Tracker Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It's nice to see some new names and hopefully some new ideas more in keeping with what the sane majority of normal citizens want and expect from their government, but I do have to wonder who in their right mind in the government dreams up these ministry titles to be shadowed. It has a distinct Ministry of Silly Walks feel to it in many places.

Birdbrain Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 That list reads like another nailed on Conservative Government to me ... You missed off the biggest joke ... Naz Shah , Shadow minister for community cohesion ... A lady suspended over anti-Semitism and one who would like underage girls raped by Pakistani/Muslim to shut up ... If anyone hoped for different than the last lot smashed at the election they better think again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose some positions are historically linked but one which has always amused me is "Minister without Portfolio" giving them a cabinet position and salary, but no specific job or responsibilities! Ever heard of Amanda Milling? Nope, neither had i but she is our current one! :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
