The Gavin Williamson hatred thread

[stavros]

His interviewing technique isn't subtle, and so the subjects immediately revert to the auto lines that their Malcolms have fed them. They know that the interview has a finite amount of time, and they can get away with repeating what they want rather than answer the question. It also employs the old technique of repeating something frequently enough such that it becomes accepted, regardless of its truth.

Moron isn't alone in his attack mode; Newsnight, Marr and Today, C4 all use it too.

Marr doesn't. He's a terrible interviewer. Theres one guy on BBC breakfast, Charlie Stait or someone who goes for the jugular but Emily Maitliss is the best out there by a stretch. A far more subtle Piers Morgan. It's enjoyable watching both of them charcoaling ministers.

Morgan's ratings have soared during this shitstorm so he and his bosses must be loving it on a purely selfish level, although I do get the impression he does actually despise these fuckwits.

Morgan gets the fuckers to turn up for a soft interview then gets a few good kicks in .

Mind you, these are people that are apparently impressed by Truss!

and the rest of them you must have incredibly low standards to think Johnson and the rest of them are doing a good job.

I mean they are Tories, for every one they get right, they're going to be wrong A LOT.

He was the latest lamb to the slaughter this morning. Piers eventually got him to throw Hancock under the bus. This cabinet is fucking hilarious in a warped way.

Has Allegra Stratton done any of those yet? I only watch the evening news, and every time it's been worthy of being on that it's been Johnson or occasionally Hancock.

Equalities minister could replace ‘terrible’ Gavin Williamson when cabinet is overhauled, sources say

Looks like there may be a new education secretary soon. Where does Gavin Williamson go next?

Only upwards. He has embodied the core values of the 21st century Tory Party - incompetence, arrogance, ignorance, graft, and hubris.

Round the back of the fairground rides to inhale the fumes from a diesel generator. He'd like that sort of thing.

Badenoch.

Badenoch.

Yes that's her surname

No, that's the cooking instructions.

Grift rather than graft, no?

Sorry, lost on me

I just thought that "badenoch" sounded plausibly like some obscure food preparation process. Not all the jokes work...

Do you use forenames when referring to politicians?

None really, just that most posters seem to use surnames when referring to politicians...which seems to make sense?

There were complaints about people referring to the PM as Boris as it helped build his matey man of the people image but I don't think that argument really works for Kemi Badenoch.
