Peerage for Houchen, Knighthood for Clarke

[Steve Bee]

Local lads recognised and you lot scoff!!!

Where's Rob when you need him.

You're not being serious

I really hope enough people now realise they’ve been had by Johnson and his Brexit cabel. Furthermore, just do a bit of analysis and it’s clear this generation of Tories have systematically made everything worse since 2010.

It’s bemusing to me that people cannot see austerity for what it was. An ideological attack on normal people and all aspects of civic society. All based on flawed research in the pursuit of “growth”.

 

[Smogonsea]

….I’m lost for words.

 

[Chris_Boro]

So this is what they meant by "leveling up"

 

[junos_boots]

Sir Bent Houchen - sold the family silver to Tory mates and Sir Spineless Clarke - the mastermind behind the Truss disaster budget. You think things can’t get any worse and then they do and nobody seems to care - what has happened to make this country so apathetic?

They already have - as you should be calling him Lord Houchen (whenever he gets dressed up happens)

He's being measured for his robes now. I understand Teesworks Ltd has been awarded the contract for lining the pockets.

This is a strange one. As I understand it, you cannot be an MP if you are a Lord although retired or resigned members of the House of Lords can stand or re-stand as MPs.

So what's Houchen's future political plan?

 

[BoroMart]

I effin hate this honours system, fack off you pish taking bashtards. Feck me, so effin angry at this!!

The good people of Teesside have been used and abused to the benefit of elitist shysters once again.

 

[Smogonsea]

So what's Houchen's future political plan?

He doesn’t need one. He can sit in the House of Lords and use his cronyism to get a non executive director job somewhere and keep taking in cash for doing very little. It’s what they all aim for.

Electoral Reform Society - sign this to keep public objection / resentment to the whole incestuous merry go honour themselves & their mates - front & centre, maybe if enough people finally make it known we are aware the system is flawed, we may get enough traction to change it..

Not forgetting that Boris Johnson’s hairdresser was awarded an OBE.

Even among the worst of the crooks this must be one of the least deserved on performance at work alone

OBE = 'Orrible Barnet 'Ead.

 

[theboydom]

I, for one, welcome our newly ennobled overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted local lad, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil on their (soon to be found squeaky clean by Michael Gove) Teesworks site...

Shouldn't it have gone to their guide dog?

worst imho was Charlotte Owen, 29 year old life peer......FFS, what can you possibly have done in such a short time since graduating from Uni in 2015 to even be considered for that in this stinking rotten system

Either service's to the bedroom or another one of his kids

 

[BiggEggo]

Charlotte Owen and BloJob? Ah... OK. I've just answered my own question.
