Oh what joy, Boris Johnson tries to wriggle out of his partying whilst the country was in lockdown and tens of thousands were dying, by questioning the appointment of Sue Gray as head of the inquiry...
..only for damning WhatsApp messaged to be released, proving, yet again, what a lying little toe rag he is.
I LOVE this forum.
Latest golden nugget comes from hardup ...
"You've got to hand it to Cameron & liar Johnson they've really fu**ed the UK"
Why blame them? It was a majority of the UK electorate that voted for the UK to leave the EU.
Just how BLIND to the world of UK politics of the last 12 years must you have to be to write that FFS!?!?!
You've made my Friday.

'Iggy Pop' (i'm certain the real Iggy would choke on his food if he read this guys posts) ..
I'd love to know what the 'other reasons' to leave the EU were?
Perhaps you can list the Brexit benefits we are all feeling today? Nobody else here has been able to!

Bumble 1968, it takes mere seconds of my very fulfilled life to post on here.
I posted very little on the BP board in actual fact. I do however recall the locals there getting themselves in a tizzy when i mentioned the fact i'm invested there is because of the key patents BP own concerning hydrogen fuel and that a billionaire investor first drew my attention to that fact. Also, the likes of you on the BP board have a strong dislike for their supposed green policies.
A lot of ignorant dinosaurs on that board too it would seem.
Buzz off.
Same old empty shelves and spiralling costs.
Tiresome indeed.
You'd have thought some 'expert' may have predicted all the dire consequences we are only just beginning to feel because of Brexit.
Oh, they did didn't they but the walking used Durex Gove told you to ignore the experts.
So ignore them, you do.
For goodness sake..
let us ONCE AGAIN ignore the experts in the field, in this case the Deputy President of the Farmers Union and pretend BREXIT plays no part, even though he tells us it certainly does play a significant part.
Dear oh dear OH DEAR.
Close eyes, cover ears nowt to do with BREXIT here (honest!).
'Shortages of some fresh fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers could be the “tip of the iceberg”, the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) has said.
Certain products are hard to come by in UK supermarkets due to poor weather reducing the harvest in Europe and north Africa, BREXIT rules and lower supplies from UK and Dutch producers hit by the jump in energy bills to heat glasshouses.
The NFU’s deputy president, Tom Bradshaw, said a reliance on imports had left the UK particularly exposed to “shock weather events”.
He said the UK had now “hit a tipping point” and needed to “take command of the food we produce” amid “volatility around the world” caused by the war in Europe and the climate crisis.
“We’ve been warning about this moment for the past year,” Bradshaw told Times Radio on Saturday. “The tragic events in Ukraine have driven inflation, particularly energy inflation, to levels that we haven’t seen before.
“There’s a lack of confidence from the growers that they’re going to get the returns that justify planting their glasshouses, and at the moment we’ve got a lot of glasshouses that would be growing the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergine that are sitting there empty because they simply couldn’t take the risk to plant them with the crops, not thinking they’d get the returns from the marketplace.
“And with them being completely reliant on imports – we’d always have some imports – but we’ve been completely reliant on imports [now]. And when there’s been some shock weather events in Morocco and Spain, it’s meant that we’ve had these shortages.”
Bradshaw also acknowledged that the current shortage was an indirect result of the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
He added: “IT'S REALLY INTERESTING THAT BEFORE BREXIT WE DIDN'T USED TO SORT ANYTHING,OR VERY LITTLE,FROM MOROCCO BUT WE'V BEEN FORCED TO GO FURTHER AFIELD and now these climatic shocks becoming more prevalent have had a real impact on the food available on our shelves today.”
Who voted for this ****?
