Don't forget there's still a report that Bodgit is trying to kick into to long grass or his personal shredder regarding Russian influence in elections and maybe referendums.

The P&O chap Hebblethwaite brazenly admitted to breaking employment laws because he and his cronies saw law breaking, deception and lies happening daily in the HoP thanks to this corrupt Government. Schnapps is calling for Hebblethwaite* (must be Lancastrian with a name like that) on one hand to resign whilst knowing Bodgit is probably looking to offer him a knighthood for services to the Maritime Industry (and the Arab owners who will help their government buy more weapons from us) if only to piss off the likes of John Prescott.

*The Hebble is a brook in Halifax (yes it's in Yorkshire) that provided the water for many an engineering and textile mill on its run down the valley to join the River Calder including the giant John Crossley & Sons carpets mills that employed around 6000 folk and change at its peak (including me for a few years) oh and don't forget Mackintosh's. I've never quite worked out how they removed all the lanolin, wool and dye residues from the water that Crossley's (and others) poured into it if they extracted water from the brook (in the days before piped and treated water from the reservoirs up on the moors took over) when they made their chocolates and toffees but I was nearly offered a job by them too when I left school. (Nestlé these days). I've never quite took to walnut whips for some reason.

There was a Hebble Bus Company in my youth that ran services to far flung exotic places like Bradford and Burnley. If we ever get drawn against the mighty Shaymen in a Cup match I'll gladly weave some of the history of Halifax into the thread.

Thwaites is a Lancashire brewery that I'm well on my way to downing 6000 of it's pints, surely. hic. I'll admit I've lost count as other breweries keep getting in the way.

Hence I'd be happily convinced he's Lancastrian and happy to be proved otherwise, but ....... apparently it's a Cumbrian name - well I was close. Still the wrong side of the Pennines

Dunno whether he is a Lancastrian or not but he certainly looks like a poster boy for Tory Fat Cats.
