Kier Starmer

[Paigntonian]

What on earth is he thinking? He says if he receives a FPN he'll resign. Farewell then his 'vision' for Britain. But if he is not served with a FPN he'll carry on. So how does this ridiculous stunt further Labour prospects?

What sort of narcissist issues a challenge to a duel when they have no weapons ... or discernable abilities, that suggest they have either the stomach for a fight or the courage(bottle to you) to face a danger in the first place? I wonder what his mush looks like right now. He looks distraught when he is deliriously happy. He must be a picture of abject pity.

Are you describing Starmer or Johnson?
Johnson issues challenges whilst at the despatch box regularly, but runs from Parliament when challenged or gets his lackeys to resign for his law-breaking and indiscretions.

^Honesty? Splutter!

[naomi24]

^that to atheist.

[DonkeyHoaty]

naomi24,
Was your spluttering at the wild inference that Johnson is honest?

I too would splutter at such an assumption of him.

Naomi; you're apparently becoming less inclined to address points sensibly. Spluttering at me isn't a reasoned response.

[Paigntonian]

Silly me. Thought we were talking about Starmer.

Your words, I won’t argue.

Paigntonian, you can surely do better than that. Couldn't you make a rational point, ratter than simply doing a Naomian 'splutter'?

Is the threat to resign and daring the Durham Constabulary to issue him and his accomplices with a fine a deliberate, though indirect, attempt at interfering with the judicial process? That is serious. Never mind tough on cake, tough on the causes of cake, it could be considered as a criminal offence. Is this ex barrister and DPP in anyway actually familiar with the laws of the land. He has got Falconer fighting his corner I am told. Bliar's ex legal bully boy. Cesspit of hypocrites.

Togo,
Pressed by the Tories he has been avoiding questions all weekend.
Now that he has, you’re making all sorts of wild accusations that have no basis or credence.
Pop along to your nearest McDonalds, they have an abundance of straws in several dispensers in there for you.
As for Falconer, I’d hazard a guess that the former DPP might have enough wherewithal and nouse to tackle a FPN on his own merit.
If unable and he’s deemed to have fallen foul of the law he’ll do the honourable thing and resign.
You’re having your cake and eating it yet now inexplicably you don’t like the cake?
Make up your mind and stop dithering.

Will some people ever learn to spell his name right I wonder.
It isn't THAT hard surely.

You mean like the laws of the land that the Johnson administration implemented yet conveniently forgot about on at least 12 separate occasions?
Care to revise the hypocrisy accusation?

"Is the threat to resign and daring the Durham Constabulary to issue him and his accomplices with a fine a deliberate, though indirect, attempt at interfering with the judicial process?"

If he had said he wouldn't resign if given a FPN, he would have been criticized. If he had stayed silent, he would have been criticized.

What should he have said then?

[Togo]

I've got a new stalker ... :))

[THECORBYLOON]

Why would Starmer have said that...?

[dannyk13]

He says that he will resign if he receives a FPN knowing full well that Durham Police do not issue retrospective FPNs.He has not said that he will resign if Durham Police decide that he has committed an offence.

Is that your standard response when your argument is eviscerated and you have no credible response to reasoned argument? Please tell me you can do better?

[naomi24]

Maybe there's a method in his madness. Maybe he knows that whatever happens he's on his way out and so will take the opportunity to jump before his pushed. With his fans extolling the qualities of his dubious honesty and integrity, to walk away under the pretence of 'doing the right thing' must be an attractive option. Labour, I fear, is pretty much dead - and has been for a very long time.

[Ellipsis]

Look at it this way: as a lawyer, he's looked into his own case, thinks he has an excellent good chance of winning it, and taken himself on as a client on a "No win, no job" basis.

[Ellipsis]

excellent, good, take your pick ...
