The great Johnson whitewash

I really don’t think the public give two hoots about corruption and fiddling the sytem in politics, I think they merely expect it now. It soon becomes yesterdays chip paper, our media has no interest in holding politicians to account. I think the only media employee that tried to hold them to account was Piers Morgan, and he was sacked for being honest (I know). There is enough fiddling from Joe Public claiming money they weren’t entitled to too during the pandemic. Applications were quickly paid and barely checked. Govt did not want hold ups. Millions of pounds of grants have allegedly been fraudulently claimed and paid out to businesses with addresses that were lock-ups and garages etc, but the treasury isn’t too keen on that being discussed.

I am sorry to say this country is occupied by fools, run by liars who are propped up by criminals. The Police have no powers to intervene and if they could would far sooner prosecute a speeding motorist anyway. The powerful are held to account by nobody as they own the majority of the media outlets, we really are a basket case of a country at the moment, directionless, reactionary, with no plans, no ideas, no virtues or morals.

Not seen them on 48 but seen a couple around 43/44.

The local elections which they ‘smashed’ a couple of weeks back gave them 36%, apart from 10 out of 12 of the mayor elections but I suppose they don’t matter...

So I wouldn’t believe all you read in some of these polls, everything is heavily controlled by the government just now.

The only people that deserve this Tory party are those that voted for it and that includes the charlatans that pretend through dishonest and misguided mitigation that they were voting for a local tory MP but not Johnson. Those people have propagated the mess we are in; foolish, aspirational, self indulgant halfwits who now vainly attempt to distance themselves from the corruption in which they are complicit. The rest of us deserve much much better

I disagree - no one deserves this lot. Compassion for the conned, contempt for the con artists

I don't think it's even that complicated col.
I honestly think there are a minority who follow the news. There's a bigger number for whom the news is via a media bubble that only confirms their own views and then there is the majority who don't follow the news at all. It's this last group that worries me because they won't be aware of the corruption and neglect we are appalled by.

It was joke to say Boris killing a baby would result in their polling going up
