Let’s all play “Starmer Weasel-Word Bingo”

Monday blog

I imagine we’re all getting the popcorn in as we wait for Starmer to explain how:

• he knew nothing about Mandelson failing the security vetting
• furious he is that nobody told him Mandelson failed the security vetting
• he intends to improve the security vetting process to ensure such a failure never happens again
• etc etc blether blether etc etc

So many clever people have opined about the current scandal, that I would never presume to know more than them. So I just wanted to use this short blog to suggest a few weasel-worded excuses the (IMHO) slimeball, lying PoS Starmer and his sycophantic apologists will come up with.

Vetting process is confidential: One is likely to be that the vetting process is confidential and the department(s) doing the vetting is/are forbidden by confidentiality rules from sharing the details of the vetting with government ministers. It is true that the details of what is discovered during the vetting process is confidential. However, the result of the vetting process – whether the individual being vetted passed or failed – is not confidential and, for such an important position as Ambassador to the USA, should have been communicated to the relevant government ministers – then Foreign Secretary Calamity Lammy and, of course, (IMHO) lying slimeball Starmer.

No minister was told Mandelson had failed: This a good weasel-worded excuse. It may be true that no government minister was directly informed by the department doing the vetting that Mandelson had failed the security vetting. But more probably this information was passed on to people in Lammy’s and Starmer’s offices. Whether they then communicated this to their political masters we’ll never know. But I think we can guess.

There will be much more weasel-wording in Starmer’s ‘explanation’ about what actually happened when he speaks in the Commons on Monday. In fact, maybe we should all play “Starmer Weasel-Word Bingo”? This consists of writing down all the weasel-worded excuses we think Starmer and his apologists are likely to use and then the person who guesses the most weasel-worded excuses correctly wins a prize – a visit to an Arsenal football match with Sir Keir himself, tickets provided by Lord Alibaba.

To cheer us up, here’s another (IMHO) brilliant YouTube AI video:
