Maybot’s lack of self belief, alarms Tory members

A bit puzzled as to which of ww's posts you are responding to, Primrose. Can you clarify?

Astounding the BBC totally ignored the 10s of thousands who marched for the NHS this weekend in the bitter cold.

German television had it as their third item

You're right ww. Balaclavas and violence have no place in politics. Luckily those papers didn't incite any violent behaviour - perhaps the demographic of their readership isn't prone to lashing out and throwing punches.
You do need to tailor the message to the audience in politics. A lesson for everyone, I think.

Keir Starmer

First the judges are seen as “enemies of the people” then the civil service is seen as “traitors”

This hard right with fascist tendencies has to be stopped.

The Fail was supportive of this sort of politictics pre£war, it is simply reverting back to type with politicians who will support it.

jura she’s been on a course “how to avoid biased reporting”



Sorry varian but his Weimar type messsages have to called out for what they are. I’ll find another code name for him

Any thoughts about whether she should go over the cliff?

Kuensberg - Künsberg even.

Yes, she has gone up in my estimation recently as she has been asking very hard and direct questions- and repeated, quite strongly, if interviewee deflects and refuses to answer- making it very clear that that is the case ...

I usually agree with your posts, whitewave but please stop mentioning Jacob Rees Mogg. He gets far too much publicity, especially on the BBC, where in the last year he has taken over from the equally repulsive Nigel Farage as the BBC's favourite politician.

Matthew Parris's article.

On Monday Grayling will gift Branson a rail contract for the West Coast.

No tendering has taken place whatsoever.

Mogg has bare faced lied over the claim that the treasury is doctoring the figures put out in the recent impact assessment. He is willing to destroy trust in our civil service just to get what he wants.

Someone just gave me a lovely vision of Maybot.

Weeble Maybot. Wobbly weeble who keeps being knocked down but boings back up again.

This present government has cut the number of staff working in HMRC, so obviously not bothered.

Yes I was reading that a couple of days ago. It seems that there is no body you can trust now.

Dirty money has always been a major issue, but I think really it is out of control.

It would have helped if in the past government’s were willing to put in sufficient resources to allow their civil servants and police to track and stop dirty money, but resources have always been a major issue.
To my mind for whatever reason it didn’t suit governments to do so.

This is going to be very interesting.

McMafia is real.
Do you think there will be a big rush of mansions on the market?
I presume it's British ones as well, those who hide their money in tax havens. She can't just be seen to be going after Russian oligarchs.

I wondered who she was, on Question Time. She needs to stand for parliament.

Suddenly.....so many fans of Laura Kuensburg on here!
Not long ago there were comments to the effect that she was a right wing stooge?
I have always thought that she is even handed when it comes to politicians and treats them all in the same way ie. as if they are vastly inferior to her own great intellect and thinks the public are more interested in her comments than either the PM or Leader Of The Opposition etc.

I wondered what that was, whitewave. I thought it was someone wanting to butt in and being gently guided away.
Another week, and Laura will be so fed up she will turn round and bop him/her one.

At least we got words from the horse's mouth, instead of a No. 10 spokesperson.

Anyone see Mays media advisor prod Kuensburg in the back to wind up the interview?

Watching the Kuensburg interview, the perfectly normal questions one would ask, and Maybots inability to answer anything, I am now beginning to understand how the tiny minority of headbangers are getting such a handle on things. They have learned to go in hard and Maybot caves in.

I bet the Tories didn't expect this, a Tory council running out of money.
I bet they find that moneytree again, but they wouldn't if it was a Labour council.

I agree with that. She was just saying much more than usual, probably because she didn't want to hear the next question.

Laura Kuenssberg said that May was talking "meaningless waffle".
Exactly!

Kuennsberg had to corner her.
That's what I meant. Laura got her to say more than she has done lately.
The Chinese are really pleased that May is joining them on human rights.

Anyone sees the Kuensburg interview with Maybot.

Maybot was as dreadful as she has ever been.

I give her until the May elections
