Shocking News

[Hymie]

Not that he has resigned – but that Boris actually had such an advisor; what the hell has he been advising Boris for the last 5 years?

You pinched that joke from HIGNFY :-)

Almost as surprising as:
Pavarotti had a ballet teacher
etc

[Hymie]

I did not see it on HIGNFY – it is a serious observation by me; although I see from the BBC link that he only held the position since April last year (must have been a very busy man).

[bookbinder]

Whatever Lord Geidt has been advising Boris about, advice is just advice: Boris can choose to accept or reject it.

[ichkeria]

HIGNFY tweeted something v similar :-)

[ichkeria]

The ethics adviser Lord Geidt
Resigned his position toneidt,
For who can advise
A fellow who lies,
And ethics-wise, gives not a sheidt?

And yes, I pinched that :-)

[Peter Pedant]

seriously ( hem hem, I know this is AB) the re-write of the naughty ministers' code and what to do about them ( nothing)

Lord Geidt lost his ability to initiate inquiries and had to wait ( wait for it) for the prime minister to ask him ! - he did protest and squeal in real time

[Peter Pedant]

Lord Geidt
so he has gone
No one cares

and no I made that one up

[gness]

Thanks, Hymie. You've given lots of us in the pub a good laugh. :-)

"what the hell has he been advising Boris for the last 5 years?"

He only took up the position in April last year. This information is in the link you provided.

[Atheist]

OMG! PP has outed himself as E J Thribb!

[Deskdiary]

You’re in a pub, reading AB out loud and “lots of us” in the pub are laughing?

I call bullsiht.

[gness]

Read slowly, Deskdiary, I know you need to.

You can have a noodle at AB before going into a pub. Relate more of your leader's failings to company and then post a thanks for the laughs when you get home.

Clear, sweetie? You can follow that?

[ToraToraTora]

gawd help us another 5C love in! PMSL!

[ToraToraTora]

gness, you log into AB in the battle cruiser? Bet you are riot to go on the craic with!

[naomi24]

gness, //Relate more of your leader's failings//

He isn't your leader... is he?

[ichkeria]

gness did say she looked before she set off for the pub.

I can't really see what's so odd about looking at AB in the pub though ;-)
If I ever went to the pub I'd be on there :-)

[ToraToraTora]

gness: "Thanks, Hymie. You've given lots of us in the pub a good laugh. :-)" - ich I'd say she was in the pub.

[naomi24]

Does anyone really care where she was - or what she said?

[ichkeria]

They seem to!

[naomi24]

Very strange.
