"He [Johnson] is a vacuum of integrity..."

https://twitter.com/KevKeith/status/1385869477720514569



(For friends across the pond if you do not know what this is about - a very brief brief. Someone leaked texts that the PM made and received with a very rich business man about reducing his workers tax burden if they come back to UK to help with ventilator development during the pandemic. Very naughty. Not using proper communication channels etc. No 10 accused the former special advisor - the uniquely overrated far right Brexit fanatic that is Dominic Cummings - of being the source of the leaks. Cummings came out with a very strongly worded statement yesterday saying it was not him and accusing the PM of illegality in the refurbishment funding of the flat BoJo lives in. Who knows. They are all liars. But the Tories are imploding and it is terribly good fun.)

Dominic Grieves has no shits left to give LOL

Who would have thought that the far right lying shitshow cabal of 'narcissistic, mendacious, incompetent, entitled, elitist, corrupt, hateful, and capable of illegality (Alistair Campbell)' wankers that brought us Brexit could be this awful at governing? 👀

Of course there would be a vacuum of integrity at the heart of any Brexit government, and to be fair you have to laugh at Cummings having the nerve to say in statement yesterday, that 'It is sad to see the PM and his office fall so far below the standards of competence and integrity the country deserves.' I mean come on... he has had more to do with the rot at the heart of Whitehall than any SPAD in history... Machiavelli would have looked on in wonder at the level of cunning, duplicity, and bad faith governance when Cummings held the power of number 10 in his hands.

He said (BoJo), he said (cummings), from a couple of the biggest liars in the land! Shit is about to get really amusing. Cummings going toe to toe with the number 10 machine. He knows where the bodies are buried, hell he held the spade...


(graphic mine)

This is going to get very nasty and is sooooo much fun for the rest us who have seen who they are since the beginning of the far right takeover over here. Tories be like Hehehehe.

And now a message from the pro-life party...

Fascists, racists, insurrectionists, shite supremacists, nasty fuckers who would rather see the death of law, order and justice and the overthrow of democracy to ensure that their morality and ethics free supporters get to kill black and brown people with impunity if they dare to raise their fists and demand better.

Are we really going to sit here and pretend there's no alternative to police gunning down teenager

Columbus police - the fatal police shooting of a 15-year-old girl - releasing bodycam that shows her attempting to stab two women - cause of course killing her was the only way to deescalate the situation *rolls eyes*

Even as the verdict in the Chauvin trial was coming in they still shoot from the hip.
