I think that if you asked him what his job was, he would say "to sell newspapers". If the easiest way to do that is by, well, you know his M.O., then so be it. Otherwise though, his obsession seems to be "outward respectability". Plus a dose of do as I say, not as I do.

And.... conspicuous by his absence again in the NY2020 Honours

[KevS]

Oh fuckity fuckity fucking hell.

[The Red Arrow]

Still think it can't...oh, you know the rest.

[Kreuzberger]

Oh, dearie me. That's the sound of old cassette tapes, hand-written edicts, and dusty files being retrieved from attics not so very far from Derry Street.

[KevS]

Some people REALLY didn't approve of that decision about Diversity, did they?

[Oblomov]

I now have the horrid feeling that Rambozza The Clown is going give out a "Fuck you lefties" gong and award Dacre a knighthood after the former steps down as PM

[The Red Arrow]

Government of the upskirt, by the all grown up, for the nipple slip.

[davidjay]

And to think, it was a mere few weeks ago that it was only their supporters who thought the most important thing in politics was owning the lefties.

[mr angry manchester]

Noticed the thread bump and thought for a minute the cunt had died.

Bollocks.

[KevS]

Yeah, sorry 'bout that, squire.

Oh, and Obby - Oct 10 is the date to look out for. Brenda' s previously postponed Birthday Honours List.

[The Red Arrow]

Interesting takes in these threads. Some crossover with the Labour thread on this august forum.

[AOB]

I'm not clear about Oborne's tweets. Dacre isn't widely enough known to the masses, certainly not enough to
act as a distraction from any other story. We know of him obviously, most wouldn't. First he says to distract from the lockdown and then he says another story that would break yesterday evening.

It's no matter, I 'm just genuinely unclear about Oborne's tweets.

[youngian]

How many voters know who Dacre is or what Ofcom does? Oborne might be right about distraction techniques but what a feeble shot that is by the beleaguered government.

[AOB]

Did Oborne not get on with Dacre when he wrote for the Mail? Or fall out?
