peterms Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 For those who may have heard that Mr Johnson's principal adviser openly admits the tories don't care about poor people or the NHS, but who harbour some doubt about whether he's been misquoted, here's the lad himself giving it large.

He could be just a normal everyday polite chap.

peterms Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ah. Slight technical issue there. Bit of an arithmetic fail. Still, who could have known that so many police would be leaving? Other than their employer, obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't think there's very much airbrushing of Corbyn going on in here, and this is a fairly lefty bubble. Johnson came to Wales today and refused to do any recorded interviews for any Welsh media. Our own Prime Minister. That's an absolute **** disgrace, 13 weeks from Brexit. When asked what plans he had for Welsh agriculture that might be faced with no deal and no exports in 13 weeks time, he said (I paraphrase because I can't find a quote because he wouldn't go on camera) 'sort of benefits or refunds or something'. 13 weeks. Here's hoping the EU think he's an entertaining scamp they want to indulge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say anything about you airbrushing anything That you’d take Corbyn over Johnson is hardly an earth shattering revelation tbf , you could have saved the Internet some ink and just assumed I already knew this he did the same in scotchland yesterday with the media fwiw , It’s almost like a syndication type deal has been stuck !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the opposite I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
