Re: Boris's Brain is missing
I see that Boris has recently been getting some stick from the Daily Mail.
The answer is to replace the editor by someone closer to Paul Dacre.
It's amazing how much reach the Tory party seems to have.
Of course it could just be a coincidence.

It's an appalling newspaper, but it had run some serious criticism of the current government. I'm expecting less after this change.francovendee wrote: ↑18 Nov 2021, 8:28am I see that Boris has recently been getting some stick from the Daily Mail.

Yes, I'm surprised, did he withdraw or was he pushed. Certainly something behind it, or maybe he realised they couldn't rig it enough in his favour.Jdsk wrote: ↑20 Nov 2021, 12:02amPulled out.

It's a face saver for Dacre and yet another demonstration of idoicy for Johnson and co.PhilD28 wrote: ↑20 Nov 2021, 6:33pmYes, I'm surprised, did he withdraw or was he pushed.

Re: Boris's Brain is missing
This is rather baffling. Buying or selling honours is a crime which the police have, in the past, been willing to investigate. In March 2006, Scottish National Party MP Angus McNeil brought a complaint to the police after it emerged that four wealthy businessmen, who had lent the Labour Party a total of £5 million, were nominated by Tony Blair for peerages. The police questioned a raft of politicians over the scandal and made several arrests.
We think it looks suspiciously like the Conservatives are selling off seats in the heart of our democracy. Members of the House of Lords get a say on laws that affect all of our lives. Why should someone get a vote on Universal Credit because they handed 3 million quid to the Conservative Party?

Grant Shapps said the government was considering building a bridge or tunnel between Scotland and the island of Ireland.
“One of the elements in that review is should we have some sort of fixed connection – that could be a tunnel, it could be a bridge – between, for example, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which is the closest crossing,” he told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday.
...
But some have claimed the prime minister is simply seeking a distraction and noted that his talk of bridging the Irish Sea follows similarly grandiose and ultimately undeliverable schemes he dreamed up while mayor of London. And experts have warned that the depth of the Irish Sea and the presence of dumped munitions would cause problems.

Is scrapped different from abandoned?
And plans rather overstates how far this ever got.
