No, I'd be too busy crapping myself I'd be caught out, sacked, taken to court, and finally imprisoned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By my powers of deduction, you lack a proper education where such trivial worries are thrashed out of you leaving only narcissism and a love of matrons special punishments and rewards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted June 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2023 Worth reading the thread about the account holder’s perception of Johnson from knowing him from afar at Cambridge and more broadly people of that character. Nothing you haven’t heard a thousand times before, but summed up nicely with this brief excerpt from The Wind in the Willows. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloman Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Early last year , I commented on a banner hung over the Holte End proclaiming "Reg Evans RIP". Reg was a life long Villa supporter and also a life long Socialist who detested the Tories. He told me a story involving Boris being employed by Wolverhampton paper, the Express and Star, which he referred to as the Express and Stasi ! The story was that Johnson was sacked from there for either incompetence or plagiarising , or some such behaviour. Anyone know if that story has any substance ?

It's confusing a couple of true stories. Johnson worked for the Express and Star for a few months when he was starting out as a journalist, sent to get experience after getting a job at the Times thanks to his connections. He later got sacked by the Times for making up a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2023 Anyone remember Woking going bankrupt last week? Thought not. Well the Boris circus is burying another story about Tory Councils in the land of milk and honey. Quote A council lost "substantial sums of public money" because of systemic weaknesses and a "dereliction" in leadership, a government-commissioned report has found. Thurrock Council in Essex has debts of about £1.3bn after a series of failed investments largely in solar farms. The report said the council finance director had "unlimited authority to invest in anything he felt fit". The council's Conservative leader said he was "deeply sorry" for the failings. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities intervened at the council in September and asked Essex County Council - a neighbouring local authority - to write a Best Value Inspection (BVI) report to investigate the failures and produce recommendations. Tony McArdle OBE, the lead author of the long-awaited report, said: "Although serious mistakes have been made by individuals, the challenges facing the council stem from a series of self-sustaining, systemic weaknesses which have allowed for repeated failure."

Well the Boris circus is burying another story about Tory Councils in the land of milk and honey. BBC My first thought was why local councils are making investments? Surely they should be focussed on public services and other bodies should be responsible for investments. Given the ridiculous amount of money involved here I can’t believe it’s simply backing a bad horse. I would not be surprised to hear about connections between public fund account holders and the private businesses getting tonnes of public money.
