What a Tory 'Plonker'

[Jimbuna]

Serious mistakes were made by Defence Secretary Liam Fox in his working relationship with friend Adam Werritty, Downing Street has said.
Mr Fox apologised to MPs for the controversy, insisting that at no time was national security put at risk.
In a statement, he said he met the businessman 22 times - more than previously stated - at the Ministry of Defence and 18 times on foreign trips.

Is "plonker" superfluous to the title?

[frau kaleun]

:hmmm:

I would've gone with "tosser," or perhaps "tosspot." For the alliteration effect.

[Oberon]

Is "plonker" superfluous to the title?

Definitely. :yep:

Just take 'Plonker' away from the title and you'd still have the same meaning. :03:

Why do we keep falling for this "I accept that it was a mistake to allow distinctions to be blurred between my professional responsibilities and my personal loyalties to a friend and, Mr Speaker, I am sorry for this. "I have apologised to the prime minister, to the public and at the first opportunity available, to the House."

[Tribesman]

RESIGN!!

In all seriousness.... a friend with blurred lines between politics and personal business, people attending meetings and participating where they should have no role at all, people involved in sensitive issues on both foreign and domestic policies with no security clearance....how on earth can Cameron expect a resignation?
Its exactly the same as what he was playing at.

[papa_smurf]

Maybe he should defect to the Labour party:haha:

[Tribesman]

Would he have to compete with Mandy for dodgy dealings or could they be special friends?

[Herr-Berbunch]

What was the alternative after Tony B Liar and Sad Sack, a Milibrother? :nope:

Let's face it, whoever came in would have had to do something quite drastic about the economy, whoever came in would face some sort of 'scandel' at some point, whoever came in would face the wrath of the public whatever they did.

Let's also face it that (usually) Labour born and bred will vote Labour, and Tory born and bred will vote Tory, and whoever is in government the others will bitch and moan. Neither can do the right thing for anyone, and there is no viable alternative without the country risking some even bigger knobhead in. Let's just take it in turns and play nicely. :D

Ditto with the U.S Democrats/Republicans, that the problem with our democracy, one constantly re-assigns blame the other, (while nothing gets resolved by either.)
Also the change of hands every 4-10 years can be very disruptive to the development of any nation, as projects, policies, state services etc are constanlty chopped and changed.

But then again, its still better than a 'put up and shut up'. dictatorship.

In America, 'Liberal' is a dirty word. If you say im a 'liberal' in the US you can expect ridicule.
In the UK 'Conservative' is dirty word. If you say im a 'conservative' in the UK you can expect ridicule.

I'm north-ish (not that Jim would agree), I don't have a whippet or a flat cap but I do like black pudding (not that my doctor would agree) and I don't vote Red!

Still sounds better than the american 2 party monopoly.

At least with parliamentiary system you (voters) can "give the other side a go" without large scale obstruction and fillibusters.

[Tribesman]

This story just keeps on giving.
So Fox said to parliament this was all just chance encounters, nothing really crossed the boundaries of politics and private business and no national issues were involved......yet his friend booked into the international defence conference giving the Houses of Parliament as his address and assistant to the secratary of defence as his personal details, and the booking was made by a private company run by Fox.

Have they ever thought of running for office in Ireland, they would fit right in and it is a european destination of choice for dodgy backdoor arms dealers.

Can two parties be a monopoly? :hmmm:

Once again we have what I like to describe as 'within the rules, but not in the spirit of the rules' thinking.
Get shot of fox - I know a few blokes with dogs, horses and red coats who'd gladly oblige, just for old times sake you understand.

[Tribesman]

Is it though?
His "apology" for the events as he described them put it right on the borderline of the rules, but it looks increasingly like the actual events were really so far over that border it makes his statement and "apology" a joke.

While we are slagging off the Con/Lab/Lib here is why I think all three of them stink.


The three big parties at Westminster have told their MPs to vote against a motion calling for a referendum to be held on UK membership of the EU.

So much for them working for us! :nope:

What about our say on the matter?

[sidslotm]

seems to me Con/Lab/Lib are all of a muchness, Their all bound by the rules of the Eurocrats, cheaters and liars at best.

The idea of a Tory ruler may well be the answer in the end, there has not been a Tory in power since Churchill, the last self aclaimed Tory was powell. The house of Commons today is filled with a nouveau middle class conservative that have no understanding of honour, and to make matters worse they have also infested the Lords.

We are living in a new era, where leaders defer all responsibility to reason, England like most free Nations was not built by reasonable people, but by unreasonable people, and if that means a tough Tory then let it be.
