The grubby bit is Sharp's appointment by Boris, given the £800K business.

The rest is pure speculation when the obvious route is staring you in the face.

The only thing obvious is that the Prime Minister of this country was a credit risk!

Glad you're coming round to my way of thinking.

They’re not contradictory positions.

If nobody will lend him money commercially - despite an illustrious career in politics, journalism and television - then a middle man and/or guarantor isn’t doing that out the goodness of their hearts.

Absolutely right.

The positioning of integrity and Braverman in the same response I think proves the point being made. The women is a Goebbels wannabe and certified moron. If you think she represents your values, and the country's, then you may need a rethink.

There you go, running with the group think - and well OTT. I'd bet that the Tory Party is heavily loaded with decent people who are horrified by what the government has done in their name.
But you still allow the incompetent incumbents to keep standing come election time. Maybe we have different interpretations of integrity?

You are too blinkered to accord any credit to any Tory minister.

Your sickness is clearly shown in your comment that I've highlighted. You've done precisely what Goebbels did in describing people he didn't like.


I suppose you used the term "Goebbels" because you think that Braverman is victimising poor defenceless people (the ones I call illegal migrants). I and the country at large want these illegal migrants and the associated trafficking stopped. If you don't want this, then it is you that needs a rethink.

All the above said, it was right for Sharp to resign and wrong that he was appointed in the first place.

I don't "allow" anything - all of that is out of my hands and influence. I voted Conservative out of political conviction, not knowing how badly they'd screw up.

I am a Conservative with integrity - challenge (and justify) that if you wish.

Just to be clear, and to correct your deliberate misrepresentation, I am not "describing people [plural] I do not like". Rather, I am describing a person [singular] I do not like.

Comparing Braverman to the 1930 Germany is not my claim, it is the claim of an actual Holocaust survivor who said:

Quote:
“Now, when I hear you using words against refugees like ‘swarms’ and an ‘invasion’, I am reminded of the language used to dehumanise and justify the murder of my family, and millions of others.

“Why do you find the need to use that kind of language.”
Same tactic, different century. We used to be a compassionate nation but this Government, with its hateful gaslighting of the reality of Asylum Seeking in the UK, is turning us into a spiteful, insular shadow of our former selves.

The deliberate action of not providing legal routes to claim asylum from Sudan, Syria, etc. and then labelling people who are forced to travel by sea "illegal" is a sinister play and is designed to manipulate the gullible. The people who you should be worrying about arriving in this country do not arrive on small boats, they arrive on private jets.

Re: BBC Chairman Richard Sharp resigns


Two cartoons:

1. Of Richard Sharp, in the Grauniad (now withdrawn);
2. Of Sharp's kinsmen promoted by the Nazis.

See any similarity? Shocking that journalism in the UK has come to this.
