What a thoroughly nice man.

Anger over Johnson Libya 'bodies' comment

What the fuck is wrong with him? Is he incapable of going anywhere without offending the locals? That's twice I've seen something like this this week. Who does he think he is? Prince Phillip?

 

[Job]

That was the joke that will finish him off, spends too much time trying to be funny.

Wtf was he thinking with that one.

I think he's playing to the 'ooh legend' crowd.

Either that or he's developing early onset alzheimers. I always thought he was a dick but this is incompetence of the highest order.

The EU has told Theresa May to sack Boris Johnson before EU talks can continue, should be fun watching Boris worm his way out of this one.

 

[Tom]

Sacking him gives him the opportunity to go for the leadership. But tbh, I think these comments have been taken out of context and that he was likely referring to booby trapped bodies.

Even if he was (which, from the transcript, doesn't look like it) then there's a way of referring to them that's much more sensitive.

Boris Johnson must be sacked, key Merkel ally tells Theresa May

"The warning was echoed by Guy Verhofstadt, the Parliament's Brexit co-ordinator, who said Cabinet splits were blocking progress in the exit talks."

Funnily enough after that came out Boris came out fully supporting May claiming she would "Deliver a great brexit deal!" - seems Boris went into damage control mode to try and save his job.


In other news!

Follow live updates from Theresa May's speech at the Conservative party conference

Made me fucking laugh (guy that hands her a P45) lol

 

[Job]

If he can worm out of this one he deserves to be PM.

 

[Scouse]

It could, of course, make sense to not have a clear negotiation position until crunch time. Keeps the opposition on their toes.


Edit: Not that I believe that our politicians are capable of game theory.

A prankster just ran into Theresa May's speech and handed her a P45

The Tories missed an opportunity to show their selves to resemble human beings.

They failed.

Miserably.

On the flip side they have this certain individual who is doing amazingly at winning the public.

I mean, first 30 seconds, and she drops quite a funny joke, Theresa May has been in power for over a year, and she hasn't ever smiled.

All she had to do was say "thankyou" and laugh.

She's utterly incompetent.

Or tell him to give it to Boris instead, that would have gone down a storm and would have been a massive two fingers to the EU at the same time, would have been perfect.

Fuck me, I'm considering a political career.

 

[Raven]

Boris was funny on Have I got news for you, too.

 

[Scouse]

Yeah, but Ruth also looks competent in her day job.

 

[Bodhi]

So we have the choice between an infighting shambles and a personality cult who forget that the 70's ever happened.

Joy.

 

[Hawkwind]

The standard of possible leaders is vaguely reminiscent of the last US election, a choice between two candidates most of the country did not want.

 

[old.user4556]

You're not getting Ruth.

 

[Scouse]

You're not getting Ruth.

Neither are you

Haha

Trump challenges Rex Tillerson to IQ test

 

[Hawkwind]

It's all over for Trump now Eminem has called him out, from the BET awards yesterday :

Seeing as Eminem is mostly bought by middleclass kids, not sure how that will go.

 

[BloodOmen]

Ho ho ho ho!

The first charges 'have been filed' in the probe into Russian meddling in the US election

 

[BloodOmen]

The plot thickens

Announce 'first' charge - that implies there are more in the works.

Probe into Trump-Russia collusion 'to announce first charge on Monday'

Manafort

 

[BloodOmen]

I think the next obvious question is if a former campaign or even current member is found guilty/charged, surely they can declare Donald Trump's presidency illegal and thus every change he's made since he was in power would be reversed + Pence wouldn't get to come to power either.

 

[Wij]

Manafort

Ker-ching!

Ex-Trump aide 'faces charges over Russia'

Wonder if transplanted porcupine hair man is getting nervous yet...

Just have to see if he rolls over on bigger fish to get a reduced sentence now.

Mueller was in charge of the Enron investigation, an interesting read:

[Raven]

Charged with tax fraud, not as exciting as I had hope for.
