I may have dined out on this one before: my cousin was Captain Bob’s orthodontist, and he wasn’t even dry before the grieving widow requested his dental records, my cousin also had visits from “men in suits”

Goodness me, Captain Bob hanging out on Epstein Island with Richard Roper (Villain in the Night Manager, currently on BBC1 on Sunday night).

So instead of backing it through gritted teeth like Kemi has*, he goes into hiding.

*Then again didn’t she dismiss it a week or so ago suggesting it was a 2nd grade issue or something.

Lots of Bluesky nowadays are idiots. When it got going, it was experts telling you stuff. It's now basically Guardian BTL.

Yeah, it's often a bit Owen Jonesy.

Nigel Farage has apologised for 17 breaches of the MPs’ code of conduct after failing to declare £380,000 of income on time, saying he is an “oddball” who does not do computers.

MI5 really need to be looking at this cunt.

Remember guys, Lord Ali, a Labour peer whose advice Starmer clearly rates, had a Number 10 pass, to save him being signed in and out every time.

Surprised he didn't use the Harry Redknapp excuse about his dog.

Doesn't do computers? He's never bloody off them.

Sorry, but this "Ooh, me? Complete fucking imbecile that I am, you'd have to be pretty stupid to trust me!" bollocks really pisses me off. We saw it with Gove defending Cummings over Barnard Castle. We saw it with Johnson over missing phones and deleted messages. It's so fucking transparently bullshit, and it's laughing right in voters' faces.

I know its a conspiracy theory but I am pretty sure the reason Coutts looked to shut his bank account was Russian related.

And they continue to fall for it - lap it up, even.

The naughty schoolboy spirit runs strong in British journalism.

Must be a public/grammar school thing.

* Soggy Biscuits.
* Bumsex.
* Contempt for anything "technical".

That latter one especially.

Didn't this gobshite* used to work in finance?

Even back in the 80's I'm pretty sure you needed some basic level of IT skills to work in that industry.



* Farage, not you Boiler!

But Farage comes from business so knows how to run things.

I sincerely apologise to the forum for mistakenly lower-casing a keyword, and omitting the mandatory exclamation mark in my earlier post.

I assure the forum that I regard BUMSEX! as a serious matter.
Not the sort of thing to snigger about behind the bicycle sheds.

Go and stand in the corner.
