Ok, I get that and other posts above but why cant we do this shit? we can, we have the know how, and the people, we just need to back ourselves, and that is something that capitalism is interested in.

Massive investment. Huawei have poured scores of billions into research and development, they are China's biggest company and most of Europe's telecoms companies (EE, Vodaphone, BT, etc, etc...) now run largely on Huawei infrastructure. They dwarf the US in terms of telecoms tech which is a large part of why Trump is putting pressure on western governments to kick them out by using allegations of spying.

Apparently Erikison also the kit. But it's a fair bit more expensive.

That is a pretty good example of shit I would have thought most people agree they definitely shouldn't be getting involved in isn't it? Or is there a shit joke I'm missing here?

Oh they most certainly are. (not that I've had a spanking from a nice young lady. I've had a couple of brutish thrashings from teachers who these days would be called child abusers though)

He admits to talking to the journo:
The '11 minutes' is very specific and suggests phone records have been checked. 'When he was asked' is also interesting. It suggests to me either that the journalist volunteered the information or, more likely, that Williamson himself told the inquiry that he was asked. It's possible that he was asked but refused to answer but, well, unlikely.

Don’t bother with the whip, go straight for the red hot poker.
Conservatives like traditions.

Who am I to say you're wrong
What makes it more dodgy is that he has been chief whip. You don't normally sack them on a Wednesday!

I used to speak to journalists in my last job - I had to take a note of who i'd spoken to, when, for how long, on what subjects and anything I'd said that might possibly come back to haunt me.
As a matter of self-preservation I tried to be as dull as possible, but on a number of occasions I was surprised at the journalists recollection of our conversations...

To be honest I am surprised he wasn't in a Paris underpass.

I very much appreciate Theresa May's comment that 'she now considers the matter closed'. Yeah?
I fear that political foresight may not be one of her great strengths....

She knows what's going to hit the fan next.

She cant help it that her brilliance redefines not just the political landscape, but also the meaning of various words. Words like strong and stable have already fallen in her wake, closed is just the latest word to be warped in her honour.

Back when I had never heard of him and figured I should, the one article I read about him made him sound like a machiavellian career mastermind on the fast track to the top, with a fucking scary spider on his desk ooh ooh what a little big man. Pretty much every time he's come up since its been as a source of ridicule, causing me to ponder here about what a letdown this great spider man career marvel has turned out to be, not as advertised, not the saviour of the tory race.

His usage of language is so classic tory isn't it. He didn't tell the reporter when he was asked about it. That much is probably true. He doesn't deny that he told the reporter before or after he was asked though. It's like the ones that say 'I refute the allegation' rather than 'I deny the allegation'.Refute means to prove wrong, typically with evidence, which the person saying it typically isn't doing at the time. It sounds like deny, but it isn't.
