[Closed] Chris! (failing) Grayling! to head UK Intelligence Committee...

The lunatics have really taken over the asylum.

Too good not to share

Appointing the absolute stupidist MPs to positions of power because they supported brexit or Johnson's leadership bid goes to show how screwed we are, Johnson's 80 seat majority means he can do whatever he likes

My comment from coronavirus thread...
If that story is true, wtf does Grayling have on johnson?
Grayling has proved his incompetence and ineptitude in every gov post he held; being
shoe-horned onto the Intelligence and Security Committee is bad enough but being mooted to chair it??
Kimbers - your comment from over there >>> about loyalty over ability is right on the money but I still ask....what does grayling have on johnson?

I imagine he’s been parachuted in to deal with the publication of the long overdue Russian report so having a pet monkey on a stick will work out perfectly for Johnson and his paymasters, he’ll be gone in 6 months once he’s whitewashed any evidence of collusion.

When you say “gone”, to you mean rewarded with another role?

In a few months with covid-19 rampant, bog roll supplies completely exhausted he could be re-purposed as johnson's arse wipe.

This is my second wtf moment of the morning - I’d just learned Nadine dorries is health sec. 🤭😷

Hancock's the secretary, ND is one of his ministers

Thank you!

You couldn’t make this stuff up eh - I wonder if Demonic suggested him for the job?!

One can only imagine this appointment has lowered the average intelligence in the room considerably. I lol'd. Nothing surprises or even holds any horror any more.

I'm sure he's the perfect representative of 'UK intelligence' in general, though.

Brilliant news.

A man of his talents will have the Russian report on line and unredacted within minutes. He will press publish instead of delete.

It's pretty obvious really. He's blatantly incompetent, just the sort of useless MP who can be trusted not to hold up this government and the intelligence services to any sort of meaningful scrutiny. He's finally found a niche where he's useful to the Tories.

Are you referring to Failing or Boris?

Only in the UK, where incompetence is rewarded and being thick as pig excrement is seen as a badge of honour.

The Guardian's John Crace on Grayling last year:

'If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. There will never be another Failing Grayling. At least one seriously hopes not. He is the failure’s failure. A parliamentary museum piece who has yet to find a job he can’t do badly. No other minister has wasted quite so much money while justice and transport secretary.

At the latest count he has cost the country £3bn in the past five years. That means we could have paid him £1bn to stay at home, doing nothing but watch TV and mowing the lawn, and still have been £2bn better off. Just by diligently turning up to work each day, Grayling has prevented two hospitals from being built.'
