Sadness in his eyes
Interesting choice of words from popbitch
Iām presuming Gove (a Cummings buddy, yeah?) is being busted as retaliation for Hancockās downfall. Rather than a somewhat far-fetched play on the union wording thing.
Presumably the dogging of Westminster too.
I suspect this has been on the cards a little while and theyāre getting it out during the Hancock thing to take the spotlight off.
The reasons for the split have been an open secret in westminster/Fleet St for about a year now - not helped by Gove being very indiscrete.
It seems like the Telegraph have decided to try and flush out the story and itās become the latest front in the battle between the Times and the Telegraph to position their favoured cabinet member as the heir-apparent to Johnson. (Gove is the Timesā man).
Still get annoyed that MPās marriages / private lives are front page news. Personal relationships are not always straightforward, and people do foolish things when in love/lust. Yes, a person who deceives someone is an arsehole and not someone youād like to have in a position of power. Yes, there can be issues of kompromat. And I donāt particularly care that Gove and Vine have to put up with some shit, Iāll save my tears for someone else.
But of all the things to bring someone down for, the fact that in the 21st century weāre still doing it by publicising the end of a relationship is both damning and sad. Damning that the levers of power can be pulled by sniggering innuendo and puritanical finger wagging, sad that we the public lap it up.
I agree with you but in Sarah Vineās case I can take a grim satisfaction from it since sheās made a handsome living from harassing and demonising other people in this exact situation (in one case, someone I know, so Iām taking personal schadenfreude from it). Would love if she found the whole experience so miserable it convinced her to change her whole shtick but I wonāt hold my breath.
Thereās certainly a pleasingly poetic justice aspect in Vineās case
Policing bill passed its third reading tonight, unsurprising but still
How it started:
How itās going:
Clearly believes in made up things so this is unsurprising
I fucking despair
If this is how discrimination law works, then the law is flawed
I have concluded that forcibly dragging this government out into the street by their ears, and then entirely destroying the palace of Westminster has an objective and reasonable justification, notwithstanding its greater impact on Tories.
The measure pursues a legitimate aim - to protect the public from fascist charlatans and thus contributing to reducing hate, despair and suffering.
It is inevitable that if this aim is to be achieved, there would be a disproportionate effect on Tories - since Tories are disproportionately represented among government.
I have decided that the disproportionate impact of dragging this government out into the street by their ears, and then entirely destroying the palace of Westminster is outweighed by the importance of achieving this aim.
There is no basis on which a member of the public could properly take a different view.
Heavy handed satire, etc. But fuck it. If laws arenāt actually laws when itās an inconvenience to Tories, whatās the point in entering into proper debate? These people need to be held up as what they are: total fucking scum. If they offer no decency or fairness they can expect none in return.
