The inference is that he's posing as if he's holding the camera when indeed someone else is holding the camera. It could, of course, be on a tripod with a wired remote control that he's just let go of but I somehow doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Ah OK. That explains it. Unsure if it warrants a Guido Fawkes investigation. The thing is the camera doesn't move so my assumption is that a tripod is involved. Edited May 28, 2019 by Seat68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I expect our media have covered this, and I've simply missed it. It's easily done. British Tory party donor charged for funding terrorism Quote A British Conservative Party donor has been charged with funding terrorist organisations, illegal arms dealing, fraud and money-laundering in Bangladesh. Mohammed Shahid Uddin Khan, 55, of Wimbledon, south-west London, was a former colonel in the Bangladeshi army. He is facing jail in his homeland after his Dhaka property was raided by counter-terrorism police in January. According to British paper The Sunday Times, Mr Khan has donated £20,000 (Dh93,395) to the Conservative party and has lived in the UK capital since 2009, when he bought a multimillion-pound “golden visa” to ensure he and his family could stay in the country. Bangadeshi police say they found detonators, weapons, radical literature linked to Al Qaeda and fake Bangladeshi currency in Mr Khan’s home. They say they have uncovered 54 bank accounts held by the donor, which provide evidence of money laundering and funding of terrorism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Staines is running his own 'Boris on the ballot' campaiogn then I'd imagine he's determined to do whatever it takes to have a go at other candidates especially Stewart, who has been quite vocal about how shit Boris Johnson would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted May 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2019 A long complaint against the Tory Party for widespread Islamophobia has been submitted to the EHRC. It's 26 pages long with cited examples. The long running issue has generated similar outcry to Labour's 'anti-Semitism crisis'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Felt bored, so checking in on their leadership race. Current status: Hunt (28 pledges) Johnson (26) Gove (25) Raab (22) Javid (12) Hancock (9) McVey (6) Harper (literally never heard of him) (4) Stewart (3) Leadsom (2) Malthouse (2) Cleverly (0) Mordaunt (undeclared so far) (Numbers from Conservative Home this morning, so may well be out of date: https://www.conservativehome.com/parliament/2019/05/leadership-election-candidate-support-numbers-hunt-27-johnson-19-raab-13-gove-12-javid-10.html) Ignoring the vanity/time-wasting/'please don't forget me when making your cabinet Mr Johnson' candidates, Hancock looks barely serious, Javid is a challenging distance behind, so it looks like a four-way battle so far. This seems likely to divide into two lanes, with Hunt and Gove competing in the 'moderate'/Continuity May lane, while Johnson and Raab compete in the No Deal lane. Logically suggests that the finale will be one from Column A and one from Column B. Interestingly, the head-to-head order from member's polling amongst those four is Johnson, Raab, Gove and Hunt in that order (ref: https://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2019/05/next-tory-leader-run-offs-our-panels-support-hasnt-changed-they-want-johnson-followed-by-raab-gove-javid-and-hunt-in-that-order.html).

Few like him in the party, most actively dislike him My other bold prediction is that Hunt will win, they know they need another sacrificial lamb, even grassroots Tories are nothing if not practical. It may also not get to the final two, the second place person (Raab imo) will stand down before it goes to the membership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) The Tory right align with Muslim right wingers. Good times. From experience, parents very rarely know what's best for their children. And if parents think they should hide the fact that gay people exist then then definitely don't. Edited May 30, 2019 by StefanAVFC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
