Boris's New education minister has One Fingered Message for British Public

Guess I should be surprised given she is the new education minister but little the Tories do these days surprises me anymore , education minister Andrea Jenkyns responds to crowds outside Downing Street with a very un-education minister like statement.


And the same to you you big Daffodil.


Disdain for the public is something we've become accustomed to after over 10 years of Tory rule but flipping them off on your first day in the job really isn't a good look.

And she resigns in...1 day? 2 days?

But thanks for showing us what you really think,and that you are in the wrong job.

What an utterly American gesture.

I expected the two finger british bow finger salute.

I can't see the "big Daffodill" being part of the goverment for much longer after that gesture? With that and Richi (whos more crooked than Boris) being in the running for leader, it's like the Tories are self-destructing?

What was the reason behind it ?

Fishy Rishi is at least as bad as the daffodil IMO-we know that his website which he launched yesterday called "ready for Rishi" was designed,built,set up and ready to roll in January this year-so for the last few months the guy has been publicly supporting Boris-while plannin his own leadership bid in private!

The Independent first revealed the former chancellor’s leadership ambitions in January when we reported that Mr Sunak had built a draft version of a campaign website, taking inspiration from his weekly No 11 newsletter, and developed a marketing strategy.
Sources told The Independent’s Anna Isaac at the time that “there’s no question that Rishi and his team have got everything in place.” They noted that there is a clear communications plan, and that a copy for a website had been drafted and was ready to set live.

TBH... Our Canadian politicians do this to us all the time.... Just behind our backs...

At least she is "in you face" about it...

I think it was because the crowd don't have a high regard for politicians (and who can blame them) and were making their feelings heard , something we are entitled to do in a free democracy.

Like the rest of the overpaid Muppets in Parliament she is a public servant and should act like one.

a reply to: gortex

Exactly and honestly shows the attitude of the entitled Tory party members toward the greater British Public and how they will do what they want and screw the rest of us like always.

Typical BUT in her defence she is more honest than most to have actually shown her attitude toward the British public (even if they were a booing crowd and she knows her job is a short term one while Boris rushes through whatever damage he can do to our country in the time he has left).

If I was "in you face" about it with my boss I'd be looking for a new job next day , the people she was gesturing to pay her salary.

I don't care what they say about us behind our backs because we say worse about them behind their backs what I do mind is when they disrespect the people they are elected to serve.

a reply to: gortex

Good catch. She’s just displaying what most of us already thought what they really think of us. At least she’s honest that makes a change.

“After receiving huge amounts of abuse from some of the people who were there over the years, and I have also had seven death threats over the last four years. Two of which have been in recent weeks and are currently being investigated by police, I had reached the end of my tether.

“I responded and stood up for myself. Just why should anyone have to put up with this sort of treatment. I should have shown more composure but am only human.”

Thus has the British political establishment fallen to corruption.

There always was but at least in the past they cared about how the public viewed them.

Only a party so conceited as to believe they can RIG or FIX an election would show such disregard for the opinion of the public OR indeed betray the public in so very many ways as this party has since it came to power under the Condem Coalition.

Meanwhile the Labour Party is no better.

British socialism and the British labour party was never communism (that is actually another party that no one ever votes for bar a few misguided idealists), it was socialism but watered down so as NOT to destroy our nation whilst at the same time ensuring that our people were given right's, housing, education, medical care, old age care and pensions.

Labour was flavoured by it's own interpretation of Marxism love or hate him and so only VITAL industry's were nationalised, it was in fact such a successful model after the war that a great many other western European states followed suit.

But then the Tory's under Thatcher then Major (Despite his sell off of the railways Major was mostly a decent bloke), then the NEW Labour Blairites (he was actually a Thatcher fan and many of us believe he and his clique hijacked and stole the labour party - New Labour (AKA the Blairite's) was not modernisation of the Labour Party but in fact it was a completely different party with completely different intentions - and then back to the Tory's at first under the Condem Coalition and finally the Tory's again under first Cameron then May and then of course Johnson and next who knows what creep they are going to foist onto the country to push there own vile agenda, everything was sold off.

Our industry's had there protections taken away, subsidies from the government that were paid to private firms (to help them through tough economic periods) that had large British workforces were stopped, essential industry's such as WATER, GAS (The coal industry was shut down under Thatcher), ELECTRICITY, (Essential in times of national danger) British Telecom were sold off THEN the Railways, then under New Labour our Higher Education system was affectively PRIVATISED and our Hospitals were also affectively privatized through the back door, Government was weakened in order to prevent a NEW REAL LABOUR (Remember how new Labour took them to court and forced the breakaway traditionalist labour members to stop using the name) government from reversing there right wing actions.

Then the Tory's got back in and they attacked the state pension system, privatised it more or less and pushed the age at which people can claim state pension up so that the poorest remain effectively slaves into old age and the hedge funds whose wealth does not benefit our country but only the elite that have shares in them get rich off the people that pay them there money to buy there private pension schemes which have been FORCED by the Tory's onto the British public so as to ensure there friends in the wealthy club get richer as they strip mine our country for there own greed.

Then of course our nationally essential and national security essential industry's sold to US hedge fund's, the Chinese before we fell out with them etc.

There was a time the Tory's were patriot's and no matter how much you hated them at least they cared about our nation but no longer, they are a party of traitors and NEW Labour is no better.


The Tory's also did not want children being born in our Country so they cut child support and when we came out of the EU they went to India to invite there skilled young people to come and take our jobs, they NEVER invested in educating our own children to fill those job's but instead.

Basically they do NOT care about the British people, they do not have any true Allegiance to us or our nation and sadly neither does Labour any longer with New Labour being really just peas in a pod with the left wing side of the Tory party, so much so that moderate Tory's often defect to Labour and vice versa.

It really is a sad state of affairs.

And as each successive decade seems to have been the result of the previous decades governments policy's and decisions well then after the fiasco of the current Tory's wrecking our nation the next decade will be grim indeed.

Greed has done this, greed for power, greed for wealth and greed for control over you and me.
