Westminstenders: PreGrades (Minority Report comes to the UK)

[RedToothBrush]

In Aug 2020, London, DC's prototype 'PreGrades' launched from the education department stops plebs before they go to university, reducing the social mobility rate to zero percent. Social mobility is predicted using specialized mutated humans, called "Teachers", who "predict" grades by marking shit lots of course work and exams over a period of years. Would-be social climbers are knocked down in a computer algorithm which distorts reality and hits the disadvantaged hardest. Central government is on the verge of adopting the controversial program nationwide by applying it in all departments from the DWP, the Home Office, the Department of Health and the Department of Justice to predict benefit fraud, getting sick asylum seeking and crime before it occurs.

DC's vision of the future is based on excellence being genetically ingrained into the elite but he must sell this vision to the unsuspecting public in a series of public votes which rely on the idea of the 'undeserving'. Little do they know that they too will be the victims of this plan until a mysterious bug appears and only the wealthy and well connected are able to get hold of adequate PPE and they are no longer able to buy bog roll nor retire to Spain as they had previously and endless queues for pizza form near Kent.

Led by donkeys publishing a statement by an immigrant who did the channel crossing

I don't see how a privacy based superinjunction could work - obviously wilfrid is known as a child of de pfeffel - so there is nothing to keep secret? The child is a few months old so publicity isn't going to impact him, certainly not more than the speculation.

Obviously if they have fallen out then he was in the tent.

Whilst I wouldn't be at all surprised if he'd been acting true to form this could well be a deliberate squirrel?

Do we have any proof that Carrie and baby were ever in Scotland?

I cannot see how disclosing where he's on holiday is a security risk.
Cameron used to go surfing on public beaches when he was PM.
Nobody wants Johnson dead.
He is far more useful to all groups alive and well and bollocksing stuff up

It's a legal minefield, with the penalties for getting it wrong being an unlimited fine plus damages plus prison.

With that much riding on it, you can bet your bottom dollar any editor within the Uks jurisdiction is going to play it safe.

Private Eye have published a few stories explaining the situation.

As far as I know (WARNING: I am not a lawyer !!!!) the basics are you can't even reveal the existence of the injunction (since it would pretty much have to detail what is being injuncted) and you can breach it even if you aren't aware of it's existence. Which may seem contrary to natural justice (which hasn't really stopped the UK before) but until it's challenged in a higher court than SCOTUK, that's how it is.

Pure speculation on my part ... but if other people speculations are even vaguely correct, then there's certainly a possibility that Rumpoles favourite - Congreve - might have something to say on the matter. (Apologies for disappearing up my arse, but sometimes it's better to be discreet to avoid the bots ...)

the basics are you can't even reveal the existence of the injunction

I think that’s what makes it a super-injunction, although the UK press can challenge on the basis of public interest.

I thought that Superinjunctions were now very much discouraged.
The Andrew Marr one was reduced to just an injunction
because they were being used to hide potentially illegal behaviour
(not in Marr's case but certainly in some of the ones the Barclay Family tried to have put in place)

Mary Bell orders relate only to criminals given new names

The Flora Keays case was very badly handled by the courts and hopefully the judges have learned their lesson

Do we have any proof that Carrie and baby were ever in Scotland?

Well I can't imagine that violin accoustics are improved in a tent - though I guess the location would be OK for some Mendelssohn...
:)

Getting her out of the country before the story breaks?

I don't think she was ever in Scotland - I think she scarpered a while back - when was she last seen?

I think the moving back to number 10 b/c of security fears is cover for the fact she was not there , and now the press now supposedly know where they were holidaying, it would be quite odd if she never left the house?
I think hiring the house was cover for staying on the super yacht...... with the exposure of Russian money in UK politics, probably not the best look to be staying on an oligarchs yacht.

Can I just add - I am normally someone who always sees the best in people , Boris and DC -I absolutely expect the worse

I can't imagine Boris security detail being thrilled about the potential loose cannon of a disaffected partner. Quite aside from the level of operational knowledge they may have that could compromise his security, there's the problem of knowing if today they are in or out of favour.

I would hope and pray that the complete lack of spine shown by all and every Tory MP is countered by some pretty harsh plain talking from men with guns telling Boris he has to put his house in order, joined by a warning from the intelligence services that they can't stretch to vetting every women he ever meets "just in case".

If I was mildly sceptical about his "Covid period" before, I'm even more so now. I reckon it was another bust up with Carrie. Maybe she put him in hospital ? If so I may have a dustbin lid I can gild and she can wear around her neck .

Boris is always on holiday when shit happens and refuses to come home. 2010 London riots. Boris away. Ken on the streets the next day (ok getting himself publicity but equally he does know what’s required of a mayor.) Boris eventually, grudgingly came home, a day late and a dollar short.

I do hope all the Russian violinist gossip is true.

@TatianaBis

Well for the sake of some people on Twitter anyway. As Sally Bercow discovered, libel can be expensive. And I can't think of a court in the land that would disagree that being called Boris Johnsons mistress is a reputation breaker if false. I know he's not Pol Pot, but he's certainly got a lot to answer for.

Tatiana why do you hope it’s true?

While it would have been a cheap shot, it's still too classy for the man people aren't calling BoJo anymore.

Once again, I find some posters interesting by their absence ..

DGR
I admit I took a decision a few months back that none of them deserve
nicknames / familiar names
so they all get surnames from now on in

I would be quite happy to see it being true, for Bozo, because as a man who appears to have no morals, no scruples whatever, and doesn't care about the people in the country, it cuts him down to size. He was a disgrace to the Office of Foreign Secretary and he's a disgrace to the Office of PM. People like May may well have been misguided and lacked vision, but I think she was basically an honest woman. I think she was treated shabbily by Bozo.

From Carrie's point of view - she was an idiot to take up with him. I am sure there are better men out there, and ones who could be a decent step dad to her son.

If these rumours are true, my mind is well and truly boggled. I mean, I can (in an abstract, theoretical way) sort of almost see how power might be alluring to some people, but really.....??
WTF do these women see in that shambolic, burbling, adulterous, inept, corrupt oaf?

There's no rule that women can't be stupid. Sadly.

And in the case of the rumoured new squeeze, could geographical origin provide an explanation (which might well not be starry-eyed love or unbridled lust)?

Auld, it is certainly one of life's mysteries. Deodorant of success of being promoted above his capabilities?

As far as any woman who involves herself with Johnson....my sympathy knows no beginning.

Some women like a project. And he is considered likeable generally.

Likeable by whom? My DD met him, and instantly considered him detestable. And normally she has exceptionally poor taste in men.
