ml1dch Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Superlative idiocy from Irritable Duncan Syndrome today. Apparently the CBI shouldn't be trusted when they say that Brexit is a spectacular mess, because their precursor said that appeasement was the best way to deal with the the Nazis. Somewhat forgetting that another group who thought that appeasement was the best way of dealing with that problem was the Conservative government of the time. And the best place to publish these witterings? The at-the-time-Hitler-supporting Daily Mail, obviously. Edited June 28, 2018 by ml1dch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The interns got at the Times again... ... and the FT has been down on Fat Prick Boris... Quote Boris Johnson’s Brexit explosion ruins Tory business credentials The foreign secretary’s outburst reveals commerce has lost out to nationalism “**** business.” Never was the Brexit manifesto more succinctly captured than in Boris Johnson’s impromptu aside. As slogans go, it has everything. It surfs the populist wave of anger towards elites. It is easy to understand. Hell, it’s even shorter than “take back control”. The UK’s foreign secretary apparently outlined his new business strategy at a private reception, when challenged about the clamour from Airbus and BMW over the threat to jobs and investment. Mr Johnson’s aides say the remark was aimed at business lobbyists. It makes little difference. (He has now fled to Kabul to avoid having to resign rather than vote with the government for a new runway at Heathrow. The foreign secretary had said he would lie down in front of the bulldozers. It turns out he preferred to lie low.) “**** business.” It may have been a casual aside but it was also a revealingly contemptuous one, not least in its indifference to the fate of Airbus’s UK staff. This is the strategic nihilism of a spoiled child lashing out. After two years of failing to offer up even a scintilla of a plan, relying on magical thinking and the belief that if Britain just held its nerve, Europe would fold, this is all he had left — a petulant explosion. It is only a few weeks since Mr Johnson was caught saying much the same thing about Ireland as its complexities threatened the simplicity of his Brexit. So f*** business, f*** Northern Ireland — there is no workforce too large to sacrifice, no damage too great to endure as long as someone else does the enduring.

Xann Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Quote An occupational health expert has been recognised with a high-ranking honour just weeks after refusing to say if he was shown vital documents linking the government’s “fitness for work” test with the deaths of benefit claimants. Dr Paul Litchfield was asked in early April if the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) had shown him the documents when he was reviewing the work capability assessment (WCA) in 2013 and 2014. But Litchfield (pictured), who has just retired as BT’s chief medical officer, refused to say if he was shown letters written by two coroners and a number of secret DWP internal reviews into deaths linked to the WCA regime. Just two months later, he was recognised with a CBE in the “Prime Minister’s list” of this month’s birthday honours, receiving the award for “services to wellbeing in the workplace”. He published the final two independent reviews of the WCA in December 2013 and November 2014, but neither of his reviews mentioned the key documents that linked the WCA and the deaths of claimants. Even though DWP possessed all the documents, it claims it holds no information in its records on whether they were shown to Litchfield while he was reviewing the WCA. Since Disability News Service (DNS) revealed the existence of the documents in the years after Litchfield’s final report was published, concerns have continued to mount that DWP and its ministers took deliberate steps to cover up evidence of the fatal impact of the assessment on sick and disabled people.
