How wrong is it to have the raging horn for Gavin Williamson?

Just been researching who might have broken the Official Secrets Act and leaked the Huawei information from the NSC. Then followed up with extra research on each of the scurrilous candidates.

Gavin Williamson seems like a dreadful person.

But...phew-ee tiger!

That one is long overdue.

longwayoff · 01/05/2019 19:06

Well OP, get into your frilly nighty, he'll have lots of time now.

Langrish · 01/05/2019 20:19

🎉🎉🎉
Haven’t felt so cheery about politics since I can’t remember when.
The fact that the fuckwit genuinely believed he was Prime Ministerial material says all that needs to be said about him.

goldenchicken · 01/05/2019 20:21

I don't see it sorry.

Laodamia · 01/05/2019 20:25

Today's events have given me a warm glow all over.

And he's determined not to go quietly. Oh joy. Hope it ends with him being thrown in the clink.

OP, you're bonkers.

luckylavender · 01/05/2019 20:34

He's disgusting. Doesn't he have a tarantula to make him look cool?

Iamnotagoddess · 01/05/2019 20:54

He visited OHs work this week.

OH was saying the rub was that he was thinking he would take over from TM.

How I laughed when I saw this today Grin

longwayoff · 02/05/2019 09:34

Yes, it's brightened things up no end. This could run and run.

Hold me back! 🤮

Girasole02 · 02/05/2019 16:47

He's my local MP and generally regarded as a bit of a tosser.

ForalltheSaints · 02/05/2019 16:49

Girasole02 so understatement is a trait in your local area then.

It’s wrong. Very, very wrong.

mamalovebird · 02/05/2019 17:23

He has a look of Alan Partridge about him 🤢 Sorry OP.

FatherBuzzCagney · 02/05/2019 17:30

Yes, very Partridge-y, but thicker. Seems totally incapable of thinking on his feet as the (described by HuffPost as 'The Battle of the Partridges') showed.

justarandomtricycle · 02/05/2019 17:33

@OP you can be honest with us... are you Gavin Williamson, come here to chance your arm?

I mean it seems unlikely since you changed your mind on seeing photos, but given the photos that still seems possible.

AnyFucker · 02/05/2019 17:39

He has very poor posture

Almahart · 02/05/2019 17:42

Oh god no

Langrish · 02/05/2019 20:00

Girasole02

I take great issue with your statement. He is most certainly not generally regarded as a bit of a tosser anywhere.
He is generally regarded - everywhere - as an absolute tosser, tossiest tosser that ever tossed.

DialDownTheIanPaisley · 02/05/2019 20:04

Can I ask - why is he so hated? I’m not a fan but it seems as soon as he was appointed journos were mercilessly taking the piss and people were talking about how much they hated him. Not saying it’s not deserved, but I don’t think I fully understand why.

Langrish · 02/05/2019 20:14

Because he’s - allegedly - a war-mongering nutter completely unequal to the post. Journos disliked and distrusted him already because of his allegedly very nasty, underhand tactics during his time as chief whip.
His reaction to these allegations appear to reinforce that assessment of his character. Anyone who protests that the PM ought to have his back purely on the basis that he’d dug her out of a couple of holes (ie I scratched her back, she should scratch mine) should never have been given a position of such huge importance and responsibility as Defence. Russia should just shut up and go away? We’re going to send our big, shiny aircraft carrier (that doesn’t have any aircraft yet😂) to the South China Sea to show them who’s boss? Colleagues who call him Private Pike (you know, that “stupid boy” 🙄
You really need to ask?

DialDownTheIanPaisley · 02/05/2019 21:11

Thanks Langrish.

user1479305498 · 02/05/2019 21:38

In recent years the only one I quite fancied was Andy Burnham

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 02/05/2019 23:23

I would like to thank each and every one of you for curing me of my momentary aberration. It is clearly evident that the man's a wanker who had one decent photo taken once in his life and the rest of the time (horrible character set completely aside) looks like a flooby grinning loon.

I feel braced.
