I suppose if you can spend £2.4m on that £77k on your eyebrows is reasonable.

Jean’s a racist cunt. Fair play to Lammy for the way he handled that.

It never ceases to amaze me that people ( if they are indeed not just staged) can be bothered and have that much time to make points like that
It’s great to be involved in social movements, but ringing up radio stations… meh…

Sorry I know its not important in the grand scheme of things but I have this question on Boris Johnson for a long time. Surely there are PR or image consultants for government officials who can do a better job for his hair? Or is that a deliberate image projection of hair that takes away the attention from everything else?

It’s deliberate.

He’s always been dishevelled so I don’t think this is a conscious political ploy. It’s more that he simply doesn’t care about his appearance and, perhaps more importantly, simply doesn’t care about having to project an appearance. From a young age he has come across as someone who very much wants you to know that whatever he’s doing, whoever he’s appearing before, they are simply not worth his time to make an effort for. This may give the impression that he’s lazy, but I don’t think he is. I think he wants you to think he’s lazy. So you then think that he’s brilliant.
For me, the truth is somewhere in between. He’s not as lazy as you think he is but he’s also not as brilliant as he thinks he is. Most others will always underestimate him, which is why he often succeeds unexpectedly. Whereas he will always have an inflated opinion of himself, which is why he’ll ultimately always fall short.
What was that brilliant quote he said about himself in an interview (I think his family were also interviewed)? Something about the benefits of projecting yourself as a bumbling fool so that nobody will be able to tell the times when he really is a fool? Something like that?
Found it:
It is often useful to give the slight impression that you are deliberately pretending not to know what is going on, because the reality may be that you don’t know what is going on, but people won’t be able to tell the difference.

To me, even the worst politicians in power must have something in him or her to make it to the positions they are in so I am sure Boris have his strengths having made it to the PM position of the 2nd largest economy in Europe despite having being criticized for many things. Was just genuinely curious because even I who does not have much hair left would be very bothered by that messy hair look from just an appearance point of view, so that is why I thought is there some deliberate attempt as from what I know, politicians in most modern world have their personal image consultant or something along that line etc…
Worth tracking down the letter to Johnson Senior written by Eton College I think.
Found it. Sound familiar to anyone?

Intentional. Hes probably naturally a scruffy bastard but the over the top dishevelled look and even his name, Boris, have been workshopped to death to make him seem like “good old Boris just one of the lads”.

It’s worth going to Alton Towers just to drive past the factory 
And rightly so.
Predictable as fuck.
With the best will in the world I really hope that one day there is a cause or injustice that compels you to demonstrate your dissent. On that day you will see the police for what they truly are.
You hope that one day the world goes wrong to the point that I take to the streets under a scientifically lead governmental lockdown? Cheers mate, would you like me to contract plague too?
You see the police through your lens, I’ll stick to mine.
Indeed. Could we now have the independent report please?
I’m not saying that the conclusions are necessarily wrong, but I’d quite like a second opinion.

To people who were on Clapham Common, or at the Black Lives Matter protests, or are currently protesting in Bristol, that is exactly what has happened.
As always, with you it’s your resolute inability put yourself in another person’s shoes, or see the world outside your bubble of privilege.

That ruling is on a par with a Home Office expense claim.
It was a clusterfuck of failure from the top which ultimately led to piss poor planning by the police. Difficult to comment on what happened on the ground as I wasn’t there but when you have police refusing to work with the event organisers, while higher up responsibility was passed back to the police it stinks.
When will the UK be renamed New Russia? Time to put a picture of a JCB in the top left corner of the Union Jack.
