FactCheck: the Secret Barrister’s Boasting and “Weapons-Grade Pomposity”

FactCheck: the Secret Barrister’s Boasting and “Weapons-Grade Pomposity”

Two days after the London Bridge terror attack, the PM posted a Twitter thread regarding “inaccuracies” being reported about the release of the attacker. The Secret Barrister then proceeded to attract almost 70,000 likes on a tweet claiming Boris has “basically copied and pasted” a blogpost he had made about said attack “and passed it off as his own”. A bold claim, and incredibly presumptive that No. 10 bother to read his output…

The Secret Barrister re-upped the claim today, again claiming his blog post had been “plagiarised by the Prime minister”. Guido can now categorically disprove the Secret Barrister’s claim.

A screenshot (below) passed to Guido evidences that the briefing given to the PM the day after the attack – and upon which the PM’s Twitter thread was based – was completed over 9 hours prior to the Secret Barrister’s blog post.

A Tory source tells Guido:

“Any lawyer worth their salt could have worked out the circumstances that led to Khan’s release. It took someone working on the campaign a couple of hours to read the relevant judgements and legislative changes so the PM could be briefed on what happened.

“It’s testament to the Secret Barrister’s weapons-grade pomposity and self-regard that they think they were the only person capable of piecing it all together and that the PM is an avid reader of their increasingly hysterical blog.”

There is a condition known as “blogger’s narcissism”, wherein you think your idea is original and that no one will have thought of it, forgetting there is little new under the sun. Long experience teaches us that there is every likelihood someone else could and did think of it. In this case, it is bang to rights, m’lud…

Politicians are wrong about what the public want

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics. If our political elite were more than just yes men weighed down by the chains of political correctness, they would see that the people of Britain have had enough.  Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes?  Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon!

Federal Suit Hits Soros for $10 Billion for ‘Political Meddling, Motivated Solely by Malice’

Image
Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
