Kwasi Kwarteng at the Queen’s funeral.

It's all most peculiar.
Like the 1984 book, with the department who rewrite the news.

Very strange there is no press coverage of his odd behaviour. I would have thought they would have been all over this like a rash. Hmm! Wish I knew some journalists who must know something about what is going on.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, my experience is it’s usually cock up rather than conspiracy. Despite that, I’m curious and rather suspicious that the news print, tv, radio aren’t covering this. The public response to the death of Her Majesty reflected affection, respect and feelings of loss.
The Queen’s funeral is the most significant state event in my life time.
We have a government minister behaving oddly, is he ill, under the influence or someone who doesn’t know what’s expected at such an important moment?

Im not a fan of Jeremy Corbyn but can you imagine the outrage if he’d behaved like this? Yes I know he’s unlikely to have accepted an invitation - Tony Blair or David Cameron then?

or someone who doesn’t know what’s expected at such an important moment?
I don't think that can be the case

Just mentioned this to DS who asked where I'd heard about this. I vaguely said 'the internet' and he's just given me a warning about accessing dodgy sites on the internet.

I didn't like to tell him it was Gransnet.

Although, sometimes it does seem rather dodgy these days ?

If he didn’t know what to expect, surely he is astute enough to read the room and pick up on the solemnity of the occasion. I very much doubt that this reason was behind his odd behaviour.

On the video, it has the sky news logo.
I appreciate there are different ways to doctor stuff, but, hmmm...

Callistemon - dodgy gransnet ?. Groups of grannies trying to get to The Truth

Miss A - I think we can accept this vid hasn’t been doctored by Sky News - can we ?
If it had been ‘enhanced’ by the Twitterati, surely Mr Kwoteng would be suing
I’ve been watching Captured where fake
Interviews are broadcast ?‍?

Iam64 I think I got the "talk" that the DGC get - he is obviously worried about me trawling unsuitable sites ?
He may be right.

To be honest, his behaviour is so bizarre, that with hindsight, I presume it must be doctored footage; but if so, why has no-one come forward and said so? The news blackout is very odd and the lack of defence of his behaviour is even more odd!

Curlywhirly no, he’s on drugs.
The country is in that bad a state.
And he can’t even handle the blooming things.
You know, wait until you are Chancellor of the Exchequer and it’s the biggest funeral of all time, and then drop your first E (or whatever he’s decided to do; I’m favouring this over coke)

Because of the gurning?

That’s what I thought
What’s your opinion MissA?

I wondered was lack of coverage by mainstream media because they were afraid of a backlash if they were seen to criticise a black politician so early in his post?

That’s what I thought
What’s your opinion MissA?

Well it did occur to me that it might be, plus the look of wonderment he had... almost ecstatic, I'd say.

Oh, is this the way they say the future's meant to feel?

I seem to have left an important part of my brain, somewhere... somewhere in a field, in Hampshire.

From what I’ve seen and heard from him to date, he’s a ghastly man and comes across as ever so slightly aggressive ! Only a personal opinion of course

Perhaps he's another old Etonian who think the rules don't apply to him.

well there appear to be plenty of them

Was he on Bluetooth?

One of the Cardinals seemed to be checking his mobile phone,thought they were banned in the Abbey! Perhaps
He had a divine right!

If it is a doctored video then I feel it should be criminalised. People change their vote on things like this which is an affront to democracy. Remember the doctored video of Starmer hesitating for ages which made him look an idiot. Very unfair dirty tricks.

Perhaps he was chuckling to himself at the thought of the awful Budget he was going to spring on us.

If it was Silvergirl, surely the Cons would have made it known and officially complained. They have totally ignored this, not a single comment. And yet those around him, and Carrie in front, seemed very aware and embarrassed.
