O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[OP67]

If he couldn't sink lower, BJ is now deflecting everything from him on to KS by bring up the Saville saga. Awful as it was, it has been shown that it was not a decision of KS not to prosecute - but of course that wasn't what Johnson was saying is what we are told. Total rubbish! Johnson has no care for anyone but himself - no thought at all about the victims and what they may feel bringing it back up.

This morning it was cringeworthy to hear the minister who had been trotted out saying that what happened with Starmer last night was totally unconnected with what Johnson had said in Parliament, including the fact that they were shouting, 'Saville'.

Obviously just a coincidence!

The comments about Saville were by one person at the end of many other shouts regarding Starmer not putting up any opposition to the government, which they haven't. However the media pick up on the last bit and run with it as per normal. I certainly couldn't vote for either party at the current time, utter shambles the lot if them!!

Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) so he would have known the ins and outs of all cases. He was top of the tree hense his knighthood so should take responsibility IMO.

Starmer was not directly responsible for the Savile case but Johnson was 100% responsible for the culture that allowed the Tory party to act so irresponsibly.
Bozo is incapable of contrition - a state that normally follows a sincere apology - Bozo would rather spit his poison at all and sundry.
I'm surprised that so little has been made of the fact that Savile spent many a night under the roof of M Thatcher, the then leader of the Tories.

Isn't it great that we've taken control of our own destiny?

UK firms have been hit by "increased costs, paperwork and border delays" as a result of Brexit, MPs have said. A report from parliament's spending watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said it "was clear" that leaving the EU was having an impact on UK trade volumes. It also warned things could worsen this year as new import controls come in. "One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy - even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic," said PAC chair Meg Hillier. "Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays."

Careful Elite I think Brexit talk is banned on here because otherwise all the lads who voted for it would be forever telling us how great it’s been!

an investigation into whether the CPS had been right not to charge Savile in 2009 was published by Alison Levitt QC. She was asked to investigate this by Mr Starmer.

Levitt is the wife of Lord Carlile, a defender and friend of Britain’s second most prominent nonce, Greville Janner. Her husband was also closely involved with Cyril Smith.
