SHOVED IN A HESSIAN SACK AND THROWN INTO THE THAMES : Felted Prime Minister Boris Johnson has sent a strongly worded warning to his cabinet as he fumbles out blithely expecting others to come up with solutions to problems he’s created.
“It’s so hard to get good staff these days,” a Downing Street source, close to Mr Johnson, told LCD Views, “have you had a look at the chaff Mr Johnson has had to fill his cabinet with? I mean, are these really the brightest and the best the UK has to offer? Don’t answer that.”
It’s not. It appears to be the least principled and most desperate for advancement.
The most untroubled by electoral lawbreaking and how it’s been used to further Brexit.
Also the most unruffled by foreign interference by Russian and US billionaires into UK democratic processes.
Additionally, the ones who sleep best at night wilfully ignorant of the real harm they are doing to the lives and livelihoods of millions of voters that the MPs’ code of conduct directs them to safeguard.
Not to mention the encouragement given to the worst elements of British society. The racists. The far right. It’s as if the tragic murder of Jo Cox did not make a dent and never happened.
It makes you wonder, when was the breaking point of British democracy? Was it the advent of social media and how the unscrupulous, if rich enough, can use it for mass, micro-targeted manipulation? Or was it allowing an advisory referendum result, proven in court to have been so corrupt it would have been declared void if legally binding, was it allowing that to become justification for a complete redo of the country? As if crime does pay, so long as it’s political in nature?
So I would say, no, it’s the best the UK has to offer. Brexit was, is and will remain a crime scene and the UK will recover or suffer dependent on what the political class, and the voters, do about it.
“I told you not to answer that.”
Sorry.
