You, idiot!

Oh dear bird-brain, let me help you out. Shops previously forced to close due to Covid-19 restrictions reported an increase in sales when they are allowed to open again.

It just gets worse: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/brexit-news-live-uk-didn-t-get-deal-it-wanted-for-ni-frost-admits-as-britain-desperate-over-trade-talks/ar-AAKbqPj?ocid=msedgntp The UK did not secure the Brexit deal it wanted for Northern Ireland, the former chief negotiatior David Frost has admitted. Speaking toThe Spectator, the minister blamed the pressure the government faced in late 2019 for the disappointing result. His words paint a different picture from Boris Johnson’s assurances in November 2019 that Northern Ireland had “a great deal”. In other Brexit-related news, an expert has accused the government of appearing “desperate” in its attempts to strike free trade deals. David Henig, the co-founder of the UK Trade Forum, told the BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that a deal with Australia will set a precedent for future ones with other major agricultural exporters like New Zealand and the US. He suggested it was not “the smartest of moves” for the UK to strive for a deal by the G7 Summit on 11 June, as this gives Australia a stronger bargaining position. “We are desperate to get those deals - that’s the modus operandi of this government. We need to hope they are going to be the right deals and balance all the different interests,” Mr Henig said. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rspca-farmers-brexit-australia-mulesing-b1850143.html The RSPCA is up in arms over Boris Johnson’s plans for a free-trade deal with Australia that would mean the UK buying the produce of practices considered too cruel to be carried out in Britain. The animal-welfare charity is warning giving the country tariff-free access to the UK would “betray the public, farmers and animals” and could set back animal welfare by decades.

Johnson's comments yesterday about how the countryside should not be "pickled in aspic" were something of a giveaway regarding this government's intentions towards its agricultural and rural inheritance. In essence, fu*ck the farmers, they're just sitting on billions of pounds of potential prime real estate ripe for development by Tory donors. Allow foreign factory farms to flood our market with sub-standard tariff-free produce and you yield up vast swathes of the UK countryside to turn into housing estates. Truss has proved herself to be a scruple-free zone on many occasions, and I'm sure Boris has promised her a cosy seat in the Lords as reward for her ideological commitment to the cause. I suspect a few seats are already being warmed on the boards of a few house building companies in anticipation.

At last! The police find a useful role for Patel as a road block

Indeed! It has long been claimed that certain newspaper journalists were in on the cover up. The idea that the Home Office needs to redact parts of the report to protect national security is as laughable as it is sinister. That the treasonous Patel is at the heart of another scandal is, of course, no surprise. I suspect Johnson thought it another of his "jolly japes" to put the morally putrid Patel in charge of the Home Office given her record for a total disregard of rules of conduct.

Is this a case of NOT getting what you DIDN'T pay for: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/boris-johnson-s-840-a-roll-gold-wallpaper-keeps-falling-down-as-decorators-called-back-in/ar-BB1gUEwu?ocid=msedgntp Boris Johnson is facing yet more embarrassment over the costly refurbishment of his flat at No 11 Downing Street after it was reported that his “massively expensive” new wallpaper is already peeling loose and curling at the corners. Westminster sources told The Daily Mail that specialist decorators have been recalled to the apartment to rehang the “hand-crafted” £840-a-roll gold furnishing, the work of Soane Britain interior decorator Lulu Lytle, who was spotted on site last October.

Is that the best you've got? A tedious repetition of words relating to the recognition of the equal rights of all our people. Perhaps you might like to comment on the following video detailing a certain politician's involvement in a conspiracy to violently assault a journalist:

Referring back to Ange’s speech, she named the PM, the Home Secretary, the Health Secretary and Lord Lister, whose total declared takings since January 2020 benchmark amounted to just £4,660 for Boris and £55,586 for Hancock. Surprisingly Priti doesn’t have a single register of interest entry… Rayner’s coffers on the other hand have been working overtime. Since January 2020 Angie has received: 21 January: £50,000 from Waheed Ali 22 January: £1,683.21 from GMB 22 January: £47,227.58 from GMB 26 January: £1,000 from Simeon Honore 30 January: £25,000 from GMB 31 January: £10,000 from Rajesh Agrawal 4 February: £10,000 from USDAW 11 February: £25,000 from CWU 25 February: £2,000 from Mohammed Imran 4 March: £25,000 from Trevor Chinn 5 March: £10,000 from Intro Developments Ltd 5 March: £25,000 from Martin Taylor 12 March: £2,500 from Simeon Honore That’s a whopping £234,410.79, and – as Penny pointed out – the same as four times the total takings of the government figures she was pointing the finger at (£240,984). Penny had Rayner bang to rights… You're just too dumb to get it aren't you! The issue is about transparency over funding. Rayner has correctly declared her donations, Johnson and his bunch consistently get pulled up for not doing so. And unlike Lord Udny-Lister she didn't forget that she happened to be working for the company she approved a government loan of £187 million.

Perhaps she should have learn't from this twa*t:

Hahahaha! So there are two possibilities here; either she has never received a donation to herself or her local party, or she has failed to register donations like her boss has failed to do on so many occasions. Guess I know which most people will plump for out of those two choices (given her record for treason and deception).

Blimey! Tory Peter Bone gets something right at last:

Yet another corrupt PPE deal: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/hedge-fund-fast-tracked-to-252m-ppe-deal-despite-red-flags-on-finances-high-court-told/ar-BB1gRqYz?ocid=msedgntp A hedge fund with close ties to government was fast-tracked to a £252 million PPE contract as an “URGENT VIP CASE” despite red flags on its finances, the High Court heard on Tuesday. Ayanda Capital was handed deals to supply face masks at the end of April last year, after its bid was marked as “very urgent” and officials were told the supplier was “influential across government”. Some of the masks which were delivered were rendered unusable by the NHS as they did not meet safety standards, the court heard. The Good Law Project and EveryDoctor are challenging the way PPE contracts worth almost £600 million were entered into in the early stages of the pandemic, through the government’s controversial ‘VIP Lane’. They say companies with political connections were given unfair advantage in the scramble for PPE deals, while suppliers without ties to government were left sitting on the sidelines. It is said the government failed to carry out due diligence on the PestFix and Ayanda deals, including investigations into the firms’ finances and the technical specifications of the PPE being offered. In written submissions to the court, lawyers for the Good Law Project set out how Andrew Mills, a representative for Ayanda and former member of the UK Board of Trade, lobbied an official in the PPE procurement team. Mr Mills and Ayanda were put into the ‘VIP Lane’ after telling Martin Kent, director of Global Trade and Investment at the Department for International Trade, their bid was “the sort of deal that really needs Ministerial attention”.

The utter stupidity of john Redwood never ceases to amaze: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/don-t-need-eu-tory-mp-vows-to-boycott-european-holidays-after-trade-deal-chaos/ar-BB1gTutS?ocid=msedgntp Mixing up the regulations required by the disastrous brexit deal (that he supported) with the relaxation of covid regulations concerning european travel, is about as dumb as it gets. Not only that, one sure way of guaranteeing that the EU will continue strict enforcement of the NI protocol is for Redwood to promise he will not visit the EU if they do so.

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/daniel-morgan-murder-priti-patel-s-delay-of-report-into-police-corruption-suspicious-family-believe/ar-BB1gTTT0?ocid=msedgntp Yet again Preeti Patel seeks to protect the corrupt rather than allow an "independent" inquiry publish it's findings.

Indeed! If Newton were still alive he would no doubt point out a new law of inverse proportion: The more Jools supports a view the less likely it is to be true.

Haha! I'm pretty sure he announced "Ima Tw at" was in the audience too.

Posters may recall that before the pandemic kicked off the Telegraph published a leaked email from a top advisor to Cummings and Johnson which argued that the government should give up on supporting the agriculture industry as we could source all the UK's food needs from overseas. It looks like Truss has taken that advice to heart and is determined to drive farmers off the land and flood the market with inferior substandard food from abroad. That would conveniently leave plenty of our countryside open to be destroyed with vast housing estates developed by Tory Party donors.

Newly discovered footage of Johnson and Frost competing in a Tory Party sports day:

Just as well orange is dumbo Don's favourite colour: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/ny-state-probe-of-trump-organization-is-now-criminal-attorney-general-says/ar-BB1gSU4J?ocid=msedgdhp

Try writing that sentence again to make it intelligible. If you believe that sanctimonious pile of crap you demonstrate just how pathetically gullible you and the RWNJs are.

The farmers will be able to make use of the same billboards they used to post their "Vote Leave" posters to advertise their farm sales.

How naive and gullible you are! Clearly pretty much everything is too complicated for you to understand. The idea the French fisherman backed down because they feared being fired upon by UK gunboats is laughable on so many levels. A few minutes spent reading what actually happened would prevent you making a fool of yourself. Empty threats typically have the opposite effect to their intentions. The idea that the UK is in any legal position to threaten to invoke A16 is so stupid it merely strengthens the EU's case. Hence Frost is reduced to bleating pathetically that the deal he freely signed is unfair.

Jesus! You're the one who raised the prospect of the UK invoking A16, NOT me. Perhaps you should do yourself a favour and question why the UK has not invoked it given your absurd view that Johnson and Frost outfoxed the EU in having that option included in the deal. The very obvious fact is that the UK wouldn't have a leg to stand on, hence Frost's pathetic whimpering that the EU is "point scoring" by sticking to the letter of the NI protocol which both sides signed up to.
