Do you want to discuss boring politics? (226 Viewers)

At any other generation in politics this would be umpteenth time Boris Johnson’s political career would have ended for good. However…. Ooo look a flag.

Certainly explains why they all ran to Cummings defence with that ridiculous eye test bullshit.

 

[skybluetony176]

Just a reminder that you do live in the UK not Italy where even they now have the right to look at the state of our countries leaders and shake their heads in disbelief/disgust.

 

[Ian1779]

the nothing to see line doesn't work anymore, not on this

Hope you are right, but look at the sycophants rushing to his defence already.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Unfuckingbelievable!!!!!

My family were right to do what they wanted in lockdown making the rules fit their circumstances

Resign! Where’s grendel defending these charlatans

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

People had to bury their families without friends and families just unbelievable

And that’s not even getting on to saying no parties happened which was a complete and utter bare faced lie

 

[skybluetony176]

Just a reminder that it wasn’t just Boris who lied to parliament

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Born to lead above the law and above criticism. The world is going to hell on a handcart

The party of breaking the law and disorder.

They can, he won't quit but this will drag him down at any election they have with him as leader which hurts the tories more

 

[PVA]

After a brief boost in the polls (because of Ukraine?) they were nosediving again and this will drag them down further still.

'No one cares about parties' though.

Where is Greg Wallace when you need him

 

[PVA]

Here he is!

 

[Grendel]

Here he is!

Perhaps you should put a condom on TV in a sex education lesson - problem is you wouldn’t be the first

 

[David O'Day]

Anyone seen Fabricant's attempted defence of Johnson?

[Philosoraptor]

Just as a secondary piece. No one has asked yet if any have had multiple fines. Not that it really matters, can't see them lasting past midday tomorrow.

Trawling Twitter to find if any political journalists have been summoned to a press conference outside Downing St.

What are you dribbling on about?

 

[Grendel]

What are you dribbling on about?

Sigh

it’s a jokey reference to Jay Rayners mother Claire it’s her claim to fame. Jay is a lefty luvvie despite or because of going to a very expensive boarding school

 

[SBT]

I don’t care if you think Boris must resign, or is just a top lad - it’s outright dangerous for this situation to drag on in a way that stops Parliament from doing its job on Ukraine where needed. Waiting it out to see which way the wind is blowing can’t be an option.

 

[Frostie]

So the latest defence is that he was too thick to understand the rules that he created & imposed on everyone else... Interesting tactic.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Anyone seen Fabricant's attempted defence of Johnson?

Just wow!

 

[PVA]

Oh how silly of me for not knowing the detailed history of an agony aunt from 30 years ago.

This is poor, even for you. Long innings ahead for you trying to deflect from this.

I don’t think anyone got the reference, do you want to have another go?

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I think this is a bigger issue than the fine itself. Didn’t Johnson say in the House that rules hadn’t been broken ? Now, you can potentially wriggle out of that if (you claim) stuff went on without your knowledge…gets a bit trickier if you’ve been fined for breaking those rules yourself !

If this is just a standard fine alone I don’t personally think it’s a resignation/sacking issue. They’ll continue to argue that they believe it was a work gathering…it’s only route left for them

It's again though, they set the bloody rules!

If you don't know the rules you're making yourself, then you're clearly not competent enough to be setting them.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Just wow!

State of that. Maybe cruel but I can’t watch him without laughing

 

[Paul Anthony]

State of that. Maybe cruel but I can’t watch him without laughing

When I first saw that guy, I thought he was meant to be some kind of tory parody, rather than an actual Tory MP......

 

[clint van damme]

Johnson & Sunak both to be fined over breaking lockdown laws.
Surely makes their positions untenable?

BBC News - Johnson and Sunak to be fined over lockdown parties

Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak reject calls to resign over lockdown fines

The PM and chancellor apologise for attending a party in lockdown, but pledge to stay in post.

No mate, apparently we need to forget it because there's a war on.
Any way, speak later, I'm off to take advantage of this amnesty and Rob a bank.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

So now we have Boris
Not my problem
Never happened
Not important
Very unhappy others got it wrong
Didn’t know what the rules were
Did the same as everyone else chose what to do as it suited us personally

Well mate millions did follow the rules they thought at times weren’t sensible

Please just go you selfish arrogant bunch of wankers

 

[Frostie]

Good call, after all that's just "fluff" in the grand scheme of it isn't it.

he does come across as satire

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Just wow!

My wife after her shift ends doesn’t go into the staff room for a drink with her colleagues and at the time idiot Johnson did it they weren’t even allowed to have more than one in the room at a time as they had to take their masks off. She also wouldn’t drink alcohol as she has to drive as most do, why they have wheeled out Fabricant he is a luntatic.

Not really. I just thought some public schools oik only known for master chef and his mother being quoted as a legitimate source for political observations was kind of funny - what is the point of the link
