what's so very damaging is the way the whole situation has played out.
The first monumental fuck up was Johnson briefing againstCummings when he left. The whole tory party and anyone who knows anything about politics nearly feinted - Cummings was in the centre of all the shit and knew where all the bodies were buried. Pissing him off was one of the most dumb-ass things anyone could do.
We're now seeing that kind of mentality to its logical conclusion

instead of facing an irrefutable fact head-on they lie. They lie and attack and rely on the press saying "well it's this or Jeremy Corbyn so what'cha gonna do? Which worked great .... until Kier Starmer.
The current tory front bench was forged in the fire of Brexit when project leave lied.Tjeu lied and attacked and if the press was talking about their lies project leave was were winning because the talks was not about the opposing point of view. You can also give the public the choice about which lie they believe and which lie they choose to decide is a lie.
That's who they are. That's how they work. It's a great campaign strategy, it's very effective, but it has its limitations.

and especially against Johnson but it'll reflect on the tories because he's their leader and they've been in power for 12 years. Cummings will leak some more shit. No.10 will deny it, then it'll be proven and no.10 will say it doesn't matter. It will be the news for weeks. It would not used to have happened because previous administrations when faced with an undeniable fuckup would own it, apologise for it and hope the public would move on. Which, often, it would.

all this "Boris Johnson acted like a rule-breaking cunt" bollocks. That's who he was sold to us as, the tories hate him, they've always known he's a narcissistic cunt who will throw anyone under a bus to save his skin - fucking hell they fired him for lying to the party leader. They voted him in because he's charming and a good laugh and appeals to people like a posh game show host. They knew that in a crisis he'd be as much use as a compostable condom but they wanted to win an election. We knew this yet the British public voted for him and now there's widespread handbag clutching when the cunt we voted for behaved like a cunt.
Fucking get over yourselves. The fact that this government has taken away our right to protest? The fact it can overrule the judiciary? That they can take away a UK citizens citizenship without course to redress or even have to explain why? This shit doesn't matter I guess but the fact some twats had a few drinks does. Fuck you, The UK. Fuck you all. You have your priorities to fucked up you/we deserve this cunt.
