Sir Kier has an alleged super injunction out to stop the press blabbing his secret

I have no skin in the game either way, but if this is the ‘secret’ my dad called me to excitedly tell me then why can’t they just leave his private life private. It’s not as if this (if it’s the same thing I heard) would in any way jeopardise his ability to do his job.

Guess it's no different about articles about Johnsons 100000 kids?

While it might not affect the ability to the the job, if he's taking out Super Injuctions doesn't that open up the possibility of blackmail?

I despise Johnson, but likewise I didn’t like the intrusions into his private life.

I get it, and it’s going to get pounced on for sure, it’s just me- long as nobody is getting hurt and nothing illegal is going on, I don’t want to know about it, I just don’t see it as relevant & it’s his own business.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

But I do agree- the minute someone mentions ‘super injunction’ you may as well take out a full page advert saying “I have a secret that I really don’t anyone to know about” and invite everyone to go digging.
It’s all over the internet anyway, what’s the point in these things.

There is no point, I'm sure if he's hiding any secrets the press will be wanting it removed or an MP uses his privlage to divulge

The rumours of course become bizarre and centre round his contempt for women

Cross dressing, homosexual, drug taking, love child, infidelity, I find it fascinating but it could all be a load of bollocks

the most sinister PM related stuff I read was about Ted Heath, proper dark stuff

 

[rondog1973]

I mean for fucks sake, this stuff which is just completely made up out of whole cloth and people genuinely believe it.

He's a researcher for Isabel Oakeshott

Yes saw that, horrendous if true, don't quite know why it's not been investigated and hes had a posthumous trial unless its to protect the identity of the victims

Isabel Oakshott uses research???

Is this Starmer? I think that stuff would be put about by his team to make him seem more interesting.

Unsurprising, I know, but my money is on cuck.

Him being keen on philately would make him seem more interesting.

Ah yes, the "independent journalist" Nicholas Ballsack.

 

[Marty]

What's going on with Starmer? Any links?

Yeah him and Wes

A few Reform activists are writing fan fiction in a similar vein to the Trumpers when he lost the election and they were convinced he was really still president and would take power aaaaany day now.

The far right have a real problem with reality. Which considering reality thinks they’re mostly a bunch of sad cunts is fair enough really.

AllI had paid the VAT, Starmer should pay income tax on the benefit in kind.

They're not going to do austerity, best get the pampers out for David O'Day

It's hard to see anything other than PFI V2 at this point for all infrastructure spending

When Heathrow was doing terminal 4 , not a death sentence may I add I heard of labourers on 2k a week, there'd definitely be hours as part of that, but then you get all the jumping through hoops for security and all that, just a waste really and the same for most contracts I'd assume!

I think PFI V1 was a disaster in the NHS

And everything else it touched

 

[wingy]

Kinda like if was taxed correctly at the time it wouldn't or couldn't have occurred and got the double whammy?

 

[Como]

I worked on PFI contracts, the logic escaped me, just seemed a gravy train for the consultants.

Dozens of criminals freed early from Scottish prisons to tackle overcrowding returned to jail after 'reoffending'

A total of 477 inmates were let out early in Scotland in four tranches over the summer to tackle overcrowding.

To be fair no one could have seen this happening.

Unclear if they have released other prisoners to make room for the ones returning.

The flip side of this would be stories about criminals let off prison who reoffend. Not really much way out of it other than building prisons.
