Fuck sake.

Must be his turn to talk bollocks and show the world what cunts they are(as @intiniki has said, it’s an hourly occurrence).

Mentioned this in the “What are you reading thread”, but tbh, this is a much more appropriate place to discuss it.
I expected to sit knowingly chuckling during Tim Shipman’s Fall Out, his account of May’s reign and the 2017 general election. Knee deep in Part 3, I’m slightly scared.
Most will remember that following the disastrous 2017 poll, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, Theresa May’s infamous special advisers, were given the boot by the Tory faithful, sacrificial lambs to the altar of May.
Fuck me. If half the accounts of their fuckery are true, it really doesn’t bode well for our present superior leader. She allowed them to tell her what to do. One of the sources in the book describes May as a “captive”. She tacitly condoned a culture of bullying from this pair, stepped up to bat for them over the passport issue while she was Home Secretary after they’d thrown a civil servant to the wolves for following their direction.
In one conversation, they stand in a spot where they assumed Cameron and Osborne would have conversed. One would say “I’m a posh cunt”. The other would exclaim that “I’m a posher cunt”. This all took place in Downing Street, in front of May. They also openly called Hammond a cunt in front of people that would definitely tell him about it, again, in Downing Street.
Remember that Shipman is a Tory with no time for Corbyn and co, and the account is even more astonishing. The most charitable assessment is that May, lacking soft skills of her own, use the street fighting instincts to help form her political strategy, and even that is fucking damning.
Damian Green gone.
David Davis said he’d resign if Green went.
Is Damian an omen for general election 2018?

In the weasel words of politics, I suspect DD would say I would quit if he was hung out to dry, however cos he resigned then all is good in the hood
Pretty sure Davis said he would resign if Green was sacked.
He hasn’t been sacked.
He was asked to resign and his resignation was accepted.

It’s almost certainly what Davis will do.
However, that’s May’s last actual ally gone. She’s apparently quite nice up close, and loyal to those close to her, but she just doesn’t have the political breadth. She’s not a people person.
It’s why she saw fit to enlist maniacs like Hill and Timothy, and had to draw on Green in the first place. He was the only senior figure in cabinet that didn’t want her job.
Meanwhile, we’ve Gavin Williamson, former Chief Whip, privy to everybody’s secrets, now anointed to Defense Minister because the last one was a bit handsy.
I’ve been watching too much House of Cards. I’m putting a bet on Williamson as next PM.

Just heard him on R4 squirming over this, but didn’t resign - bloody politicians - and they wonder why people don’t trust then. Actually, that’s wrong, they don’t care what Joe public thinks…
If he was asked to resign, and he was, that’s a sacking, by anyone’s Parliamentary definition.

One of the oddest things in the whole Damian Green farrago is his insistence that he neither downloaded nor viewed any pornographic images on his Commons PC. He admits lying about knowing that it was there, as his lawyers were told this at the time (2008), and he also discussed the matter with the police five years later.
So, if he knew that it was there, but had nothing to do with its presence there, why didn’t he do anything about it at the time? He wasn’t some junior MP who would be too frightened to say anything - he was a shadow minister and the PC was in his parliamentary office. If he suspected some underling of making free with his PC to download a shit ton of porn, surely he’d have done his best to find the culprit and string him up by his goolies. While it’s plausible (at a push) that he knew nothing about said porn until his lawyers were told about it, his inaction following the receipt of such information beggars belief.
Unless, of course, he did indeed download the stuff. Hmm, now that’s a hard one…

Politicians still lie through their teeth and expect to get away with it. Perhaps if they lost their seats as well as their Government jobs they might think twice about being “economical with the truth?” Sadly they could put a chimpanzee up for Parliament round here and it would still get voted in. Fowllyd nailed it though. Very strange that he apparently did nothing about it when told. Very dodgy all round.

If he didn’t lie about it, I’d think there was something srs wrong with him! If someone found out all the filfth I look at on my work computer, and I’m not just talking bout the stuff goatboy pm’s me, though that is tbh some of the worst of it, I would lie my face off!
That’s why I always have my password as “password”, so I can make out like it could’ve been anyone.

Now this is what I hate about the MPs. You do something like Damien Green (or Ed Joyce) and they just have to resign any ministerial posts or the whip is withdraw. They still have their job. How??? In any walk of life you would be fired for this. On the spot.
But someone else did it he bleats
Ok Then I am firing you for giving out your password.
Bunch of cunts, every single last one of them.

You telling me you never jacked it at work CB? Give the guy a break!
We need a right of recall.
Green has done himself up big style. Taking in everything he said, he pretty much admits to being a useless wanker.
Tbf, I suspect the public does believe him on that.
