Dr Gloom 21868 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 the interview with demonic cummings is worth a watch if you haven't seen it already. LK gets a lot of stick, a lot of which for good reason, but she does a good job here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000ygcg/bbc-news-special-dominic-cummings-the-interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30394 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Good on her for being robust now that he's out of power after mindlessly parroting his message during the time he was in No.10. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17154 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 She seemed genuinely surprised by some of the shit he came out with....despite plainly being his national mouthpiece for some time. I certainly don't hate her or anything but she's a massively conflicted figure whether she or others in the media wish to accept that or not. She's one of the reasons the BBC is in trouble. When the tories got into power and and started to put the thumbscrews on BBC news would've been better to go down fighting rather than roll over and take it dry.... Cummings has spent a decade making sure lying is a natural as breathing in government. Now he's all "OMG THESE DREADFUL PEOPLE I EMPOWERED!!!" he can frankly go and fuck off and die in a skip. He's responsible for where we are. MPs can act with near impunity and only get a slap on the wrist. He can send Rees Mogg off to Scotland to lie to the Queen's face about the poroguing of Parliament. Hes destroyed objective truth being part of government. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30394 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 He thought he saw an empty vessel in Johnson that he could mould as he wished. What I don't think he reckoned with was just how pussy whipped Johnson was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that he proposed that they go and get jobs. I can see articles about it online but they're admittedly only in local papers and not the major ones, so I'm hesitant to assume it's truth. But I think at the least it's probably safe to say that he hasn't done anything to make the situation better, while carrying our a number of actions which mean that their cost of living will go up.

Yes, rules say the PM is allowed to lie with impunity but MPs aren't allowed to either make the accusation or suggest that it's not a particularly good thing to do in regards to democracy itself....

ewerk 30394 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 An antiquated rule from a time where MPs were expected to be reasonably honest and have the honour to come to the house and apologise when they'd mislead it. Unfortunately those rules didn't allow for this particular shower of cunts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
