Two amusing things: apparently, Boris called Mr Pincher (before appointing him) 'Pincher by name, pincher by nature' - and rumout has it that he is known as 'Arse' Pincher.

So Pincher is aptly named? for bad and even worse..?
and is he an "Arse" too?

Why would US media cover some unimportant scandal in a 3rd rate backwards meaningless country.

To distract the sheeple from what's really going on.

tbf it's not like Boris himself has resigned. Two underlings of his handed in transparently self-interested resignations and were immediately replaced.
Although yes, given how the MSM loves to sling mud at anyone who doesn't fit their Globo-Borg worldview (see: critical coverage of senile Trump vs neutral coverage of senile Biden) it is surprising they haven't leapt on the chance to attack Johnson.

Where as much like Johnny Knoxville. You never turn down an opportunity to attack a Johnson.

I already posted that info; see above for my actual post in this same thread.

Why would they spend all day talking about a mere 7 extra gun deaths?

It's a lot more than 'two underlings'.

Especially in the light of
this information...
Gun violence spiked over Fourth of July weekend, with shootings reported in nearly every U.S. state that killed a total of at least 220 people and wounded close to 570 others, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The database, which collects information about fatalities and injuries linked to incidents involving discharged firearms, updated its records early Tuesday. Published tallies show the number of weekend shootings was almost equal to the number of resulting injuries, with well over 500 instances of shootings documented nationwide between Friday and Monday. There were only five states where one or more shootings were not reported in that time frame.
Of all gun violence incidents accounted for during the holiday weekend, at least 11 were classified as mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive. Any situation where four or more people, excluding the shooter, are killed or wounded by gunshots is considered a mass shooting.

Psssttt… You know I love you man, and this response was just an attempt to Troll JP4 and BTR.
Don’t tell anyone. BTR didn’t fall for it, I’m kinda disappointed.

in April the firm asked voters what word summed up the prime minister and "that most common word was liar and I don't think this is going to change views of that."

Yes, this is another trait of a small minded Troll.
Say you were merely JOKING or that you attempted to cause a reaction. As I already said, jimmie-boi has LOUSY and STINKY Jokes.
Two strikes on ONE pitch, jimmie-boi.
And jimmie-boi must have taken the ENTIRE July 4 long weekend OFF. And he is OFF his Rocker, too. THAT joke is WAY funnier than any given to us by jimmie-boi.

Why would his comment troll me? He's right, 'mass shooting in America' is not headline-worthy.

What was it about… how it’s terribly designed? how when you try to ask for directions you can;t understand what the fuckin’ locals are saying?
Visitor: <Addressing local Logan employee> “I’m in Terminal A right? but think I need to get to Terminal E? Can you help?”
Local: <Looking at proffered ticket.>
“Hmmmm… You cahn’t git from hair to thay’re. You might as well just got git a bare.”
I’ll share a pint with you if you come through and the timing works.

1) Cause your from the UK no this is about the UK.
2) Cause you’re dopey and overly proud of yourself and where your from.
You are my secondary target anyway… my primary target fell for it hook-link-and-sinker… don’t tell him.
