Most of the testimonies have been from close Johnson loyalists, people in the room, people in the know. Most have also said they'd still vote for him. The Tory party no longer controls the mob the mob controls them, it's why they can't and won't dump Johnson. They all think he's a douche but saying so loses them their seat/job and they are cast out. They prefer to keep the party together even it's swamped by crazies and could well lead to the fall of British democracy cos to most of them it appears they'd rather see that than open the door for another Lib/Lab win.
Amazing how similar it is to what's going on in the States...

Steve Bannon found guilty of contempt of congress, probably hoping for another pardon at some point

TBF contempt of Congress seems rational. Contempt of America, more so.

TBF contempt of Congress seems rational. Contempt of America, more so. So is contempt of court in a lot of cases. And, in fact, contempt of congress is the same thing, effectively. The judiciary might be a bunch of cunts (in both cases) but the rule of law only functions if people behave as if they’re not.

Just saw a very amusing clip of looser boy bemoaning, at one of his increasingly poorly attended rallies, that he was without doubt the most persecuted person ever in American history. While this was amusing in itself, the pause he built in for the expected cheer was met with total silence, so he ran the line again and got utter silence again.
So while he was wittering about the cults grievances he was getting cheers, but non of em really care about his grievances.

And in relatedness, governor candidate Doug Mastriano "GOP a Christian national movement, jews and atheists won't be rounded up when GOP in power again, but they'll be forced to follow Christian laws" This bloke is so open in his anti semtism yet still stands a very good chance of winning. Taylor Green is saying much the same thing. Looser boys lasting legasey looks like being he gave permission for many to be their worst selves. www.salon.com/2022/07/04/hes-on-a-mission-from-god-pennsylvania-candidate-doug-mastrianos-with-the-world/

I'm not sure if it's depressing or amusing how easy the far right fall for nonsense stories like the deep fake one. I mean I know intelligence is often lacking in the right (it's kind of a prerequisite), but it's like they are just a sponge waiting to soak up what ever idiotic nonsense is put out next.

Nancy's ace, she sends the far extreme right into fits of petulant rage.

I think she might be pure performance art at this point. She may be all troll and no substance, a centrist (and more powerful) Brendan ONeill or Boris Johnson or Liz Truss, who is better at riling her opponents.

tbf the right in the US live in perpetual outrage and victimhood, so its doesn't take much to rile em up further. Though seeing the likes of UJ, mids and so on, the British far right is taking on many of same aspects.

Yeah, but bad as they are, the rights slender offerings makes em look like towering statesmen by comparison.
