EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I've been talking to @peterkyle and other MPs and they think they have the numbers for a People's Vote. Tories, who onced opposed it like Oliver Letwin, have been converted by Dominic Cummings' brilliant strategy of expelling them. (Classic Dom)

this arcuri story is very not good for boris... expecting it to grow and grow

"thats what he said"

Hult Business School deleted the 2012 Innotech/Boris/Milo keynote speakers story from their blog; yay Google cache

It should be noted that Boris Johnson can earn six figure sums for
public speaking - each time he spoke at Arcuri events he did for free.

Any self-respecting blackmailer would know full well that a pole-dancing tory groupie would be like heroin for Boris.

I’ve been to an event where Arcuri presented I believe. Certainly the presenter was from Hacker House and was both blond and American.

Parliament TV is quite funny right now. Johnson is absolutely hanging and the opposition has no intention of letting him go to bed.

Fuck me the Jo Cox stuff. He's insane.

Missed but that but yeah, awful. The change in tone is staggering and appalling. Oh for the days of Maybot.

He's scarpered now...

Fucking hell that was a dreadful display. Zero morality.

Absolutely disgusting. Brendan Cox said it made him feel a little bit sick and that's absolutely how I felt when I heard. To say my expectations of Boris Johnson were low before would be an understatement, but I'm genuinely shocked that he called Paula Sheriff's comments humbug and said the best way to honour Jo's death is Brexit.

A good friend of mine was very good friends with Jo and my feelings have changed from immense dislike to genuine hatred now. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Johnson (or ‘BoJo’, or ‘Boris’, if you’re a quarterwit) is fucking dangerous, and is now pretty openly soliciting murder of his opponents.

Hatred not being an appropriate emotion under the circumstances of course, but I need to process that I think.

Agreed, couldn't believe he said it, has no shame

he knows exactly what he's doing - whether it will work or not remains to be seen. we've seen how shamelessness and 'plaster-stripping' energised trump's base in the US. unfortunately for johnson, there is one set of pearl clutchers who this type of behaviour will definitely alienate: so-called moderate (i.e. socially liberal, economically-right leaning) 'cameroonian' voters in the home counties. he better hope dominic cummings is very good at counting

It also show how inaccessible the HoC is for disabled people.

Anyone taking bets that Brexit will happen before we get to page 1000 of this thread?

No, but if you are then I'm happy to abuse the forum's ignore function and take your money.

Too funny. 10000 may be a better bet though.

Good thread documenting the utter fakeness of Arcuri's business history.

Is that...legal over here?

There are NO political parties or anything getting near my sons school (primary) or any political broadcasts inside.

But I've no idea if that is a legal requirement and explicitly forbidden or a "we just don't do it thing"

I don't know what the source is but I don't think it is a political party but some kind of child friendly news service, like First News (https://www.firstnews.co.uk). Just like any other media it will have it's own spin on things.

They are apparently 'Anomaly schools' screens but they seem to have broken their website: https://www.anomalygroup.co.uk

Schools books are checked so that they are not too biased (ok that can go wrong as well, but there is a process) those services are perhaps not checked because there is no requirement?

In that case, yet another gap in the rules maybe?
