I'm sure Mrs Zaghari- Ratcliff is fine with potentionally spending 5 extra years in prison because Boris is being Boris, personally I'm sick of him and his act and think anyone still being taken in by it might just want to buy these magic beans of me

We all know what she is like so there is no surprise there but we are not talking about her or Jeremy's gang as we are talking about Boris and his repeated gaffes and lack of how to behave as is becoming of a foreign secretary.

As you're checking grammar for us, it's a capital D at the start of a sentence and want not wan't. Also a full stop at the end would make for the perfect ending.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
This story keeps getting better: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/n...tings-1.447605
No 10 knew of the meetings after they happened, told her not to tell anyone, then denied they knew.
So as I gather. She meet the Israeli PM 'on holiday' and that seems to have informed policy. She then lied about that to the press but not No 10 who also lied about knowing to the press and both of them lied to the foreign office. Mental.

It’s a non story and unimportant as far as I’m concerned.
It’s Iran up to no good with their over zealous legal processes. They are using this woman as a bargaining chip.

It's just a lot of pedantic nonsense about very little, Den. You'd think the media would have other more serious world events to cover.
Whether Priti Patel stays or goes is not of prime importance to the nation, although I suppose it takes attention away from this tedious never ending Brexit debate that's been going on forever.

I think part of the story is the complete chaos that is the government right now.

One cannot pick and choose what one likes from the media just because it does not suit ones own political leanings OB be it whatever party one supports.

Democracy's do have debates OB as remember this is probably the most important event that has happened in this country for a long long time so people have every right to air their opinions and views even if one disagrees with it.

Yes and some people are cynically trying to turn all sorts of pathetic nonsense into more chaos in order to bring the government down. That's a dangerous game and if they succeed in doing so the next government will get the same treatment and there'll be even more chaos. Nobody is going to benefit from that, least of all the ordinary man in the street who's already suffered so much but it'll give the media plenty to fill their airtime...

Agreed, Osem. There are too many people trying to cause trouble at the moment. Any idiot can be critical, but Theresa has a huge problem given her slender majority, and yet things are moving forward.
I can imagine far worse chaos if Jeremy was in power without a clear majority. In fact I can hardly bring myself to think about it. Yet this is what we will get if we're not careful, so we should back off and let her do her job.
And for those who would like to see Marxist Jeremy in power, be careful what you wish for, comrades. You might get more than you bargained for (and I'm certainly not talking money here!).

The media and the opposition will always go after weakness in the government. The trick is how strong the government is, how much material they give them and how they act when something goes wrong. May seems unwilling or unable to take action.

Maybe she shouldn't have called the election and then taken the electorate for granted. It's the Government's fault we're in this mess and that Corbyn has a realistic prospect of getting into No 10. No 10 and the Cabinet seem to be in total disarray with Minsters going freelance if they're not backstabbing each other. Expecting charity from the opposition and media is naive.
