I've heard from someone who worked with Gove at the Department for environment that he genuinely gave a poo poo about green policy, listened and worked extremely hard to the surprise of absolutely everyone. I'm willing to agree that 1) there is no difference between parroting the views of cunts for self service/preservation and actually being one 2) he probably actually is one anyway so whatever, but the idea that he might be "the most racist tory" is a big loving claim and needs to be based on something Labour can't even keep nonce-protecting out of the papers, ffs. We are stuck with these people. Having a vague mental hierarchy of what a oval office they all are is kinda useful.

We are, at last, experiencing a new empire: where the happy south stamps over the cruel, dirty, toothless face of the northerner. At last Mrs. Thatcher is saying, I don't care what half of the population is saying, because the richer half will keep me in power. - Michael Gove, one of the better Tories.

You don't want to peak and only have the least worst at the end. You would want an equal amount, open with a worse one, then a few middling to least worst ones, then the last few for the worst of the worst.

In a different party, In a different country given different views from a different education under a different electoral system In the right department In a different universe "Gove would actually be a really good MP" seemed like 1 too many qualifiers to pursue an argument into the second page - so I'm reverting to default low-content shitposting

Apropos Gove, I recently heard from a reliable source that the Westminster gossip is that our 'favourite' Pob lookalike has been pretty quiet recently because his boyfriend has just moved in with him. Given the overwhelming "will this do" aura to the levelling up white paper, I can believe it.

Pretty sure the Saville comment was just cover for implementing the new policy of fire/rehire right to the top. also 500 other loving appalling things Boris is getting done before handing over the reigns to Rishi or whoever.

I was going to say. Weird high ground to take that you're happy to work for a man who is personally a hugely reprehensible piece of poo poo and lies with every breath he takes, and to further the goals of the party filled with people like him (among them personal friends of Savile), but you can't possibly stand for a throwaway insult that isn't even really all that far from the truth.

The Saville thing is just an excuse to leave. There must be something really bad Boris has done that is not known yet. Be it drugs at the parties that the Met are trying to cover up, or they know they are hosed next election.

Yeah I realise that these people haven't actually had an attack of conscience over this. It's just so insulting and tiring that the papers and supposed top political commentators are constantly telling you "these problems you see and experience yourself, they aren't real, they don't exist, but if they do exist they aren't actually problems, they're good", and then on the other hand they act like two posh pricks having a spat about who is the bigger friend to powerful rapists is the most important thing in the world. If you took their poo poo at face value you would quite literally become insane.

I know you all love my  posts about London air traffic but there's a doozy going on at the moment - the East of England Air Ambulance has just landed at St. George's Hospital in Tooting, having (presumably) picked someone up from the Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge. This on it's own would be *fairly* peculiar - night operations over London are severely limited, night landings much, much more so, and although St. George's is a reserve base for G-HEMS (London's air ambulance) in the event the Royal London isn't available, and I can't see anything (skimming Wiki) that either St. George's offers that Papworth doesn't, but maybe there is some ultra-ultra-specialist thing that they can do there that necessitates all this rule-bending (I'd be less surprised if the traffic were the other way - the Papworth is a world leader in cardiac and pulmonary surgery so it might be a patient needing them urgently, or even a heart or a lung being picked up for transplantation. Where it gets *really* weird is... it made this exact trip, at exactly the same time (well within 2 minutes), last night as well. I don't think it's anything suspicious, but it certainly is really bloody weird.

OwlFancier posted:Do youse really only have one air ambulance for the whole east of england? "East of England" isn't just a term for everything from Newcastle to the Isle of Wight, it's a specific region comprising East Anglia and all the bits of England that everyone else thinks are in East Anglia but which insist they aren't, plus the Home Counties north and east of London. It's almost perfectly sized for a single air ambulance to cover - you can fly anywhere there from Cambridge in under 30 minutes, and has a population of about 6 million.

I was assuming it wasn't all the way to berwick because we have our own air ambulance up here based not far from james cook hospital, but I wasn't sure how big "east of england" would be, I thought there would be more people in it than that but fair enough.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in Downing Street to witness his mantrums as he sees his world crumble around him. He's completely hosed. He has no idea how to be PM, as he's relied on his faithful Downing Street team to do all the work and keep up the illusion. I can't see many people step up to fill the vacant roles, as to do so could be deemed as career suicide. So we now have a neutered PM without his trusted senior advisers and communications chiefs. But he's 100% going to refuse to resign. He knows he's going to be a pariah when he loses his office, and life will never be as good for him as they currently are right now. So he has nothing to lose, and as we've seen multiple times, he doesn't care who or what he destroys to get what he wants. Interesting times.... e: Yup, it's a coup https://twitter.com/BosonHiccup/status/1489327870656798725 fuctifino fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Feb 3, 2022 |

[fake edit] Yes, the helicopter, along with maintenance is funded by the charity. As, presumably, are the salaries of the paramedics and doctors seconded to the service. Because god forbid politicians ever actually pay for something useful out of taxes
