RJRB 677 #2286 Posted August 4, 2021 It’s just the sweeping and totally wrong generalisation that all Tories and Brexiteers are gentlemen and gentlewomen,unlike the opposition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mister M 1,575 #2287 Posted August 4, 2021 6 hours ago, RJRB said: It’s just the sweeping and totally wrong generalisation that all Tories and Brexiteers are gentlemen and gentlewomen,unlike the opposition. It's been disclosed today that the hereditary peer, Lord Bethell replaced his mobile phone before it could be searched for information relevant to £85m of Covid deals that are subject to a legal challenge. Bethell said the mobile phone had broken, after deals were done, and after he was told his mobile phone would be searched for documents relating to this case. Lord Bethell is already under investigation by the Information Commissioner’s Office over the use of private emails for government business, prompted by revelations that his former boss Matt Hancock was using a private account at the height of the pandemic. Bethell has previously faced calls for his resignation after the Guardian revealed that a number of emails had been copied into his private email account. His address was copied into at least four official exchanges relating to a businessman who was attempting to get government contracts during the pandemic. Lord Bethell in hot water after phone containing documents relating to Covid contracts mysteriously 'broken' (thelondoneconomic.com) Bethell has told the Lords “In terms of the use of private email can I just reassure members that I have read the ministerial code, I have signed the ministerial code and I seek to uphold it in everything I do.” Just like his 'honourable friend', Boris Johnson.

In fairness I could have used a better phrase but I was slightly dumbstruck on how Johnson is trying to convince people the wholesale destruction of entire communities was a good thing.

Praising Thatcher in Scotland is so going to boost his popularity and help reinforce the union north of the border. He's an absolute gift to Nicola Sturgeon.
