The man has no regard for democracy, no regard for decency and I would suggest no regard for the likes of people like us. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45121976 This was a mere 3 days after he resigned from office! |

You can tell precisely who the plebs are on here. They're the ones stupid and gullible enough to defend him, either by saying that "he has a good point..." or by saying "well, Boris will be Boris, the old card..." He has sown hatred in this country and he knows exactly what he's doing. Bastard. |

At my boys-only Grammar School, the staff were all male, except for the school secretary and one lab assistant. The staff at the girls-only High School next door were all female. 'Twas ever thus.

If Britain (or any other country) wants more male teachers, by the way, there's a simple way to attract them: pay teachers properly and ensure good working conditions and job security, and the men will be elbowing the women out of the way to get those jobs. |

13 Aug 18 - 04:19 AM (#3943525) Subject: RE: BS: Johnson flagrant breach of the rules From: Raggytash The point is Big Al the ministerial rules laid down by the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments state that ex ministers should wait at least 3 months before taking up such a position as Johnson did. (He had been earning £23,000 a month or £276,000 per annum from the Telegraph) Johnson, as all with all other ministers, would/should have known this yet he took the role 3 days after resigning. That is why the story has relevance. You, I, Joe Soap or Fred Bloggs have to abide by the rules laid down by the state or suffer the consequences, is Johnson any different. |

The answer of course would be an emphatical No, they would maintain that the neighbour had broken the law of the land and should be made the face the penalties laid down. So, if they would not defend a neighbour who had broken the rules, why on earth do they do so when Johnson breaks the rules. Simples really. PS Steve, I have been told that this story about Johnson is old news because it goes back some days, the story about Corbyn goes back 4 years!

In street parlance he put two fingers up to the rules which govern all ex-ministerial appointments. Actually, your link says (in the words of The Advisory Committee on Business Appointments ) that he should have asked their advice, not their permission.

Any advice he would have received, had he asked as he should have, would have been along the lines of telling him not to go ahead. |

13 Aug 18 - 07:48 AM (#3943592) Subject: RE: BS: Johnson flagrant breach of the rules From: Nigel Parsons to quote another bit of that opening link: The committee advises ex-ministers on taking new jobs after they quit. It does this based on rules aimed at avoiding the risk of a former minister "improperly exploiting privileged access to contacts in government" and the suspicion that a new job is "a reward for past favours". Boris has already said he won't be exploiting information he received in his ministerial capacity. As for the new job being "a reward for past favours", he is just taking up where he left off when he became a minister, so hardly a new job, even if it did need a new contract. |
