Suella Braverman was outraged at people coming across in boats costing the taxpayer £6m a year with regards to housing them in hotels... ...so we're going to pay £160m a year for them not to be here at all? What? Sorry to correct you but it's £6 million a day so closer to £2 billion a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2023 The tories would never make or defend comparisons to Nazi Germany. Except when they do. Quote Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Johnson said European history had seen repeated attempts to rediscover the "golden age of peace and prosperity under the Romans". "Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically. The EU is an attempt to do this by different methods," he said. BBC link Quote He said: "If Monsieur Hollande wants to administer punishment beatings to anybody who chooses to escape, rather in the manner of some World War 2 movie, then I don't think that that is the way forward and I don't think it's in the interests of our friends and partners." Johnson again, Sky link Quote A CONSERVATIVE MP has caused a storm of controversy after comparing England’s footballers “taking a knee” in a statement against racism to throwing a Nazi salute.

sidcow Posted March 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Anyone who thinks this has been a coup for The Tories deflecting the focus away is mistaken. Mrs Sidcow had no idea what Braverman had done/said and has gone back to find out and been shocked. She won't be alone.

Davkaus Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 You've got to laugh that in the last 13 years, the most problematic opponents they've faced have been Marcus Rashford and Gary Linekar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I wonder how they will resolve this? There’s plenty of work out there for the presenters to walk about from the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would always have been paid more for work on other channels, he chose the BBC because he believes in it. He's on record as saying that more than once. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, not giving a shit is probably wide of the mark. I still don’t see him caving though. Not like he’s short of money or work options. He’ll happily stand by his principles I assume.
