PM Boris Johnson - monster thread for a monster twat

[maomao]

The BBC is massive. There have probably been factions within the BBC trying to get rid of it for years as well as those who wish to defend it. The current situation may have created an opportunity to get rid of it but there'll be plenty who want to defend it.

I wouldn't ban it. I'd just bomb the Albert Hall on the last night.

One could almost be forgiven for thinking that the Beeb announced this purely to give the government something to get excited about and win points with their hardcore support.

They didn't announce anything tbf, the Sunday Times ran a story about it based on quotes from 'sources'. While the Times has their angle, the meat of the story solid true to me - and the BBC's statement in response is a pretty craven swerve to blame it all on coronavirus.

They should be allowed to sing RB
Nothing else better displays the country's retreat from empire into insignificance than a couple of thousand hooray Henries and henriettas singing a 250 year auld song in a country which has less chance of ruling the waves in 2020 than Mongolia or the Central African Republic.

Invoking non specific patriotism is a win win for those who don’t really have an argument to proffer

They should scrap it and finish with the penultimate night of the proms I suppose

which would then have to be scrapped and ...

I bet ludicrous bassoon Rees-Mogg bobs up and down in front of his steam driven television with all the hideous de Chair issue on the LNOTP

There's always loads of really good concerts in the rest of the festival tbf.

Just our luck that the fat fuck was in the 52%

Surely anything that increases their chances of contracting a potentially deadly disease, however marginally, can only be a good thing. The BBC should have commissioned additional verses.

Let’s call the whole thing off

As Killer b said, if we get pas that cringeworthy LNOIP, the rest of the proms is a uniformly excellent programme of well chosen classical music, played to a very high standard

For the last few years on the LNOTP the floor has been a sea of Suprastate flags and berets. Yes, they're that posh.

I suspect the hand of Murdoch in this:

Choosing Tony Abbott as UK trade envoy 'staggering', says Labour

UK shadow trade secretary Emily Thornberry labels ex-Australian PM a ‘Trump-worshipping misogynist’ amid reports of role

www.theguardian.com

The shadow trade secretary, Emily Thornberry, has condemned reports that Boris Johnson is preparing to appoint the former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott to a senior trade role, calling Abbott a “Trump-worshipping misogynist”.

The Department of Trade declined to comment publicly on Wednesday but insisted no decision had yet been made, after the Sun reported that Abbott would be given a leading role on the board of trade....

DPM Johnson has now claimed A level grades were "almost derailed by a mutant algorithm". And he also had the neck to claim education is the great equaliser. Not where he went to school, where you start 15-0 up and the other team have paper boots

Christ, are they on a mission to get as many totally talentless complete Morons on board as possible? He's a misogynistic, climate change-denying Trump fanboy
Even the ALP dumped him after just 2 years of him as PM. Then his constituents followed suit 2 years later

'mutant algorithm' really is stupidity beyond the surreal

is he referring to Cummings?

the 80.30 is A+A* %
the 42,501 is the £ per year

anyway, these a level results leave them below at least the top 10 state schools and the top 10 independent schools.

From that article:
Mike Rann, a former Australian high commissioner to the UK, told Politico: “Britain asking Tony Abbott to run its trade negotiations would be about as credible as Australia asking Gavin Williamson to take charge of its education system.”

either way, he reallly hasn't a clue about algorithms
