But rather like one of those hotel toasters, he keeps going round again and again.
All getting darker each time he does.
It's bad, but here we're mostly looking at Johnson being a dickhead, remove him (and his hangers on) and we potentially remove much of the problem. The 'enemies of the people' type stuff we saw after the Brexit vote was worse, I think.
So, I'd say the last five years are much of a muchness, but worse than - say - ten years ago.

POLL REPORTED BY SUNDAY TIMES SHOWING RISHI WINNING IN RED WALL SEATS ACTUALLY HAD BORIS WELL AHEAD
Given the Sunday Times article reported the poll as showing Rishi Sunak supposedly had the best chance of reaching voters in the Red Wall seats that flipped to the Tories in 2019, it is striking that the actual data shows Rishi well behind in the Red Wall seats and nationally as the first choice for voters.
The tech billionaire, who has been on the board of the company formerly known as Facebook since 2005, is backing numerous politicians in the midterm elections.

So close Team PB!

We are now in a world where the public will automatically side against the government on most things, even if they’re not that aware of the issue. This is what happens when a leader is viewed overwhelmingly negatively and their brand with the public is spent.
I think that is spot-on, by the guy who used to run polling for No 10 under Theresa May.
In other words, the respondents to the poll questions aren't really answering them as such, they are answering a different question: are you fed up with Boris?
They are the only voters he cares about now
"The PM has refused to apologise. He said, quite rightly, that the scenes were unacceptable. But I think we have to play back the language used in the House last Monday, when the PM came to apologise, and used a vile slur against Starmer.

- Cases down. R below 1
- Admissions down, R below 1
- MV beds down
- In Hospital down
- Deaths down - looks like we have quite bit of fill in coming, though so don't take the overall day of chart as showing a collapse.
Always choose from the laptops that offer Windows Pro as an option, they’re generally the business range, a little more expensive but more stable in configuration for central management and with 3-year hardware warranty. I usually go for Dell XPS range, or Lenovo.
Left-field option is the Microsoft Surface tablet, which is surprisingly good at the higher specs, if you are mostly in office or home locations with proper screens and keyboards for the big spreadsheets. I use these for senior management, the battery really does last all day and it can also drive a 34” 4k screen.
Most laptops are not really upgradeable any more, so get at least 16GB RAM and i7 processor.
As mentioned earlier, definitely W10 over W11.
Hint: create two user accounts when you set it up yourself, before giving it to corporate IT, and make them both administrators but without names like ‘admin’. You will find these useful once you have a domain account that needs permission to install anything.
I can find quite a few examples on both Dell and Acer stores where the business model is the same hardware - chassis, screen, processor, memory. Admittedly many more of the Dell business machines have the same matt Full HD screens that @Beibheirli_C loves and I hate...
There are clearly no depths the bawbag won’t sink to. Despicable man.
The hardware specs can look deceptively similar, but the actual hardware can be quite different in quality and availability. The home range will have a 1y warranty, the business range 3y.
Must be having his tea.
His scorched earth gamble was looking like an error late last week, but after yesterday he can see that Starmer's name is now inextricably linked to Savile's, hence his and Philp's doubling down today.
Johnson is very confident he's comprehensively won this. He survives and the Starmer brand well and truly trashed.
"funny"
And MexicanPete then continued to repeat this for the following 48 hours.
I used to watch his Sunday youtube programme when I had a youtube button on my remote. His RT show is a bit of a bore.
And if he winds You up that's even more reason to like him.
I’ll just point out that Dewar was a Weegie, and leave it at that.
Not Donald Trump or Boris Johnson, obvs.
This shows what actually went down...

He thought this was funny from the off and, like Boris Johnson, has shown no appetite to admit he was wrong.
The sign of a great man or woman is knowing when to admit you got something wrong and to say sorry accordingly.
Pete, great you are not.
Whether or not he made the decision personally, he was in charge of the department - and later apologised for its failings in the Savile case.
This is why all keyboards went matt grey in the early 80s and all screens had a matt layer to reduce reflections.
The contrast enhancement of the glossy screen is not worth the headaches it causes.
Holyroodhouse is a proper palace, not like that junk the clueless Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha clan bought off a tasteless toff in Cockneytoun.
One of the biggest scandals in the history of the Hanoverian monarchy is how their priceless Scottish estate was maliciously vandalised and neglected. Prime case: Falkland Palace.
I said on Monday week it was an effective line by Johnson. I later though it was an error. Johnson is doubling down on this today by not apologising after events yesterday, because he can see that on every news report, every demand for an apology is met with Starmer and Savile in the same sentence. Chris Philp must have repeated Starmer and Savile in the same sentence a dozen times on R4 Today.
Whatever the cynicism of Johnson's initial statement he now understands this is working for him. If you can't see this is hurting Starmer more than Johnson you are deluded.
I'm not interested in silly affectations of vocabulary. I guarantee that whatever the hell it does mean there will be a thousand better ways of saying it already in existence.
Do I sound grumpy?! It's been one of those days. Every single bloody thing I've dealt with. And don't get me started on Hermes who are so godamawful it beggars belief.

Nuff said.
Oh how we laughed as that result came in.
But it was correct - Sir Keir was head of the CPS at the time of the Savile allegations.
Hermes are a shower of bastards.
Did the organisation he was in charge of in 2009, make the decision not to charge Jimmy Savile with any crime?
The "business" spec thing is bemusing me. Yes of course some manufactures have a dedicated business only series - HP Probook as an example. But I can find several where the "business" one is the same model as the consumer one - series name, chassis, processor, memory etc etc. But the fastest processor options are consumer, with a slower one for business. Or buy the exact same machine but one is business...
“although he spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile"
is what Hansard recorded
Instead, this Leader of the Opposition, a former Director of Public Prosecutions—although he spent most of his time prosecuting journalists and failing to prosecute Jimmy Savile, as far as I can make out—chose to use this moment continually to prejudge a police inquiry.
The "prosecuting journalists" part of this hasn't attracted much (any) attention.

After that it was a done deal. I'd go further and say it added to the notion that Starmer is a straight dealer and that Johnson isn't. It's always the case that publicity benefits the market leader and Johnson is always going to be the market leader in telling lies
I think you've just proved my point.
You question as much as anything else comes down to your use cases - while I need 32gb of ram, you probably don't.
The question is, are enough of them offended enough to send 55 letters and then vote Johnson down in a VONC? I say no.
Is it Team GB, USA or Zhongguo?
He is of course no more a journalist than they are sane, but facts don't stop nutters like P Corbyn.
Scotland when losing.
Rings a bell.
Linford Christie’s gold was automatically a victory for the European Union.
Political unions. Tremendous fun.
If they actually competed as the EU, they’d have a small fraction of the number of entrants and medals that the EU nations won separately.
