RE: Truss Watch Activated - 0762 - 21-10-2022
The ex-Tory Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, got it right during an interview yesterday - THIS IS BONKERS!! Then he totally dismantled Johnson as any kinda honourable human being - not so!! Here's another jaw-dropping element of the brief Truss saga as PM - she is paid an annual sum of £100k+ as an active ex-PM - all from the public purse????? I DESPAIR esp during a period when millions of citizens are financially struggling even more because of her shortcomings!!

It's paid for expenses for running an office, so staff, travel, etc and all receipts have to be provided. It is not a "wage" for life.
RE: Truss Watch Activated - 0762 - 22-10-2022
Thank god it's not a "wage for life" Theo! It's the fact this woman doesn't even need the money in her ultra-wealthy position alongside her spouse. The whole scenario is beyond me, a gradual nightmare unfolding and getting worse n worse to the stage where it's time to shut myself off from any news whatsoever - it is really depressing and unhealthy for the mental state of any normal human being!! TOO MUCH!!!!

Tobias Elwood has tweeted thiis
The free mkt experiment is over - it’s been a low point in our Party’s great history.
The reset begins.
Time for centrist, stable, fiscally responsible Government offering credible domestic & international leadership.
Honoured to be the 100th Tory MP to support #Ready4Rishi
Note theword reset, could have almost been written by Klaus Schwarb

Not helped by the misrepresentation of certain so called news channels (I'm looking at you Sky "News"). Just laughing at the comments of some BBC haters who claim the BBC News is being "vindictive" against the Tories on "Points of View". What ??? "Outraged of Penge" was it that Wogan used to call them? It's become the Tory Right propaganda mouth piece over the last 12 years, even more so during and since Brexit.

This BBC article gives a full list of what we keep paying some of these charlatans when they are gone, plus maybe one or two that are actually deserving of it, but that's an oxymoron for many.

Elwood has deleted his tweet wonder why?
RE: Truss Watch Activated - theo_luddite - 22-10-2022
He likely wasn't quite the 100th? Maths isn't a strong point on the CONservative party

I can't believe what I'm reading re a shamed ex-PM, Dizzy Lizzy, who should politically "disappear into the long grass" for ever (after trashing the economy!!!!), together with her corrupt Chancellor. These people definitely have no shame and watching her attempt to "play the blame game" (a left-wing establishment conspiracy???????? F### off esp after years n years of this shit RW Tory governance!!!!!!!!!!) in a process to clearly try to resurrect her trashed career in politics - outrageous!! I notice another shameless Tory bastard of an ex-PM, Johnson, clearly trying to gradually pull off a similar re-emergence - another shameless numpty preying on the politics of a fractured and damaged country with both of them being "big players" in doing it!!!

Anyone would think from recent activity that both truss and boris are planning a comeback once Rishi takes the flak election time.
RE: Truss Watch Activated - 0762 - 05-02-2023
In Johnson's case, he is on TV, writing articles for his media chums, penning an autobiography, visiting Kviv when things get hot here, making paid lecture tours and now bizarrely drawing cows (???) in his spare time FGS!!! As taxpayers, we pay his salary as an MP. So, given he doesn't attend parliament and rumblings from his constituency re his absence as a rep of the voters there, is he being paid????????? If so, why???????? This behaviour would see me sacked from my job (if I wasn't retired) and I'd prob be charged with fraud. We just keep encouraging this mendacious and elitist piece of shit to ignore any situation he wishes. NOTE I'LL SCREAM IN UTTER DESPAIR IF THIS MORON (AND TRUSS) IS ALLOWED TO BE RETURNED TO THE POLITICAL FOLD WITH OPEN ARMS!!!!!
THAT SCENARIO JUST WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN SCOTLAND AND THAT'S A FACT - BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE UP HERE HAVE JOHNSON AND TRUSS WELL SUSSED OUT AND DESPISE THEM AND THEIR POLITICS/PARTY WITH A PASSION!!!!!
