The Michael Gove File

[Johnny Vodka]

Fucking hell, you'd hope he has some self-awareness and was dancing like that for a laugh.

 

[stavros]

What particular micro sub genre of electronic music is that?

Pobstep

"People were buying him drinks"

Aberdeen is a bit of a Tory spot in Scotland (sadly).

I'm glad they did though

Wait, this is real? I thought this was a joke doing the rounds.

his nickname is Donkey, if you want to believe
Crazy Little Thing Called Gove – Popbitch
Big Mick Energy – Popbitch
The Urinal Catwalk – Popbitch

"He didn’t like a single one of his sexual policies to go unexplained / ​

Narrating and describing everything that he was doing / ​

And everything that he planned to do"​

Is it just me being pissed or does this sound like a late 1960s Bowie lyric?

Well he says he was just on Coke when he arrived, but the good people of Aberdeen were reportedly buying him drinks in the club … so both

So, it seems obvious that he must’ve known someone would film this, and share that he’s hitting up women on the dating apps…

Is he either:
A) Having a bit of a post marriage breakdown, and is currently blind to the career consequences?
Or
B) Pursuing an “all in”, high-risk bid for the leadership, on a populist reinvention tip?

If I ever felt the need to powder my nose, I would probably go somewhere not much more than one minutes walk from that pub/club to obtain it.

And O'Neills/Bohemia, Christ! - That is truly Aberdeen's domain of the desperate and for my sins, even I know how to reliably avoid its entry fee!

And IIRC, at least one of the managers there was a major Tory arselicker.

I’m betting on B due to the proven international success of that strategy and his naked political ambitions to be PM. Plus the choice of venue. Appeals to the oiks.

And you're not even chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. (That really cracks me up, it's just so rubbish .)

Suspect the dating app thing is fake (I.e. someone creating a fake profile rather than the reporting of it being fake). If anyone here can do a reverse image search they might be able to find the photo used for it in the public domain.

The club thing could well be something to make the public think he’s ‘a bit of a card’, the shameless uncle dancing to match the various indignities (zip line etc) that Johnson used to build a reputation as a bit of a character and someone up for ‘a bit of fun’ like a normal human. Knowing how this lot work some adviser or image consultant would have planned it all.

 

[pogofish]

Even more so because the Duchy of Lancaster has about the same standing in Scotland as the Magna Carta - ie not at all.

Even the Scottish equivalent Duchy fell out of use in the late nineteenth century!

Any image advisor suggesting those places deserves to be sacked. Even in Aberdeen they could have found him a number of other pubs/clubs that would have let him play "man of the people" with a fraction more class!

Thinking back to how big some of those 1989-1990 orbital raves were, Sunrise, Biology, etc, with thousands of ravers in attendance, isn't it statistically quite likely that some of us of er a certain age (ahem) would have been dancing next to Gove back in the day

F*** me, imagine coming up on that Phantasy (dodgy acid / E mixture, if that's what its was) and seeing his sweaty goblin features gurning 3 feet away from you. Nightmares on Wax indeed.

What are Goves policies, his stated policies that he has put out in his manifesto, about drugs, and in particular about class A drugs?

Politicians rarely have individual manifestos, that's more a spree-killer thing.

Thank you for your valid point. I used the word manifesto as I couldnt think of the equivalent of it for a personal one. Does anyone know the word for a Politicians official policies as made public for viewing?

Thank you for your post. In my ignorance, does that mean that Politicians have no such "thing" as an official personal policies list?
