Yeah, we've had this "beyond satire" debate hereabouts a while back. The only way you could really satirize the cabinet of no talents and the bumbling leadership of Big Dog is to set a sitcom around a Conservative MP who was in politics for all the right reasons and kept on believing in his mission regardless of the actions of those above him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d be less inclined in said sitcom (or irl) to carry on with the ‘Big Dog’ brand. Given his dubious escapes to Ukraine I think he should now be called ‘Chicken Kyiv’. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted June 24, 2022 Dominic Raab flapping admirably and trying to sould resolute in defence of two by-election spankings and the resignation of the party chairman. Bojo's current absence will be lengthy since he's got three foreign events in a row lined up. Though he's - apparently - being interviewed on BBC radio at 8-00am tomorrow. Interesting times, or summat https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-61789404?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=62b553f1a48d0547a34c0f0c%26Panic spreads through Conservatives in wake of defeat%262022-06-24T06%3A05%3A34.811Z&ns_fee=0&pinned_post_locator=urn:asset:82c3bd87-8e9e-4d76-8784-4e6906f1c460&pinned_post_asset_id=62b553f1a48d0547a34c0f0c&pinned_post_type=share 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted July 5, 2022 Another day, another exposure of Bojo lies - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-62047883 Chris Mason, new in the top BBC political job has a gift of a situation, his current opinion... In his most stinging line of all Lord McDonald likened Downing Street statements to "telling the truth and crossing your fingers at the same time and hoping that people are not too forensic in their subsequent questioning". Day by day this means ministers are being sent out with lines to take that disintegrate within hours of them being said out loud - not only humiliating for the ministers concerned but toxic for trust in the leadership of the party, and the country. And bubbling away underneath, increasing exasperation, from the Cabinet down, within the Conservative Party, of the ongoing inability of No 10 to actually focus on the business of government, rather than constantly fire fighting crises about the prime minister's capacity to tell the truth. Senior ministers who until very recently, the last 10 days, had assumed Boris Johnson would lead them into the next general election now aren't so sure. And even those still supportive are worn down by what they see as the persistent own goals from Downing Street, which they regard as hard, even impossible to defend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,391 Posted July 5, 2022 Of course what should happen here is that Johnson will fuck off. What I’m expecting to see tomorrow is Health Secretary Gullis and Chancellor Dorries and a chorus of “he got the big calls right” from the usual pathetic acolytes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
