John52 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 CurtainRaiser - 2021-11-04 12:40 PM It is being suggested from a unnamed Tory MP that the real motivation for a new standards committee stems from a fear of investigations into lobbying over the award of Covid contracts, and Johnson's loans from a Tory donor for the redecoration of his Downing Street flat and free holidays.... Thats why I think Johnson will try something else I can't believe he went to these lengths to protect anyone other than himself. This is not over >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John52 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 The Express was actually in favour of blocking the suspension: today's front page headline was "After 2 years of hell, I can now clear my name"! Currently their website is making no comment on this, except for having a poll: "Is Boris right to change his mind and call another vote on the suspension of Owen Paterson?"

John52 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Rees Mogg speech as good as says they will be trying another stunt like this to get Johnson off the hook. Rees Mogg just throws us a sop by saying their next scheme to scupper the sleaze inquiry into Johnson won't apply to Patterson. And we are supposed to be placated by that.

Johnson should go too as he's presided over the sh1tshow determined to block their sleaze from public scrutiny. Just 13 Tory MP's had a moral backbone and I was pleased to see the Tory MP for my local town was one of them. My own MP fell in line with the rest of Johnsons puppets.

No chance ! Dave thinks it was a vote about Brexit - and if Patterson voted for Brexit, then he is - and will always be - a WINNER ( in capital letters ). :-D I didn't know much about him so read up a few articles. Turns out he is indeed a pro-Brexiteer and member of the parties fascist branch, the ERG. Used to high living, the family home is a sprawling mansion standing in acres of Shropshire countryside. His wife "worked" for Aintree race course and the Jockey club before taking her life in some woodland by the family home. Turned out she was embroiled in a bitter row over planning development for 300 stables which a council had refused......so she had gone running to Robert Jenrick, another corrupt MP. Birds of a feather as the saying goes. Paterson was getting paid £100k pa from two companies for lobbying. It is nothing less than pure sheer greed that's led to his downfall imo. He won't be the only one with his snout in the trough but the scale of corruption with this government just beggars belief. The same government who deprived the poor by cutting UC, the same government depriving school children of the poor, free school meals........the same government that enriched itself and their chums from showering themselves with taxpayers money. For them it's take everything from the poor to feed Tory greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK the main pressure came from the constituencies, I know that our local MP was told in no uncertain terms her card was marked. Could be. I notice my MP Dehenna Davidson has been quiet these past few days. Normally you cant get her off Facebook. She voted in favour of this corrupt action also. It could backfire on a lot of them in some of these new baby Tory constituency's as I imagine it will be treat like the MP's expenses scandal and the very same people who have now voted Tory went ape sh1t about all that. One can only hope that these new Tory voters will finally see through them and see them for what they are. Self serving corrupt crooks who care no more for the Red wall new voters than they would for dog sh1t on their shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtainRaiser Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 There was quite a Twitter storm last night with people post messages like this: "This is my MP @PaulHowellMP . Two weeks ago he and his fellow Tories voted to release sewage into our rivers. Today they went swimming in it. #ToryCorruption #OwenPaterson Accompanied by a nice little photo of the offender. (nicked off their website!) Your fascist loving MP was included as well Barry. My post got retweeted nearly five hundred times.

CurtainRaiser Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 So just when you think it couldn’t get any sleazier To ensure compliance with Johnsons desire to allow his chum to sidestep justice some Tory MPs were yesterday told “they would lose funding for their constituency” if they failed to toe the line. Interesting to note that one Tory veteran told the FT that "any MP who believed this deserves to have funding removed for being a thick gullible idiot" https://www.ft.com/content/51c93ba3-4a59-4e88-92ed-3e152a896493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
