the passive aggressive dicks up thread who call me out on the regular

Is my comment is included in this? I can't recall having ever called you out.

just lolled

I think he means me. I've made probably two comments (including this one) basically gently alluding to the fact that I find his regular allusions of inside information and numerous contacts worldwide quite entertaining.

I did call him out on a rather poor-taste NHS comment, and subsequently apologised for not knowing all of the context....

Announce new floating pontoon walkway to connect IoW to Guernsey?

Where do I add my backing for this?

TBH, It wasn't even really aimed at you. I express myself poorly on here a lot and forget that loads of you don't know me IRL. I'm having a bad day for lots of reasons and was being oversensitive.

It'll be in my manifesto, I'm considering going head to head against Count Binface.

Read it as delivered with affection. Not too much, just the appropriate amount for someone in the internet you've never met IRL. Hope your week improves.

Hope your week improves.

Thanks mate. x

These fines are for the 'cake ambush' Birthday Party which Sunak attended by mistake. So seems extremely likely that Johnson will get another fine for at least one of the other parties. It's not going away any time soon.

I wonder if the Met found evidence of the party he allegedly held in his flat in No 11 on the day Cummings quit?

They haven't got to the Abba party yet. 6 more that Johnson allegedly turned up at. Presumably with fines ratcheting up each time.

doesn't the homeowner get a £10k fine. not the paltry amount quoted
weren't the parties in no.10 garden ?

for each party ?
it could bankrupt him

My MP stopped replying to my emails after I asked her whether she had attended any lockdown parties.

However in the last one I got she said this "My view is really clear on this: If anyone broke Covid rules in Downing Street last December then they should face the consequences. The rules applied to everyone "

Hoping to coax a reply out of her today about what she thinks those consequences should be but I don't hold out much hope....

My MP is rees fucking mogg, I gave up writing to him after the Cummings affair

I was kind of relieved when she stopped replying as waiting for a response kind of spoils my life however we are in a marginal constituency so it's important to keep up the pressure....

Conservative footsoldiers turned up at the house on Sat ahead of the local elections. Sadly I was in the middle of something as otherwise I would have quite happily spent 20 minutes running through the litany of reasons why they would not be able to count on my vote.

Brave move to take on the Count and the vested interests that support Jersey.

Used to be my ploy:
Detain them for as long as possbile by bringing up issues where I might plausibly seem ambivalent.
After a dozen or so the penny would drop,
and they would twig I was in all probability not a floating voter.

Just noticed that the last 3 emails I sent to her I didn't get an automatic 'we've received your email' response so just tried from an alternative email and got one. Does that mean she's blocked my normal email? Wow, all I did was point out a spelling mistake!

Were you writing about that old king who tried to hold the waves back?

The fucker reading a prepared statement off a bit of paper, hope he gets more fines and can't hide behind it was a cake ambush

Ha, and the next part of the sentence STRAIGHT to overheard at the golf club thread

No I was actually quite polite, posing as disgruntled floater to ramp up the pressure given that they only won here by a few 100 last time. Even in that guise I felt obliged to point out how crap the replies were, one didn't even make sense...
