In fairness it depends on the abuse and how incessant it's been, but that's not actually a great report with how it bounces around.

Boris Johnson's comments about women wearing the burka have given an impression that the Tories are "insensitive to Muslim communities", an independent review has said.

6 weeks. Is that it? And that is meant to put others off from doing it!? Ok then.

Bit bizarre isn't it.

ITV keep bringing him on their morning show because I guess it winds us up, and keeps the ratings high. He knows what to do to make a career for himself.

He's the ultimate charlatan, he is what Christopher Hitchens would call a 'huckster'.

He's the other side of the twats we all hate in the BLM thread. Say some outrageous shit to wind up the 'enemy' and gain support among your own base.

Indeed, having a load of rational middle ground boring wankers doesn’t make for entertaining viewing

UK PM Johnson considered being injected with coronavirus, Cummings says
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson would have been willing to inject himself with the novel coronavirus as he was so sceptical COVID-19 was a threat, his former top aide Dominic Cummings told parliament on Wednesday.

The Cummings hearing was quite interesting. Forgot it was today so didn't catch it all.
Whatever you think of the bloke personally and his eyesight, plenty of namechecks that have the freedom to say he was wrong, plenty of details that can now be corrected, he corrected the panel when they tried to wrongly paraphrase him...
What I saw looked very credible even allowing for the fact that his memory was obviously selective and he has an axe to grind.

Not sure who else would want the job.

Plenty, always do... I bet a good few would rather it 'after' the pandemic though, let Hancock/Johnson make the mess, they come in, in better times!

Cummings the virtue of truth,
That's exactly it. He showed blatant disregard for the people of Britain around the Barnard Castle incident. Is he now racked with guilt and determined to live a life of truth and honesty?
The other thing is that Bojo, despite being a corrupt, incompetent twat, won the last by election. He got Brexit done and the British public don't seem to give a shit about his buffoonery.
