Gavin Williamson: 'Go away, shut up and invade africa!'. While this obviously part of some smear job on pike, it's probably true as well, judging by his other statements/generally being a tory. This is the sort of stuff they all say behind closed doors i'm sure - the smear is to break the usual omerta. https://www.rt.com/uk/458424-williamson-may-health-invasions/ "However, growing frustration over Williamson’s standing wasn’t restricted to his alleged attacks on May’s health. At one point, he suggested that the embattled prime minister should send Royal Navy ships to the contested waters of the South China Sea. When Downing Street rejected the call, fearing that it could start a military confrontation, Williamson allegedly scrawled “f**k the prime minister” on the relevant paperwork, which was reported back to May’s office. The Sunday Times has also quoted a NSC document showing that Williamson was also determined to deploy British troops to Africa. According to the paper, he wanted military chiefs to present plans for intervention in at least five African states, including Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt. Williamson later hit back and rejected the claims, directly accusing May of running a “smear” campaign against him. “Of course no one has ever suggested it. Classic PM / Sedwill smear because they don't have any evidence,” he told SkyNews, referring to the cabinet secretary and head of the civil service." |
