''We've taken the right steps to battle the coronavirus pandemic and were guided by the advice of experts from Strictly every step of the way.''
So amongst the BLM, COVID19, and Rashford kids meals highlights AND the fact Sadiq Khan just offered a pay cut, Boris wants his plane decorated with a Union Jack at a cost of £900,000
****er
I think we should institute a national Thursday 8pm Slow Clap for Boris.
So he wants to spaff a million quid to make the plane look like a Mini Cooper owned by a racist estate agent?

Youre good with the crayons, offer to do it for 20% off?

Cockwomble.
Spending 900K of public money on pointless vanity branding is bad enough, but it looks even worse when you've just been caught on the hop and shamed into funding school meals for vulnerable kids.
It's revealing that no one appears to have thought "this doesn't look very great, let's can it".
And the latest announcement on the fabled Contact Tracing App:
"We're seeking to get something going before the winter, but it isn't the priority at the moment"
Lord Bethell says "we're not feeling great time pressure" about the app
Utterly predictable, but it demonstrates how nonsensical Hancock's lies about the original delivery dates were.
TWITTER.COM Boris in a car crash - surely not!
So he wants to spaff a million quid to make the plane look like a Mini Cooper...
It has a very Austin Powers feel to it. New shaguar now the old jag has had a prang.
And now Hancock caught on camera walking next to another MP with his hand round his shoulder, competing forgetting that social distancing still matters for every body.
£900k to paint a 'plane? Not in a million years. Lazy reporting again.
The aircraft in question (RAF Voyager) is due a maintenance check & repaint at Marshalls anyway. So how much extra will it cost to paint it in a colour (or colours) other than the standard RAF grey that it would be getting painted in? Not anywhere near £900k that's for sure.
Besides, it's only the rear fuselage & tailfin that's getting the 'extra' colours.
So his official spokesman is misleading the press, bit odd that;
The Prime Minister's spokesman said: "The £900,000 cost incorporates the cost of creating a design that will promote the UK around the world without compromising the plane's vital military role.
And that’s in the torygraph.
Its probably 800k to a design company to come up with what the Red Arrows already have on their planes
Yes it's a gross amount of money to spend on a paintjob in the midst of a killer pandemic, enormous recession, + just been humiliated by a footballer into stopping children from starving & even as youre laying off nurses... But jingoism is a powerful tool, especially on johnson/Cummings base
creating a design that will promote the UK around the world without compromising the plane’s vital military role.
A union flag in DPM?

I’d be interested to hear how painting a vital (and very expensive) military asset the same colours as a target doesn’t compromise its role?
Or maybe they know something we don’t and all those people painting military equipment olive greens and greys have had it wrong all along?
I bet the aircrew will be ecstatic at the prospect of flying a winged Union Jack into a war zone

Nothing new there, he's broken the distancing rules routinely since the start, as well as being repeatedly filmed sneezing and coughing into his hand against government guidance (including in bloody PMQs).
And why no pics of the new brat with adoring parents?
Perhaps things are not going well in the cramped flat in No10.
Boris in a car crash – surely not!
Was that Cummings driving the Range Rover?
If only.
Whoever was driving that range rover will be in a meeting first thin tomorrow - no tea, and definitely no biscuits.
Was that Cummings driving the Range Rover?
Sorry mate, I didn’t see you!
Meanwhile the bag of shite gets reminded of his past 'gems of wisdom'.
He is the mini Trump clown that goes missing,then makes one of his halfwit bunch take the front of house podium. He must be making daddy Trump so proud.
How many illegitimate kids did he have by that point?
Nobody will ever know.
Maybe one of his single mothers rear ended him 😉
£900000?
Those are rooky numbers. Boris usually likes to spunk at least 7 digit numbers for shits and giggles.

This is of course just first quote. Remember the bridge, Hs2 etc...
Which bridge? The London one, or the bridge to Ireland?
I’m more excited about the new island he’s building to home an airport, rather than allow extra capacity at Heathrow. Or has he forgotten all about that? Is whoever is PM stopping him?

If you're being charitable, there is no obligation to bring your kid into the public eye, and previous PMs have quite reasonably made an effort to protect their kids' privacy.
Alternatively, pictures of your kid are a handy thing to keep in the back pocket in case you need a good distraction from something worse than the normal day to day "business as usual" Johnson scandal.
Apparently he tweeted about Winston Churchill 10 times today. He really is as odious as Trump. Where Trump tweets out to mobilise armed militias and biker gangs, Boris tweets bring out the aeging football hooligans, his very own Praetorian Guard.

The alt-right mission has been to legitimise racism and xenophobia (that many people have but had suppressed), then appeal to it in more and more open ways. De Pfeffel is just along for the ride.
I keep saying this to people who think this is just a blip and things will get back to 'normality' in the Tories.
This is not the party that it was 5 years ago. It is not the party of prudence and business and whatever they thought it stood for. It has become a hard right, heavy on odious ideology, light on detail and decency populist movement.
No one can seriously be shocked that De Pfeffel is appealing to racists. It is entirely congruent with their aims.
Remember "Brexit in name only"?
He's "Prime Minister in name only"
He’s “Prime Minister in name only”
And his fantasy is that name is 'Churchill'.
In fact he is more like Von Papen.
Please tell me that the image of him waving a packet of biscuits that have 10,000 miles on the clock is a Photoshop job.
Unfortunately not
I for one can't wait for Vegemite and TamTams to displace marmite and penguins
In the real world
How far we have regressed now we are supposed to be happy that we are actively trying to increase food miles purely because we are actively being ****ish to our closest neighbours.
'Progress', eh?
Tim Tams - that should go down nicely in northern ireland and weeggieville.
And his fantasy is that name is ‘Churchill’.
Needs more Eels
This could be your his lucky day in hell
Never know who it might be at your doorbell
This could be your lucky day in hell
Waking up with an ugly face
Winston churchhill in drag
Looking for a new maternal embrace
Another tired old gag
Am I just a walking bag of chewed up dust and bones
Gillard, being an Australian, puts in a few nice digs:
"I do worry that people are starting to imagine that a trade deal with Australia is somehow a substitute for being on the doorstep of a market with 500 million people, it's not" says former Australian PM Julia Gillard on #Brexit

T.CO Vera Lynns death is a gift horse, the ultimate "look, a squirrel!" opportunity
Right now they will be preparing scripts about Blighty, blitz spirit, cliffs and getting stuff done. Endless opportunity to not be talking about CV deaths, DFID, economic crash, Brexit, UNion Jack planes or school meals.
BloJo will be spaffing himself over this.

No, it is not. Can you imagine how well Cameron would fare under the Cummings regime?
I for one will not be surprised when the Johnson Youth is created. You could replace school with it, or something, now seems like a good opportunity seeing as how school has been knackered by the piss poor covid response. Teach the kids that Boris is always right (even when he's wrong). Chuck a bit of eugenics and British Superiority Lessons in there for good measure. What else do they need to know to Make British Brexit Britain Brilliant Again?
Sadly, you may well be spot on. We sat back and watched the USA sink so low as if it was a TV show, assuming that no matter how bad our lot were, at least they weren’t as shallow and incompetent as Trump… I fear we’re in for a bit of a shock over here.
Tim Tams – that should go down nicely in northern ireland and weeggieville.
Shouldn't be a problem. After all, we've been using PayPal for years now.
