Privileged powerful and entitled white man in business suit puts a female worker firmly in her place. Winds of change never stop blowing.
I can't recall anyone mentioning "lies"; you don't have to tell lies in order to be dishonest, however, offering a bribe (or accepting one for that matter) is dishonest.Quote:

Now you're saying dishonesty and lying are not the same thing? :faf:Quote:

Here's an interesting bit of early Michael Gove, notable for 2 things:
- he used to have a bit of a Scots accent (who knew?)
- presumably we're meant to think it's satire but he looks like he believes every word!

They clearly are not the same thing; whilst lying is dishonest, dishonesty does not require a person to lie. For example, stealing is dishonest, but you are not require to lie in order to steal.Quote:

Jeremy AlmostNominativeDeterminism has done an article in the Telegraph where he says pushing for No Deal would be "political suicide". Note he doesn't actually gaf that it would lead to the death of manufacturing industry in the UK, hundreds of thousands of job losses etc, he's just concerned the Tories wouldn't get re-elected. What a Hunt. :rolleyes:
Was having a read about the Tory candidates having not heard of a fair few of them. Without knowing a great deal about some of them and how far right they are etc. On the face of it, Esther McVey seemed to come from a different background to the majority that attended Eton & Oxbridge.
In the context of a Tory Pm, so the least worst option, would her background as a Scouse foster child make her any more likely to “represent for the many and not the few”? Or is my cynicism of the majority of all politicians from all parties in being self serving a more likely outcome?
In July 2018 it was reported by the head of the National Audit Office (NAO) that McVey had misled parliament over the new Universal Credit scheme by claiming that the NAO report showed that it should be rolled out faster when in fact the report concluded that the roll-out should be paused.[41] She apologised to the House of Commons on 4 July 2018[4][5] amid calls for her resignation.[5] Margaret Greenwood said in Parliament, "The secretary of state should be ashamed that she has been forced to come to this house again. If she misread this report so badly this brings in to question her competence and her judgment. If she did read the report and chose to misrepresent its findings, she has clearly broken the ministerial code. Either way, she should resign."[42]

Exactly the way to respond to this kind of thing in my opinion.
It's been a hoot.Quote:

... in which it turns out that Dominic Raab is:
a) a lying *******
and
b) a self-serving Jeremy Hunt
Who would ever have thought that? Consider me shocked, nay, stunned. :rolleyes:
BUT HERE IS A GENUINE SHOCK!
Rory Stewart admits a no deal Brexit would see the end of UK manufacturing industry:
https://twitter.com/JamesMelville/st...20453897515008
He seems to have got a bit lost on his way from a 19th Century Imperial adventure, but Rory Stewart may have elements of truthfulness about him. No chance the Tory members are going to go for that!
Tory women politicians = ****s. Said it before and probably won't ever change my mind. Way worse than the men, rabid harridans every one. Leadsom gets a "maybe" because she has nice pins.Quote:
