Hope for the Sub ?

[IT Minion]

At least in the US there is no legal requirements or standards for manned space flight. You need FAA approval to send up any rocket but they don't get a say on the cargo. NASA has acted as a defacto standard but Blue Origin are launching above the Karman line without any NASA checks.

Cars are regulated, it's entirely legal to build and drive a car you designed from scratch. You just need to get it inspected and make sure it conforms to the various rules.

The sub operator will be sued into extinction, and that's the proper way of dealing with this sort of billionaire tourism racket when it goes wrong. The next people to try to do something similar will need to get the sub tested to get any insurance cover. And so the invisible hand of the market adjusts after the horse has left the stable and catastrophically imploded.

Piffle

At first, I thought you might be referencing de Piffle's second column for the Wail.

Lefties sneer. But those brave souls on the submarine died in a cause - pushing out the frontiers of human knowledge.

Never really having read much from him before, I hadn't realised what an appalling writer he is. Turgid, incoherent and tone deaf are some of the nicer adjectives I would use to describe his first two articles. I thought he was meant to be good at this.

I'm reading this while my next door neighbour's dog sounds like he's got something stuck, and is trying to cough it up.
The sound of which reminds me very much of the noises Bozo makes, as part of his "loveable and dishevelled " act.

He's also wrong, this was a tourist trip, no pushing the boundaries of human knowledge involved.

No. Sacked from all previous employment. He really is shít.

That's a lie though isn't it. Cameron head hunted him to be part of his cabinet so he resigned from his post as editor of the spectator.

Possibly? I'm not entirely sure. It's good that you have highlighted the fact the mop-haired moron has had many jobs and that it's a task finding the ones that he hasn't been sacked from. Good for you.
Perhaps Boris is not the abject failure people make him out to be. He's an incomplete failure on a grand scale. May he have many more sackings, I say.

You certainly don't. Feel free to edit it to 'correct' the article.

But I til then here's an interview with Andrew Neil explaining why he fired Boris.

This tells a different story but does highlight how everything you read is open to question in the age of the internet.
Neil and Jonhstone never did see eye to eye reflected in Johnstone refusing to be interviewed by him later on down the line.

It's irrelevant. Boris is a liar and he's been sacked from multiple jobs - is more the point.

Scum.
