Oh he’s asking me out now! Lovely! Wait, maybe he’s bad. Who knows. Tum ti tum I’ll give him some numbers of my friends before I go off and vote for removing benefits from poor people…"
Isn’t Boris Johnson a bit at loose ends of late?
These people are supposed to be running the country.
No wonder we’ve ended up where we are.
Wasn’t this similar to the reason why the National Teenage Party was created in the 1960s by Screaming Lord Sutch? Teenagers were supposedly too immature to vote, yet John Profumo was mature enough to be an MP.
You didn’t mention that after news broke that Wragg had shared personal information about colleagues with the scammers; the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy [must type this correctly] Hunt praised him for apologising for his role in the attack and called him ‘courageous’.

They’re too busy looting the country and looking for their next jobs to bother with that.
