Thanks Bozo, adds to the gaiety of the nation I suppose. That's laughing AT not laughing WITH. AIBU to say this is just the cherry on the cake with the MPs salary increase?

Utterly sickening. Yanbu.

BornBlonde · 03/03/2022 19:32

He must know about even more parties/corruption/affairs/illegal/immoral incidents than have already been leaked

Isolemnlyscare · 03/03/2022 19:34

He doesn't deserve a blue peter badge let alone a fucking knighthood!!!!!!!!!!!!

Burnshersmurfs · 03/03/2022 19:36

All those people with knighthoods must be mortified. Imagine being in a club that would have him as a member.

MakeUsACuppa · 03/03/2022 19:36

I read this and thought it was a joke!

Literally at a loss to understand why

TheMoth · 03/03/2022 19:40

It's like they want us all to resign en masse. Behaviour is the worst I've ever known: from threats, to fights to the constant refusal to go to lessons. I've taught a long time, but it's just wearing now.
The pressure on us to get results is still relentless.
I could deal with the lack of pay increase- until all my bills and up at once.
The 2020 disaster. Fucking cags last year in an essay subject.
The shit from press and public.

But Gav gets a knighthood. Twat. Twats.

LaQuern · 03/03/2022 19:42

Sweet fucking Jesus.

Twats.

That is all.

JustDanceAddict · 03/03/2022 19:42

Absolutely ludicrous and an insult to all kids who suffered educationally during covid.

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the FUCK?
This.

He must have something massive on Boris. WTAF?!

bigbluebus · 03/03/2022 19:50

Why is this being announced now? I thought honours were given for New Year and The Queen's birthday?

I think the full quote was something like 'we've trousered the cash stolen from the Russian people so now Russia should shut up and go away until we put our collective mitt out for more. Again'.

I'm hardly surpised, TBH. Boris's cock isn't gonna suck itself

TankFlyBoss · 03/03/2022 20:12

WTAF

@ArseInTheCoOpWindow

The most wankiest Ed secretary ever.
No Gove has that title
Egghead68 · 03/03/2022 20:25

FFS.

In return for staying quiet I guess

GreenLunchBox · 03/03/2022 20:30

I had to Google the "frankly Russia should go away and shut up".

It's real

Shock

Sadly, it is real. The dodgy Russian bribes donations. The total incompetence throughout the Cabinet. The greed. The lies. The smirking. The Brexit lies - Mr Putin sends his thanks. The contempt for us proles and our ignorance of 'how things work'. It's all real.

WTAF the man is an idiot but of course a very loyal idiot. DS. Teachers, in particular, must be appalled.
More bad news on a bad news dayAngry

Unbelievable. To be honest I have no respect for the honours system anymore.
People who achieve great things or have a long career in public service is fair enough.

But Williamson? The man is so wet, and incompetent.
He’s gets rewarded with failure with a knighthood?!!

Shows just how corrupt this shower of shite in government are. Jobs for the boys.

I didn’t like Ken Livingstone very much, but I respected him when he turned down a knighthood, he doesn’t want believe in it. He shown me some morals with that.

ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 03/03/2022 21:27

@Rainartist

I am DISGUSTED, we have the misfortune to have him as MP Hmm he must know where the bodies are buried...
I feel sorry for you with him as your MP. Our MP is Conservative, have had no gripes about him, but those of you with Williamson, Hancock etc ...

I think you should all go out on strike. Seriously. Piss-taking government knighting the most useless corrupt pathetic excuse for an education secretary there's ever been... the moral example to the kids is what, exactly, Boris, you corrupt piece of shit?

Standards are down the toilet. Morals nowhere.

So many red flags with these tory crims and everyone's letting them run riot.

Choccy21 · 03/03/2022 22:23

Be crap and useless. But as long as your loyal to Boris, he’ll look after you.
Probably why so many of Boris Johnson cronies keep quiet and don’t speak out.
If they play the long game, they’ll get knighted/ honoured when they leave office.

It’s actually criminal what goes on yet nobody in the British public seems to give a shit.
Or we are so used to this government being so rogue that nothing shocks us.
