Well I thought it was amusing! I know these political threads are serious but honestly, who on earth was going to be ‘my unimpeachable authority’ really?
I quite like a touch of irreverence especially when it comes to politicians - they and their disciples take themselves far too seriously and the basic decencies nowhere near seriously enough. In my opinion, of course.
Urmstongran I think we need a bit of light hearted jocularity on the political threads...........three years and three months of the same argument seems to be getting to some posters ???
Oooooh, GGMK3, you'll get removed for that.... Not allowed to say other posters are stupid... They'll be pressing their 'report' buttons even as I type...
As a staunch Remainer, even some of those ‘loyal friends’ of Rudd are still wondering why she ever contemplated a Cabinet job with Johnson, let alone accepted one!
This made me giggle: During the referendum campaign, she mocked him as the ‘life and soul of the party but not the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening’. Apparently Boris still often greets Rudd with the words: ‘Want a lift?’ ?
"she went to a good school" it failed to inculcate a sense of honour! Oh My. Boris Johnson, Reece Mogg and co all went to "a good school". - Didn't help them become decent honourable human beings, did it.
She says she did actually believe that Johnson was trying to broker a deal with the EU when she joined the cabinet, and I believe her. But the fact that she's left because she realised he was lying about it makes me question what some peoples interpretation of 'honourable' is.
