Van wink 2,994 Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Delighted to see the back of him, or the front in this case. Probably got his toys in the box and his driving goggles. Edited November 13, 2020 by Van wink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,489 Posted November 13, 2020 I love seeing photos of politicos on the way out. Something strangely historic or is it pathos? Still....I have (sadly) saved some from recent years because of the photographer's skill. They will make a great study for painting (though will need permission of course). Today's here from the Guardian and second one from Patel's sacking in the days of the May administration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a TV programme coming soon on the Reagan's. Did you see the article about it? Apparently RR was not the kind of bloke you may have been given to believe, such was his careful attempts to choreograph public appearances. And yes, Nancy took a prominent role in it. Should make for an interesting bio anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,199 Posted November 13, 2020 Too young to really remember what Reagan was like. He was originally an actor tho so could have easily been completely different in private. As for Cummings. Its probably because I saw seven again recently but all I want to know is. What's in the box Dom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's face it, he's handed out quite a few humungous government contracts to friends and and family, surely it's time for them now to return the favour?

kick it off 1,948 Posted November 14, 2020 Not big on conspiracy theories but I don't buy this at all. The whole exit was totally staged. He walks out of Downing Street, with his security pass still around his neck, with a solitary cardboard box like he's in a bad Hugh Grant movie, and wanders round Whitehall aimlessly? Something isn't right with this picture. I don't know what's up with it, but something is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today's here from the Guardian and second one from Patel's sacking in the days of the May administration. This has to be the most famous one? Here’s hoping we get to see a repeat of the Patel photo soon, followed by Johnson. Edited November 15, 2020 by Nuff Said 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something isn't right with this picture. I don't know what's up with it, but something is. It certainly was staged - by Cummings himself. There are many exits from Downing Street where the press are very unlikely to be. For my money Cummings knows that the Brexit sh*tshow is really about to hit the fan and he wants people to think that as he clearly wasn't there when it went through that he's not to blame.

The Raptor 1,199 Posted November 15, 2020 'Mr Cummings and director of communications Lee Cain, who resigned on Thursday, will work out their notices at home following tensions within No 10.' If they can work from home now why weren't they in the first place?! ****ing idiots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted November 15, 2020 Brought up in one but now in an end terrace in Cornwall. One you probably couldn't afford. Nothing wrong with owning two or more homes as long as you are not renting it out to benefit claimants and having the state pay half your mortgage. Its not what the Welfare State is there for. Not for people to make profit out of it. You know what I mean🤑 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
