No. Per Occam’s razer, the simplest explanation is that he’s a massive thundercunt, so going with that.

Precisely why I said the wallpaper stunt might have been funny, but it leaves voters thinking that’s the only thing Labour has…
So it plays against them when it matters.
What are they?!
Irrelevant. I’m quite happy about that, but this hot pit of socialism tends to scorn at the thought. I avoid politics on forums for most of the time, because they rarely lead to anyone having an epiphany, or jumping sides!
So, at exactly the time that Sir James Dyson is seeking tax immunity for executives visiting the UK in connection with the imaginary ventilators they were supposed to make, Boris Johnson’s little bro gets a Directorship at one of Dyson’s satellite companies -
And yes, this is copy of the actual filing from Co’s House, and yes it is part of the overall Dyson empire, and a tiny token one at that. Not my find, but thought I’d check it all out.

Labour haven’t really had a chance since Dec 19 election to make a stamp what with brexit and the pandemic.
It’s not easy to attack a pm when you are in a crisis. But as we hopefully come out of lockdown, brexit debris will start to be found in people’s workplace if they still have jobs.The tories can only hide so much brexit shit under covid. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Johnson run and let someone else take the flak.
But Labour need to come out with their polices, and soon.
It’s inconceivable you’d ask a non domicile resource to come and help voluntarily in a crisis, and not protect them from the implications of the (unintended) tax consequences.
Dyson were looking for a rule that would apply to anyone. I think it’s impossible to challenge that argument. Dyson lost money out of it.
It is possible to wonder if it is appropriate as a concept that someone could use personal contact channels to hold [any] work conversations with the PM.
I don’t really care the conversations were private as they would just lead to actions played out transparently through the civil service (no evidence here anything was subverted).
Lots of red herrings in that kerfuffle which is why it all died a quick death.
(The director post does seem like bad timing that could have been avoided!)
better hidden surely?

There is a reason why company law schedules are almost as thick as tax law ones…
Excellent

Maybe if the PM had focused on dealing with people who actually made ventilators for a living rather than pandering to an ex pat attention seeking cunt who never made a ventilator, ever, then we might have actually got some ventilators in shorter order.

Exactly. People are dead because of these “red herrings” and “kerfuffle”, and only a heartless tory cunt would find such corruption anything other than scandalous.

And it looks like they will all get away with everything they have done. Tragic.

Is it tragic if that’s what the people vote for?
Yes
I’m not sure if tragic is the right word.
How many lives were taken due to years of Tory austerity, and yet they get one of the largest majorities based on a three word logo, we have 130K dead from covid and a huge number of lives impacted due to that.
We have an example of a man whose company has never built a ventilator, stating he spent £20m on designing one, still for his never building one, wanting tax exemption for his execs in return for doing this by texting his good buddy. Existing designs could have been used I would have thought.
You have Northern Ireland fighting over Brexit because of a border that isn’t a border and small companies losing money and probably going bust.
And all I’ve heard today is that Hartlepool, a Labour seat for 60 odd years is probably going to go Tory tomorrow.
I don’t think tragic really does it justice. I’m not entirely sure I can think of a word that really does.

The people do have a choice.
The problem is that a large percentage of them just aren’t interested or don’t understand (often both) what they are voting for, beyond what “Insta” tells them they are.
The word is sad or, being more harsh, pathetic.

Sadly you are right
We are doomed.
