"Now you might not have been expecting EastEnders tonight, but here it is." They should have said nothing, to see whether anyone expecting an interview of Boris Johnson by Laura Kuenssberg would have been able to tell the difference.
The BBC would have sacked an intern who had made the "mistake" to which Kuenssberg has "owned up". Her only mistake was getting caught. Her closeness to Johnson is hardly news. Indeed, it is as lacking in newsworthiness as the revelation that Benjamin Netanyahu had bugged Johnson's personal lavatory. Or, since we are discussing Kuenssberg, Johnson's other personal lavatory.
Those who think that it would be worth conscripting British teenagers to fight and die for the land of Netanyahu are as dangerously deluded as those who think that it would be worth drafting American teenagers to fight and die for the land of Jonathan Pollard. Unfortunately, while there is some very small restraint among the rulers of the land that Pollard betrayed, there is none whatever from the person or entourage of the man who is now enthroned upon the bog that Netty bugged.
Do you believe it?
ReplyDeleteThis time, yes. He is not normally a reliable source, but this rings true.
DeleteRobert Jenrick and Tom Tugendhat are right about Starmer’s surrender. The handover of the Chagos Islands by the same New Labour that surrendered to the IRA in Northern Ireland confirms Peter Hitchens point: wherever British strategic interests and territories are concerned, New Labour’s foreign policy is indistinguishable from that of

Jenrick, Tugendhat, arguably even Hitchens although he is better at dealing with it: the realisation that the Empire no longer exists is the realisation that they were, and remain, trained for nothing.
DeleteThe same goes for Boris Johnson, which brings us back on topic. Please remain there.
