Westministender: Amen to that!

On the Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Johnson went to Westminster Abbey and was trolled. Its almost divine in its irony.

In a week where just about the entire right wing press has turned on him, for being... well shit... They have the dawning realisation that yes all those annoying lefties were right all along when they said he was full of nothing but hot air. He's been ridiculed for being paid £150,000 a year and not being able to feed his 5000 kids and the pictures to mark the anniversary of him becoming PM do little more than look like a man who couldn't tie his own shoe laces without a nanny to help him.

But its not really a laughing matter. This man doesn't understand what legal agreements he's signed so his solution to his ineptitude is to throw his toys out of the pram together with the rule of law. Which he also does not understand.

Johnson is also ever increasingly keen on ripping up inconvient human right and workers right and he has ample opportunity to do all this in the middle of a pandemic.

Unfortunately the hypocrisy of his cronies isn't exactly helping the behaviour of the public and you have to pity the poor behavioural scientists who have to tell him that 'of course the public are going to give you the vs when you tell them you shouldn't do this when your chief advisor claims to be maybe going blind'.

It seems the whole government strategy on managing the virus seems to be falling flat on its face rather sooner than planned cos they stuck Dildo in charge who wouldn't know her Rs from her elbow if it hit her in the face. And we've got Hancock going full on 1984, telling us not to believe the reports that no one can get a test because its all lies - except half the country has either first hand experience of the travesty of Track and Trace or has a close mate who they know is a hell of a lot more reliable than any of these fuckwits when it comes to telling the truth.

Meanwhile in America Bader Ginsburg has managed to die at possibly the most inconvient and dangerous time possible just as the future of democracy in the US is clinging on by its finger nails.

And yes. Money laundering. Haven't we talked about that a lot on these threads. Its almost as if FinCEN was predictable...

Taking back control was always about the elite taking back control from the masses. But if you've managed to keep following all this time, we've been saying that since April 2016 and no one listened then, so why would they start listening now?

I expect that’s because the rules are just for the plebs, they don’t apply to him and his pals. As previously demonstrated.
Singasonga · 29/09/2020 14:12

He's really flailing now. And it's not even No Deal yet. Imagine what's to come...

Peregrina · 29/09/2020 14:19

He won't know them because someone else made them and he couldn't be bothered to read what they were.

In other news, DD's class bubble has just popped - a positive COVID case in her class, so we got called to collect her from school at lunchtime and now she's under house arrest for 14 days.

Ugh that Ford news is so depressingly predictable.

June 2019;
"Nearly half of Ford's European job cuts will be in Germany."

"US carmaker Ford said Thursday [2019] that it plans to slash a total of 12,000 jobs across Europe as part of a previously-announced restructuring."

"That means nearly half–5,400–of the planned job cuts by the car manufacturer are in Germany."

"The firm said it plans to close or sell six plants in Britain, France, Russia and Slovakia in 2019 and 2020."

"Group chief executive Jim Hackett announced last autumn a massive restructuring of the American firm, aiming to save $11 billion and turn Ford into a more "agile" group with faster decision-making processes."

www.thelocal.de/20190627/nearly-half-of-fords-european-job-cuts-in-germany

July 2019 "Ford to close Bridgend factory by September 2020"

"Stuart Rowley, the president of Ford in Europe, said the closure was prompted by the US carmaker’s global cost-cutting drive"...

“This action has nothing to do with Brexit,” he said. “If Brexit had never happened would it have been a different decision? The answer to that is no.”

@Clavinova

wrong thread. So much bad Brexit news it's hard to keep up.

Clavinova · 29/09/2020 16:39

Fair enough.

yolio · 29/09/2020 21:02

There will be another extension if they can, not sure if that's allowed, but I suppose it will be if requested.

I am in ROI and we are very worried, and laughing at the ineptitude of the current Gov in UK at the same time. It is difficult to be impartial anymore when faced with the current crop. But we shall see what happens. Not long to go now.

And I hear that the law that breaks the law has now been approved by HOC. Lovely.
