@Tom_Nicholas I thought that about him when he was Energy sec. Like, starting massive offshore wind projects etc. Someone who wants to actually do stuff as opposed to being more interested in the post-politics lobby job.
@thetimes it would be such a shame if people were prevented from joining the special war crimes regiment simply because of investigations into the murder of civilians
@flying_rodent I used to have a manager at a different job who I "disagreed" with about things. When I made a good point about something, he would go quiet for 10 mins then suddenly say "see! Look at this!!" And he'd have googled a Mail article or some shit. Just no point talking with him.
@BBCBreaking Why even involve ourselves? Just to please the mad warmonger Trump and his genocidal pals? To support one murderous dictatorship over another just to let the oil flow? When the rich fight their wars, it's the working man who suffers.
@BBCLondonNews Being a politician is the easiest job ever. Even when you're hated because you're shit at your job you get given a peerage and a lobby job.
@BBCPolitics The government has that power right now yet they are happy with them pouring sewage into our rivers, leaky infrastructure everywhere, and bills going up because half of them are ex-lobbyists for these rip-off companies.
@BBCNews The real party of the people... If by "people" you mean corrupt millionaires and the rubes they've scammed into being their balaclava footsoldiers.
