move to blue passports was marred with controversy after it was revealed a French business would produce the new design. It meant the British business, which previously produced the burgundy passports, had to cut 250 jobs." either you couldn't write it, or if you could you would be armando iannucci logging it in a brief aside in an ascerbic satire of contemporary british politics. in fact, i'd like to see a 'thick of it' for the brexit debacle from him.

Sorry, but wtf is going on in this country. The chief legal officer is a member of some obscure religious sect in which sexual predation seems to be a major preoccupation. www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/15/new-attorney-general-suella-braverman-in-controversial-buddhist-sectLiar in chief Johnson is being advised by a self-regarding gobsh*te who behaves as if he thinks he's God, hiring and firing the cabinet in a manner which suggests that self-serving f**kwittery is the best that we can expect from a bunch of political nobodies for whom arse-licking sycophancy is about the limits of their aspiration and ability. And these clowns are supposed to lead us into a post-brexit nirvana?

Your vitriolic use of insults makes me smile every time This lot couldn't plan a route out of the office car park ffs, never mind direct this country's route to prosperity in a world looking to screw the best deal for themselves at the expense of a country desperate to replace the best trade deals it's likely to get as a former member of the most successful trading bloc on the planet. How's life on the civilised side of the channel btw? All still going well I hope.

Your vitriolic use of insults makes me smile every time Agreed! I've said it many times, he should be writing this stuff to a much wider audience! Jonathan Pie-esque pieces that really do tell it like it is!

God help us with Bozo and Scummings at the helm...we're plumbing the depths.

Your vitriolic use of insults makes me smile every time Agreed! I've said it many times, he should be writing this stuff to a much wider audience! Jonathan Pie-esque pieces that really do tell it like it is! I don’t write about it because nobody is listening mate. Take a quick look at what has happened over the last week. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the most important role in Government behind the PM has just resigned because he refused to accept that his advisors should be selected by and report to Cummings, an unelected advisor showing distinct signs of having a messiah complex. Since taking office, Javid was showing a marked reluctance to agree to Johnson’s un-costed spending plans which seem designed as a sop to his new supporters in the north of England, spending plans which cannot be met without increasing taxes or abandoning limits on Govt spending or both. The reasons for that are not hard to find. Investment by both foreign and domestically owned business has plummeted since the referendum. That has had a knock-on effect on business profitability which has in turn effected Government income and the forecast for the future is dire. The reason for slowing industrial output is the eagerness with which the likes of Gove are telling the world that leaving the EU with either a poor deal or no deal at all is at the heart of the Govt negotiating “strategy”, rather like telling the hostage negotiator that if he doesn’t do what you want, you’ll blow your own brains out. If business can’t predict profitability because it can’t predict future trading conditions it won’t invest. If it doesn’t invest, it stagnates. Stagnation leads to closure. f*** me! This isn’t economics degree level stuff. Elsewhere, the religious nut-job Braverman, daughter of immigrants who wishes to stop immigration by making it so difficult her own parents would not have been able to come here, and the very epitomy of second-rate, an individual apparently quite comfortable with sexual predation has been appointed as yet another Cummings stooge who not only wishes to suborn the BBC to his will but also that of the currently independent judiciary whose ability to scrutinize the Government he wishes to curtail. This was entirely predictable. The problem is that rags like the Sun, Express and Mail are too concerned with prying into the private life of the likes of Caroline Flack and pandering to the shallow vacuity of their readership than informing them. Sorry, but you could run through the deepest thoughts of people who read that kind of thing without getting your ankles wet and so back to the original point. The people of Redcar, Workington, Barrow, the working-class Tories of the Shire counties who have either recently converted to or have always voted for a party whose policies can be directly traced back as the source of the loss of the services on which they rely deserve everything they get. They have the same access to the information that forms my opinions and before they start bleating about how much money we contributed to the EU as being the reason for voting leave they should look at this, www.myeu.uk. Then perhaps they should consider that at least one investigation has concluded that the cost of Brexit already exceeds our total contributions during the entire 45 years of our membership of the EU and finally, perhaps they could consider the ease with which their gullibility and prejudice has been manipulated by the swivel-eyed right-wing extremists on the lunatic fringes of the Tory Party. I confess, I’m not hopeful.

A brilliant analogy.

I confess, I’m not hopeful. And things will not change until there is a more centrist/ left wing press. People still believe the lies/ massaged truth spouted to them by the likes of the sun, mail and expres. Funny how Bonzo can do no wrong. May was lambasted for not going to Grenfell immediately but not even a mention that he hasn't yet got his hair or trousers wet in the flooded parts of Yorkshire. Instead he sends Villiers who sneaks out the back door to avoid the BBC. A I can say is this kind of thing shows how little conscence the Tories have. Trying to control the judiciary and the BBC stinks! And is it any wonder more people trust a second hand car salesman than a politician.
