Renton 21636 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 This is one thing I didn't understand. 30 days suspension, why take the political hit for that? Even if a by-election is triggered I hardly think his 20,000 majority will be overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4389 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 2 hours ago, Alex said: The 30 day suspension was so lenient as to be an absolute joke anyway. I still don't understand what the law on corruption actually is and why it isn't applied - he took money from a testing company that was awarded exclusive contracts - I think the vote has masked the details. It's the same with Hancock and Patel's PPE deals - how the fuck is there no police/CPS investigation? I know this stinks of naivety on my part but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21636 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 So the theory is Johnson set all this up to get rid of Stone who is proving troublesome over the wall paper affair. Not sure I would give him that much credence but it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess because the whole thing is just to toxic with even the Mail on his back. Labour and the SNP refusing to participate in the new committee would show it for the Kangaroo court it was, even to some gammons. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21636 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 So the corrupt cunt has resigned (Paterson, not Johnson). I think this is potentially damaging to Johnson. Shows he can't be trusted even by his own MPs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21636 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Feel so sorry for Paterson, he's been the victim in all this, after all. Ask his wife (using a Ouija board). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time he said he had no idea why she'd taken her own life. After being found guilty suddenly the investigation was the cause. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21636 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Quote Worst of all was seeing people, including MPs, publicly mock and deride Rose’s death and belittle our pain. My children have therefore asked me to leave politics altogether, for my sake as well as theirs. Fuck me, who were the MPs that mocked his wife's death? He should name them. The only thing I can see is Paterson milking it for all its worth. And still is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well she didn’t leave a note, she was very successful in her own right (rather than being defined by her husband) and in the inquest he stated he had no idea why she’d done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15550 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Who'd have thought that going on Sky News and saying "I'd do it again" would turn public opinion even further against him. What's a man to do? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44935 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Guilty as charged and now absolutely shamelessly playing the victim card, dragging his dead wife into it. If she killed herself over this, then he should look to himself for his own actions. If she didn't, and he's just trying it on now, then he's just not even worth bothering with. Either way, he can fuck right off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44935 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Starmer has issued another strongly worded statement on twitter. I have no idea what the mechanism is for capturing the public imagination on something like this, but I'm fucking sure that's not it. Corbyn was a fucking nightmare, but he seemed to have a social media team pumping out videos and memes that actually connected with people and got shared a shit load. Surely they could be talking to the Lead By Donkeys lot or something to actually make some political capital over stuff like this, and try to take control of the narrative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 So this guy's wife killed herself during the investigation into his corruption, and he's now claiming that he's the victim in all of this because a lawful and apparently well founded examination of his illegal activities has allegedly caused her death. That is one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. Truly and sincerely. What an absolute weapon this guy is. Clearly doesn't give a fuck about his wife's death for one thing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but they're targeting different demographics - Corbyn was popular with young and idealistic people (and will therefore have had lots of their support in his campaigning and marketing) whereas Starmer is trying to appeal to middle England. I mean I agree Twitter isn't the place for his statement particularly though - he'd be better off putting it on Facebook given the people he's trying to win over.
