Ed Davey is a cunt.
If not done already, I propose an emergency cunting in his case.
He was the postal minister in office when the scandal first blew up in 2010-12. He spoke to Alan Bates but took no action and refused to speak with him again. Davey was fobbed off by the PO when he enquired if they were investigating thoroughly. He believed them despite his own constituents telling him the opposite.
This man has called for 31 other politicians to resign. Now it is his turn to do so but so far he has batted the idea away. Hypocrite. This man is leader of the Liberal Democrats in an election year, calling for us to trust him and vote for his rotten party. This man succeeded Jo Swinson who said she would ban Brexit if she got into power and he backed her up in this anti-democratic and illegal objective.
At the same time that Mr Smug holier-than-thou Davey was postal minister his LibDem colleague (and then leader) Vincent Cable was business minister. He too ignored the growing PO scandal. Instead, he separated Royal Mail from the PO and sold it off for a knock-down bargain price to his Tory chums in the city. That has turned out well for the country hasn’t it?
Voters may think (once again after their abysmal performance in the coalition) that the LibDems can’t be trusted. But what about Labour?
Well, Sir Queer Stammer was Director of Public Prosecutions during this whole farce. Shouldn’t he have examined the plight of the poor sub postmasters? Yes of course but he didn’t. He was more concerned about alleged injustices to illegal immigrants.
Fact is this country is ruled by the establishment and has been since 1066. Yep, it’s still Normans v Saxons a millennium later.
The current Tory government did nothing about this issue until the ITV drama was broadcast but the opposition parties are equally guilty of woefully neglecting justice.
The sub postmasters are the backbone of the nation, good honest, decent folk who serve their communities with dedication. They have been massively let down by inept, complacent, pompous cunts like Ed Davey.
Go. Now. You. Cunt

A long overdue cunting is in order for the clown prince of political buffoonery – the man who only a week ago turned up in an overall as a “removal man”, with his usually gummy grin, and has advised 31 people in four years to resign has his fingerprints all over the Hercules Post Office Scandal.
When the postal minister in the Coalition (did he have gum on his arse so he could be posted?), he refused to see a certain Mr. Bates, who spearheaded the campaign to save the reputations (and liberty) of postmasters wrongly convicted of wrong-doing, thanks to a broken computer system) – not just once but several times saying he didn’t see what good a meeting would do.
Far too busy, no doubt, thinking about the pranks and gimmicks he would get up to when he was party leader – or even P.M – he has never undervalued his own limited talent.
Yesterday, in a new low – even by his low standards, he failed to appear at PMQs, though he was scheduled to ask a question. Has this cowardly cunt no sense of pride or decency?:

And on a slightly different tangent, there’s this from Ron Knee
Weaselling Politicians
I’ve really had it with weaselling politicians and their weasel words. I’m sick of their equivocation and mendacity, their dissembling attempts to avoid making a commitment, give a direct answer to a question, or bring themselves to admit it when they’ve cocked up.
We see and hear them at it every day, them and their ‘it’s a complicated situation, we’ll have to wait and see’ line. When you hear some cunt say something like ‘I want to talk about the issues of real concern to the British people’ on ‘Question Time’, you can take it for granted that they’re squirming to avoid addressing a hot potato topic such as immigration or Islamic fundamentalism.
Be aware too politicians using vague generalisations to fudge an issue; use of terminology such as ‘lessons will be learned’, ‘we’ll take it on board’, and ‘let me be very clear’ are, to my mind, sure fire indicators that a politician is trying to take the heat out of a situation and kick the can down the road.
And if you hear some cunt using such Blairisms as ‘having a conversation with the British people’ about some issue or other, you can take it for granted that it’s just a crude attempt to make the public think that they’ll have a voice, some input, when the decision on whatever will have already been taken.
Our American cousins are lumbered with expert weaslers. ‘I’ll take that under advisement’ (translation; ‘I’m not answering so fuck off’). Then you’ve got ‘ma fellow Amurcuns, today I’ve sent our troops in harm’s way’ (‘they’re likely to get their balls blown off’), or ‘the prisoners were taken to Guantanamo and subjected to rigorous interrogation’ (‘we waterboarded the bastards until they ‘fessed up’).
I could cunt for hours on this topic, but the need for brevity prevents this. Let me close therefore with my own favourite example of political weasel wording,namely,
‘I very much regret…’.
‘Will you apologise for your part in the post office scandal Sir Ed?’
‘I very much regret that I was lied to’
Well you could always say sorry, but that would mean admitting some culpability and responsibility on your part for the fiasco, wouldn’t it? Dear me, we couldn’t have that now, could we?
