True, he did say that Gillian Duffy was some  'bigoted woman who used to be Labour years ago'.  Though to be fair Boris Johnson outstripped Gordon Brown by several notches in the haughtiness stakes, taking it to the level of blind class hate. Though I'm sure you don't want to know about that, given Gordon Brown was Prime Minister over 10 years ago, and Boris Johnson is the current occupant of that position.

I thought this was a forum for debate, where instead of debating Boris Johnson's contempt for the electorate we get to see Labour supporters display contempt for anyone who dares to ask them a question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mister M Â Â 1,625 #332 Posted October 1, 2020 Why the faux sensitivity? I wasn't showing any contempt for you in answering the question the way that I did. I merely surmised on the tenor of your previous posts that you have more antipathy toward the Labour Party than the Conservatives.

iansheff   88 #333 Posted October 14, 2020 Well he was certainly born lucky, now he has escaped paying backdated council tax on a property built 18 years ago without planning permission. No mention about retrospective planning permission, I read the other week about someone who had to demolish a house because they didn't have planning permission. So he has got away with having a house without planning permission and without paying Council Tax for 18 years which must have lost the local council thousands of pounds. I bet if Joe Bloggs had a second home without planning permission and not paid CT for 18 years they would be after him.  https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/dominic-cummings-allowed-to-avoid-backdated-council-tax-on-second-home/ar-BB1a0TwD?ocid=msedgntp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There will be no hell to pay. He will not pay it, a government spokesman (dom) will say it is a matter for the council and Cummings has done nothing wrong. He will not pay £30k, he will not lose his job. Other people will be jailed for not paying their council tax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
