The Conservative Party

If that's true, I had no idea he was adopted.

It's a weird one now regarding tory politicians. My parents brought me up to be honest and responsible, traits sadly lacking in a Prime Minister that has earned a fortune writing lies for a living, can't stop himself from demonstrably lying as Prime Minister, fathered multiple children, left his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer, and surrounded himself with sycophants that also find it impossible to be honest.

They've spent years demonising the less fortunate in society, calling them scroungers, work shy layabouts, whatever, yet they can't recognise they have a moral compass that is worse than those they pillory.

I've said it before, but if I had raised children with their levels of dishonesty and lack of integrity, I'd be deeply disappointed. We deserve better than that, and fortunately most people are honest and decent. It's a shame those now running the country don't reflect that.

Born in Aberdeen, Gove was in care until being adopted aged four months old, after which he was raised in the Kittybrewster area of the city.

Wiki

Its part of the initiation test of being a tory if you are already a over privileged **** like Johnson and Reece-Mogg then its just be yourself. But for people like Gove, Patel and Odd Job you have to prove that you are prepared to turn your back on where you came from, kick that ladder of opportunity away anyone trying to get to where you did. If you a person like Patel then you have to be overtly racist and hostile to every immigrant in the vilest nastiest way possible, Gove's party piece was in education where his job was to reduce life opportunities for poor people. Education is not a good thing for a right wing populist governments.
Its all about creating a nation of flag waving simpletons who never criticise the government. Like when Rees Mogg said that permanent secretaries had a duty to remain 'completely apolitical' after several used social to support the anti-racism campaign in recent years.

Mr Rees-Mogg used his Moggcast podcast on the ConHome website to suggest that they should only tweet about state events like the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and Remembrance Sunday.

He was actually sending out a dog whistle to all saying this is how he wants the population to behave.

Not all this has nothing to do with Brexit, ultimate control is being able as a government to make the rules. The problem is we have this government, now I didn’t or won’t vote for the fuckers and I know you won’t. Unless you can tell me what employment laws this govt has been forced to make because we exited the Eu then you are just doing what you normally do. Blame Brexit for everything on every thread.

Not having a go but it’s not really helpful to anybody.

It will be about Brexit irrespective of whether it is down to Brexit or not. The Brexit message was about control and protecting British workers and British jobs from European laws and Europeans. Brexit was about protectionism and isolation and looking after your own. The news that British employees get fucked over and French workers don’t cuts across that message, a feeling that this was not meant to happen, that this is ‘not what we voted for’.

A policy driven by emotion but does not deliver, either in reality or emotionally, is always vulnerable.

It's about brexit because brexit is the reason we have the current of set of bastards in charge of this country.
 
Just listened to R4. It would appear that the government has to be told, by law, no less than 45 days before a firm has to make more than 100 employees redundant. If this is true, have the government been told and we don’t know about it? Wouldn’t put it past them.

Very true.
When we were told we were ‘taking back control’ what they omitted to say was that the control would be handed straight on to French companies who provide electricity, various European companies who run water and other utilities, Middle Eastern businesses who own ferry companies and who finance the farcical con-trick of Freeports, and of course, Russians who simply provide large sums of money to gain power and influence.
We can expect more ‘taking back control’ as the government’s much heralded ‘bonfire of regulations’ sees an end to the protection of EU employment legislation and more British jobs disappear in a puff of brexit smoke and mirrors.

Would be a tremendous own goal if they had, if anybody looks more deeply into it that is.
