Re: Coronavirus crisis has exposed Boris Johnson’s cabinet - weakest in living memory Archived Message Posted by Mark Doran on April 28, 2020, 3:20 pm, in reply to "Re: Coronavirus crisis has exposed Boris Johnson’s cabinet - weakest in living memory" > Anyone who thinks Gove even "possibly" has "intellectual heft" lives in another world. > -- The slithy Gove is a fascinatingly foul example: if he's now the Alfred Rosenberg of the Tory party, it really shouldn't surprise us... As in so many cases, we have the BBC to spank for his rise, since it allowed him unfortunate quantities of oxygen by way of whichever of those late-night gassy botches he was always on ('Newsnight Review'? 'The Late Show'? 'Late Review'? 'The Review Show'? 'Germaine Greer Tonight'? 'The Greer Show'? 'A Scottish Woman Talks Through Her Nostrils'? 'Late Night Greer'? 'Sarah Dunant Still Can't Control A Discussion'? 'Greer Review'? 'Tom Paulin Hates Everything'? 'Can You Ever Have Too Much Greer'? They were all crap...) [P.S. These shows made the worthless Allison Pearson a household germ the same way...] Gove was scraped up by the Murdoch 'Times' in 1996 -- which gave him ten whole years to practice producing the elite-serving 2006 beating he tried to give Ken Loach over the contents, intentions and consequences of a film shown at Cannes which ... he'd not actually seen...
