Shittest episode of Homes Under the Hammer I’ve ever seen….. Scrotes, scumbags and savages. Could be a good legal firm name that. Poor language choice by the absolute fraud of a man.

I see Johnny G has come out swinging, has the man of the city 2022 ever said where exactly £30 fucking million quid got spent on improving a bus service that stops after 7.00pm.

We’ve managed to spend 30 million on a bus service that operates half the amount of routes it used to. Maybe johnnny boy has spent it more wisely, a software update at Hanley bus station, or the current crop of privately owned busses have had Pullman carriage standard refit. Not been on a bus for years so I could be missing something, do they have a buffet section now ?

Ah that well known 'leftist' institution the BBC, is there anybody left that actually thinks this? It's surely beyond parody now. "There are also concerns about the appointment of BBC director general Tim Davie, who stood as a councillor for the Conservative Party in 1993 and 1994 and was deputy chairman of the Hammersmith and Fulham Conservative Party in the 1990s." "There are further concerns over the recent appointment of ex-GB News editorial director John McAndrew to the role of Director of BBC News programmes."

Blimey Max Hastings was always in the Centre, who knew. I guess his Editorship of The Telegraph and Evening Standard are proof of that.When he chides the Right Wing controlling the Conservative Party as being too extreme and should be banished its quite something. Like a stopped clock however there are a few occasions in the day when they are correct. Historian Hastings is correct in his writings to pinpoint a now largely irrelevant Britain's hankering to relive the WW 11 era as a source for the madness which most of the rest of the World look on in dismay and pity and yes laughter

I don't think anyone would ever think of the Telegraph as having occupied the centre ground. I suspect what Hastings is really saying is that under his editorship it was more aligned with a less right-wing Conservative Party than we have now. That seems to be the gist of it, not least given his conversation with the "very, very, senior Conservative politician of years gone by" (David Cameron, perhaps?). If anything, this simply underlines what many of us have been saying on here for some time now, that the Conservatives have lurched to the right and it's this that is causing so many of the problems for the UK as a whole: Brexit, under-investment in public services, a crazy adherence to ultra free-market dogma, a generally unpleasant tone around immigrants, foreigners and the poor, the list goes on. What Hastings comments also show, which, again, you hear claimed often enough on here, is that they are clearly not "all the same", even within the same Party, let alone across the political spectrum. Nor has this government been remotely "left-wing" as some on here like to claim!

Nor has this government been remotely "left-wing" as some on here like to claim! Oh do allow me a degree of whimsy Depending on where you place Tony Blair on the Political scale old Max voted for him in the 1997 and 2001 GEs while Editor of the Torygraph Anyone who fired Boris and can't decide whether he is a scoundrel or merely a rouge can't be all bad. We must also give Max top marks for his brutal but precient Article he wrote on Johnson in June 2019 when he had been elected Leader of the Conservative Party Tory MPs have launched this country upon an experiment in celebrity government, matching that taking place in Ukraine and the US, and it is unlikely to be derailed by the latest headlines. The Washington Post columnist George Will observes that Donald Trump does what his political base wants “by breaking all the china”. We can’t predict what a Johnson government will do, because its prospective leader has not got around to thinking about this. But his premiership will almost certainly reveal a contempt for rules, precedent, order and stability.
A few admirers assert that, in office, Johnson will reveal an accession of wisdom and responsibility that have hitherto eluded him, not least as foreign secretary. This seems unlikely, as the weekend’s stories emphasised. Dignity still matters in public office, and Johnson will never have it. Yet his graver vice is cowardice, reflected in a willingness to tell any audience, whatever he thinks most likely to please, heedless of the inevitability of its contradiction an hour later.
Like many showy personalities, he is of weak character. I recently suggested to a radio audience that he supposes himself to be Winston Churchill, while in reality being closer to Alan Partridge. Churchill, for all his wit, was a profoundly serious human being. Far from perceiving anything glorious about standing alone in 1940, he knew that all difficult issues must be addressed with allies and partners.
Johnson would not recognise truth, whether about his private or political life, if confronted by it in an identity parade. In a commonplace book the other day, I came across an observation made in 1750 by a contemporary savant, Bishop Berkeley: “It is impossible that a man who is false to his friends and neighbours should be true to the public.” Almost the only people who think Johnson a nice guy are those who do not know him.
There is, of course, a symmetry between himself and Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn is far more honest, but harbours his own extravagant delusions. He may yet prove to be the only possible Labour leader whom Johnson can defeat in a general election. If the opposition was led by anybody else, the Tories would be deservedly doomed, because we would all vote for it. As it is, the Johnson premiership could survive for three or four years, shambling from one embarrassment and debacle to another, of which Brexit may prove the least.
For many of us, his elevation will signal Britain’s abandonment of any claim to be a serious country. It can be claimed that few people realised what a poor prime minister Theresa May would prove until they saw her in Downing Street. With Boris, however, what you see now is almost assuredly what we shall get from him as ruler of Britain.
We can scarcely strip the emperor’s clothes from a man who has built a career, or at least a lurid love life, out of strutting without them. The weekend stories of his domestic affairs are only an aperitif for his future as Britain’s leader. I have a hunch that Johnson will come to regret securing the prize for which he has struggled so long, because the experience of the premiership will lay bare his absolute unfitness for it.
If the Johnson family had stuck to showbusiness like the Osmonds, Marx Brothers or von Trapp family, the world would be a better place. Yet the Tories, in their terror, have elevated a cavorting charlatan to the steps of Downing Street, and they should expect to pay a full forfeit when voters get the message. If the price of Johnson proves to be Corbyn, blame will rest with the Conservative party, which is about to foist a tasteless joke upon the British people – who will not find it funny for long.
