      James Cameron and Tony Blair did the exact same thing. Blair owns about a dozen country estates, and his son set up a PLC/LLC for the elite to invest their assets. Cameron skipped off to the French Riviera as soon as his PM ended. It's a club, based on silence and payouts.

How do the two compare? They don't. Regardless, Boris should go to jail for negligent manslaughter for his part in 1000s of needless carehome deaths, and blantant corrupt misallocation of public funds during Covid. He should have 2 life sentences, and Hancock and Sunak should have at least 1 each! When did Starmer waste billions of taxpayer money on unusable PPE and tracking apps? And when did he needlessly cause 1000s of people to die in a completely avoidable way? He didn't you disingenuous little gremlin.

      I challenge you to explain which parts are "bilge" and why? If you're a Johnson supporter there's pages and pages of bilge from him so you should be qualified to spot it.

      We’ll be saying the same about Labour in ten years, and the circle will continue. I’ve no love for the tories, but if you think it will change much when Labour get in, it won’t. Labour will have the same problem the tories have, there’s not enough going in to fund this country’s needs. They might increase taxes to the wealthy, but will gloss over the consequences. Honesty, integrity, ethics, and morality are pushed out of political parties be they left or right. Maybe it’ll be different this time, we can only hope.

    What's the big fuss about? All that chaged is that he no longer gets paid for pretending to be an MP. He never worked as an MP, never cared about his constiuency and got highly paid for that anyway. Same with Dorries.

      @PEdulis It's the manner in which and the real reason (as opposed to his stated reason) for which he did it, that make it worth making a fuss about.
      That said, what he's done is totally in keeping with his character, so maybe it shouldn't register any more than any other day in the life of this narcisistic clown...
