Boris Is Toast

I fully understand on the one hand how a few drinks after work for folk who’d been in close proximity all day is a relatively trivial matter which had relatively little risk in spreading the disease but these were the folks setting the rules, Borris was on tv at 5 most nights telling folk to follow the rules yet they weren’t following these rules themselves. No great harm done there in the grand scheme of things but when set against the fact that folk couldn’t be with their dying relatives in their final hours the fact that those who devised the rules blatantly ignored the rules it really is quite disgusting.

I’m not convinced it’s a matter to be calling for the PM’s resignation and others over but it is a matter than many should and will judge them for at the ballot box in the future for they have shown themselves to be complete hypocrites.

I just can’t believe there have been so many of these gatherings of people who run the country and it would seem not one of them had thoughts or the guts to say we really shouldn’t be doing this.
Bad enough if no one even thought they were doing wrong, if someone did speak up at the time and was ignored that’s even worse

Of course plenty of folk up and down the country we’re doing likewise, ignoring the rules at times to suit themselves but they weren’t the ones preaching about how necessary it was to follow the rules.
One thing is very evident, those who govern us are unable to lead by example.

I ignored every rule I didn't want to follow. I went to see my girlfriend regularly enough, went to see my parents, only wore a mask under duress, walked (shock horror) on a beach, took my kids to a park. Why? Because I knew the rules were both insane, stupid and we were being lied to.

And I'm sorry, I know Boris is a lying git always has been always will be, but the other politicians wanted even more lockdown, more restrictions, less liberalism and more shutting down of debate and scientific analysis. So for me I'm bloody glad that when the dust settles on this all we will at least be aware never to trust a monotheistic view being overwhelmingly pushed on us.

But it's not so much what rules anyone else would have made, it's about ignoring his own rules.

We'll see what the verdict is on May 5th.

He'll get a mid term hiding on May 5th, as is always the case. The interesting thing will be the next election. Will we still have Boris ?:woot: Will Labour still have slimy Starmer ?:poop: Will Nige stand as an independent ?:love:

What options do we have?

Starmer wanted more lockdowns.
Lib Dems were totally mute

The only person who seemed to want to stand up and talk about it all was Richard Tice.

Fair point.

I mean remember if we want to single out nonsense we had NHS staff doing dancing videos whilst the hospitals were emptied of patients. I'm not knocking them now, it was a silly time. But the idea that a bloke having a cake can dominate the agenda now is just off the scale stupid. There were a lot of rules that were wrong, not enough people called them out for what they were.

Flipping heck some people believe masks were useful! :rolleyes:

As someone said earlier, if he'd said we had a few drinks after work in the office, same people who'd been working all day. That would have ended it.
But he lied, he always lies and keeps lying. That is the problem!
No that wouldn't have been the case. Its politics. Labour and that ghastly Blackford would not have let it rest. And that is why johnson tells find. Because the sanctimonious arses who just play politics. Starmer was in that kitchen drinking and gossiping, a party if ever I saw one.

I agree that this was a horrendous situation, I don't think people should have been in that position at all. I don't think office workers at number 10 having a drink after work (even if we called it a party) equivocates though. I just don't.
My own view is it's about the lies not the parties

Johnson lied to parliament

If he can lie on the "fluff" what about the big stuff including Russian compramat ?

Starmer knows there's little chance of unseating the govt if Boris remains , he and blackdog will be cooking up there commie coalition together

Bojo has probably worked a blinder here.
Give the dogs a bone to chew and get on with the job in hand.
Whatever shite the dogs dish up won't make a blind bit of difference to his governance.
What are their policies going forward?
Prove Boris is a liar?
No sh!t Sherlock.
We know that already.
