Read some of Catullus' and Ovid's poetry, you'll find lots of them in there! The former even writes one that includes the line 'he eats his own shit and drinks his own piss'

an absolute c**t of a man.
Constantly hides behind his religion when it suits but conveniently ignores any part of the bible or Christian philosophy that contradicts his I'm alright jack outlook on life.
But has a posh accent and can spout a bit of Latin so gets a pass from a large chunk of the cap doffing electorate.
Sure the fact he was on the board of Vote Leave and has donated over £3.5m to the Conservatives, including £50K to Johnson last year, has nothing to do with it.BBC said:Conservative Party co-treasurer Peter Cruddas has resigned after secretly filmed footage showed him apparently offering access to the prime minister for a donation of £250,000 a year.
He made the claim to Sunday Times reporters posing as potential donors.
He said £250,000 gave "premier league" access, including dinner with David Cameron and possibly the chance to influence government policy.
My response to the announcement today that the Prime Minister has appointed 16 new peers to the House of Lords:
My fundamental concern is about the number of new peers that have been appointed by the Prime Minister in his first 12 months in Office. Mr Johnson has added 16 to his list of appointments bringing the total for the year up to 52 new peers over two lists. This list will bring the total in the House of Lords to over 830 - almost 200 more than the House of Commons.
I will not comment on the personalities involved, although perhaps I could personally welcome John Sentamu, but my concern remains that the central defect is the present system of appointments. Unlike other senates in democratic countries, there is no limit on the number of members there can be. Any Prime Minister can appoint as many as he or she likes. To her great credit the previous Prime Minister, Theresa May, committed her government to a policy of ‘moderation.'.
In a massive U-turn, those words seem to have been forgotten. It may also now be the time to review the role and the powers of the House of Lords Appointments Commission (HOLAC).
The number of appointments now being made also run smack against the recommendations of the Burns committee on the size of the House that was overwhelmingly endorsed by the House of Lords. The committee recommended that numbers should be reduced to 600.
To add insult to injury, for the second time the announcement of new peers has been made when Parliament is not sitting.
Sometimes the Lords itself is blamed for a failure to change. My answer to that is- don't blame the Lords, blame successive governments who have avoided the subject. The reply has been that change is ‘not a priority’. It is possible that with the last two lists, the public may now disagree.
Covidiot and general idiot Daniel Hannan too I heard earlier.Johnson has given Peter Cruddas a seat in the House of Lords for 'services to the country'. That's the same Peter Cruddas who was caught in the 'cash for access' scandal.
Sure the fact he was on the board of Vote Leave and has donated over £3.5m to the Conservatives, including £50K to Johnson last year, has nothing to do with it.
The House of Lords appointment commission, an independent body, advised against the appointment but were ignored by Johnson. Rather conveniently its been done when MPs are away and Johnson can't be questioned on it.
The speaker of the House of Lords, Norman Fowler, isn't happy about the rate at which Johnson is appointing new peers.
Well he will obviously turn it down given his feelings on nobodies and former politicians being given seats.Covidiot and general idiot Daniel Hannan too I heard earlier.
Quite catchy.This apparently is vying for Christmas no 1
That's got to be bollocks unless there's something coming out in the Sunday papers tomorrow. As ineffectual as he's been that's not a reason to quit after 9 months.rumours on social media that Keith is resigning. Stress it's on social media so probably bollocks

rumours somethings happened, people hinting at drink driving. Again, it's on social media so it probably is bollocks.
He doesn't strike me as the drink driving sort.rumours somethings happened, people hinting at drink driving. Again, it's on social media so it probably is bollocks.

Who's Keith?
He did hit that cyclist in his SUV a month or two ago.... surely not connected to that?He doesn't strike me as the drink driving sort.

That said - I concur that it’s bollocks
Labour leader?Starmer
Labour leader?
Who's Keith?
‘On the motion of applying the brake I’ve decided to abstain.’it's not the first time hes struggled with not knowing whether to go left or right
Might have been a lot easier to dismiss if Starmer was available to say something.... anything... on any important issue at all....It's a bunch of sad losers who want a return to the days of the fucking awful corbyn leadership
Might have been a lot easier to dismiss if Starmer was available to say something.... anything... on any important issue at all....
Oh I saw that finally - it did take them 6 months to get round to it though.Maybe they are too busy dealing things that matter like upcoming end of the Eviction ban, the end of SEISS, the mortgage holiday deadline, the closing of the business support schemes and the cut in UC.
Reading the Guardian? Hope for you yet.A fair summary here
Decent, competent, cautious, but Starmer still has to prove he can inspire victory | Keir Starmer | The Guardian
The Labour leader is doing well in the polls, but it’s time he laid out a political credo that makes him electablewww.google.co.uk
