The New Tories - Ruthlessly Incompetent. Post Examples of Tory Stupidity Here

Interview with grazia magazine. Apparently he sneaks into the flat in the afternoon to check she's made the beds!
If we believe they make their own beds or stack the bleeding dishwasher.

They're an ordinary couple, just like the rest of us.

Give or take the odd £500 million.

If they have a cook or a cleaner(for the flat) (probably) comes out of their pocket...its not a perk of the job

Ahhh. I didn't say otherwise. Of course they'll pay someone.

Cleaner probably agree...PM role does involve a lot of formal eating

Fixed.

There was a Yes Prime Minister where Hacker got a cook seconded from somewhere to work in the No 10 flat by threatening to hold official banquets with foreign ambassadors every lunch and dinner, to the horror of Foreign Office mandarins who held that every such occasion undid five years of patient diplomacy.

Lady Foster is a nasty piece of work who got her come-uppance for libelling a student and trying to ruin her future. I hope she gets expelled from from everything.

From the linked article this lowlife also paid damages except she didn't, we paid for her and the comments she used came from Policy Exchange another of those exceedingly unpleasant right-wing think tanks with 'charity' status:

UK science minister apologises and pays damages after academic’s libel action

Michelle Donelan had accused two members of Research England’s advisory group of ‘sharing extremist views’ in letter to UKRI

Thread by @poppyeh on Thread Reader App

@poppyeh: Want to know why Michelle Donelan was forced to make an extraordinary apology to two academics earlier today? It's a bizarre tale involving Policy Exchange, a secret government dossier and a libel case paid...…

[Serge Forward]

And 'the taxpayer' is paying Donelan's legal bills and damages, no less.

 

[two sheds]

You'd think the taxpayer should pay for this only if she was expressing government opinion. If it wasn't government policy she was talking in a private capacity and shouldn't be covered.

More worrying was that her complaint to the commissioner of the HoLs was not upheld. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

The Daily Politik​

·
On 20 November 2023, the BBC broadcast an episode of the well-known quiz show, “University Challenge”, in which a university student, Ms Gorgianeh, appeared as part of a four-person team representing Christ Church College, Oxford. The Team’s mascot was a blue octopus.
Despite (1) being in a team of four (2) the fact that the episode was filmed some months earlier in March 2023, and (3) the fact that the jacket worn by Ms Gorgianeh on the show was navy blue, orange, pink and green, Baroness Foster took to Twitter to single Ms Gorgianeh out as wearing the colours of the Palestinian flag (red black white and green), and being responsible for the Team mascot, which Baroness Foster described as being the most “disgusting antisemitic symbols” and calling for Ms Gorgianeh to be “expelled” by her university and “arrested” by the police. She also tagged in the Prime Minister, Home Secretary, Ofcom, the BBC and Oxford University to her post.
In the week commencing 27 November 2023, Ms Gorgianeh complained to the Commissioner of the House of Lords concerning Baroness Foster’s conduct. Her complaint was not upheld.
She was afforded no justice by our House of Lords regarding the ignorant and racist conduct of one of its members.
So Gorgianeh got a lawyer who got her “significant compensation” from the Baroness, as well as a public apology. The Minister has paid the compensation… using taxpayer funds. So WE paid for HER racism and ignorance. I’d say we should scrutinize our elected representatives better before electing them, but of course, the House of Lords is unelected, so we have absolutely no control over who sits there, costing us money ¯\(ツ)/¯

So if anti fascism activity means a referral to prevent does that mean fascism is ok?

kinnel, what a fucking state we're in; to be anti-fascist makes you a fucking terrorist; my old Granddad who landed on Sword to fight fascism must be turning in his grave.

Something has gone badly wrong here.

I seem to recall from my Prevent training that if someone starts repeating far right talking points, then it could be a sign of radicalisation and they should be reported to Prevent. Suddenly out of the blue banging on about socialists, communists and anti-fascists? I think Prevent needs to be reported to Prevent.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Being arrested for being a leftie isn’t new even I know that one

 

[Cerv]

fascism is also a referral to Prevent.
so we must all be neither fascist or anti-fascist but some mysterious third way?

 

[Schmetterling]

Undecided?

Dunno, but it’s making me less willing to engage with them or their courses in the future

unaware or don't care? if the state is picking up the tab for libel damages and it's no longer considered a resigning matter. they suffer no consequences.

I had the same opinion before I looked at him; looking at him just reinforced it.

He's particularly shit though. His 5 million bung has bought him hundreds of millions worth of contracts for his software. Systmone, the NHS record software that's now mandatory in most trusts, is a disaster. Mrs Frank did me a quick run down on how the interface works and I couldn't believe my eyes. Just saving a file is somehow a five-step process.

Sunak's just completely reversed his morning briefings, and decided Hester's comment were racist. Badenoch seems to have broken rank and made him flinch.

But they're still keeping Hester's cash.
