The Michael Gove File

[maomao]

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

You can see how he voted:

Voting record for Michael Gove - MPs and Lords - UK Parliament

Michael Gove is the Conservative MP for Surrey Heath, and has been an MP continuously since 5 May 2005. He currently holds the Government posts of Minister for Intergovernmental Relations, and Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

He also famously wrote an article for the Times called 'when it's right to be a hypocrite' about why he wants tough anti-drug laws despite having used drugs himself.

He allegedly was using class A drugs the other night and yet he wants tough anti-drugs laws. Maybe he needs to see a Politician about that?

Does anyone remember Zoonie the Lazoon from Fireball xl5? Here is a 4 second video of the character.

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!

Oh, I’m not expecting these people to be competent. We are talking about the Tory party after all.

‘Merry’ Michael Gove seen dancing ‘alone’ in Aberdeen nightclub

Tory minister reportedly said he did not need to pay to get in because he is chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster

I ve already posted this on another Gove thread cus I didn't realise this one was current......

 

[elbows]

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

Pass the Duchy of Lancaster 'pon the left hand side (I say)
Pass the Duchy of Lancaster 'pon the left hand side
It a go bun (give me the music, make me jump and prance)
It a go dung, ya know? (Give me the music, make me rockin' at the dance)

So I stopped to find out what was going on
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
You could feel the chills as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)

Would quite often get twonks in suits show up at Spiral warehouse parties after their members clubs kicked out in the morning. Always an odd sight. Thankfully don't think Pob ever showed up though.

It reminded me a bit of Zhu Hai in China, always a handful of suited and booted business men absolutely off their tits on MDMA in the nightclubs, there.

 

[brogdale]

Surely...

He might have been tooled up. When he went in the night club. OK I made that up.

Thats a quality Joke, right there.

He just seems to have this bump of sparkle whenever he is making a speech. His confidence can be really high. Though he does have his off days.

I've had this in my head all day since reading about this pricks latest exploits

 

[equationgirl]

Oooooooooh alcohol or cocaine, cocaine or alcohol, or alcohol and cocaine?

Everything. All of it.

Speaking on a panel alongside vice-chancellors from across the world at Times Higher Education’s World Academic Summit, Richardson said: “Michael Gove, the British cabinet minister who I am embarrassed to confess we educated, famously said after it was pointed out to him by a journalist that all the experts opposed Brexit, he said: ‘Oh we’ve had enough of experts.’

I never thought I'd say this, by I think Michael Gove is wasted in politics.

How to party like Gove

If you think we're going to use the footage of Michael Gove dancing weirdly in an Aberdeen nightclub as some jumping-off point to talk about his knob, or his cocaine use, or his urinal etiquette, or his divorce, or his sexual patter, or the utterly pitiful fact that he tried to namedrop his position as the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster as a way to get out of paying a fiver to get into a club – we're not.

Why would we, when we could tell you instead that one of the tunes Gove was filmed flapping about to on the dancefloor was an instrumental mix of a song called "Big Booty Hoes And Sluts Too".

I can't believe you'd want to inflict him on someone on here. (Andi can't see you getting any volunteers either. <shudder>)

No. Iirc it's more set up so women make the first move.

i dunno - it would be an interesting experience, it's not as if anyone would have to kiss him, they could make their excuses and leave.

Lots of things are interesting if you're not in the frame for doing them yourself .
