The DUP thread

Isn't stopping Jim Allister from having a pop about Michelle over it and even wheeling out the Bobby Storey funeral again.

General rule of thumb, if you're annoying that clown you're doing something right lol.

I see Arlene and Michelle have been publicly found to have something in common ie a willingness to destroy any records that might show how inept they were in power.

They're a pair of c***ts, on the same level as Boris.

My understanding is that the ministers didn't wipe anything. They handed back the phones when they were no longer service as ministers.
Civil servants then reset them to factory settings.
I can see why they'd do this, but I also beleive that if there was official communications done via Whatsapp or other means then those records should have been retained.
Sounds like a break down in process again.

Yeah, heard Naomi Long on about it this morning and that seems to be the case. Don't think this sits at the door of Arlene or Michelle. Civil service are responsible for this.

Not their fault but the facts never get in the way of a good headline. Bad press that phones where wiped and that's probably all most people will hear.

Would we really want to read Snarlene's (alledged) flirty texts with her chauffeur?

During Covid, politicians relied heavily on WhatsApp for communications and policy agreements.

Covid as we know now, was a very difficult time for politicians. There was no correct way to handle how it unfolded.

But one of the legacies of it all seems to be that politicians were able to dream up and unfurl measures to make unusual profits for friends and influencers.

And as a result, enquiries are being held to work out just how much of this was by accident and how much of it was on purpose.

As the paper trail for the conversations that allowed this all to happen was heavily undertaken on WhatsApp, politicians across the world are scrambling to erase all messages from that period.

This is of course immoral behaviour.

In NI the big two, who never agree on anything, have decided to throw the civil service under the bus for doing this without their knowledge. Which is of course horse shit and the real reason is has happened is because the civil servants in question were bullied and likely bribed into taking it on the chin.

This approach allows the blinkered supporters of each party to believe that the behaviour of their leaders is different to that of the crooked Boris Johnson. And they will lap it up.

[Armagh18]

Where'd you pull that out of wobbler?

[Milltown Row2]

Bullied and bribed lol.. plenty of facts in most of your post, but stretching here..

Can phone information be recalled via the 'cloud' or some other technique?
