    Don't forget as well that the Cabinet Secretary mentioned by the PM had to step down from conducting the inquiry into Christmas "gatherings" in 2020 because he had hosted parties of his own!

    Anyone who is still defending Johnson can only be some sort of forelock tugger who truly believes that the rules should not apply to their "betters" like heads of state and Royalty.

    They broke the rules because they knew they were bullshit

    They broke the rules because they knew the people at the party would not be at risk. (The P.M’s Personal protection would have vetoed it otherwise)

    They broke the rules because they had total contempt for the public.

    I hope that is reciprocated at the ballot box - but it probably won't be.

    There is no way that party ( or any others ) would have taken place without a thorough risk assessment before hand. Clearly the P.M’s advisors, medical staff , bodyguards, thought he and other high ranking government members were ok to attend.

    There was no vaccine at the time either .

    How on earth can you know that? Even if you're right, it's an absolutely terrible look because 99 per cent of the population did not have such risk assessments beforehand, they were just told they could not do it. It's being reported that there were widespread misgivings among many in Downing Street about the party going ahead.

    It still went ahead regardless of misgivings, and the people who had these misgivings kept quiet about it until it was leaked yesterday.

    And your point is? You said there would have been risk assessments carried out, you're only guessing that and, frankly, with this Government under this Prime Minister, I would not be the least bit surprised if there wasn't. Even if there was, it was still a flagrant breaking of the rules which cannot be fobbed off this time as a work meeting - you need to cast your mind back to what it was like in May 2020, bring a bottle parties were not allowed if I remember rightly.

    Sage, at this time, were predicting a reasonable worst-case planning scenario, of 250,000 deaths which was why the public didn’t require to have a risk assessment.

    Those who attended the gathering must have had a risk assessment, based on the modelling. If they didn’t I personally couldn’t see how the party would have been authorised. But that is my take on it, unless they thought the SAGE modelling was questionable?

    My point is this, If those with misgivings about the party had gone to the press then many of the emergency lockdown mandates which were voted in by all political parties would have been invalid.

    This would have had an impact on compliance, at the time. I wonder how many of the public were fined doing the same things ?

    Impossible as it may seem, I think this latest exposure spells the death knell for Boris Johnston as P.M. He should do the honourable thing and fall on his sword before the outcome of the inquiry. He won't of course as it is not in his nature, but unless the inquiry is a total whitewash*, he will get his come-uppance anyway.

    *According to those in the know it seems that the lady heading the inquiry is no mug, so hopefully this won't be the case.

    The blogger strikes again

    "The May 20 party was first alluded to in a blog by the Prime Minister's former advisor Dominic Cummings on Friday."

    I have suggested before the Labour should employ him to ensure they get a romping 80 seat victory the lad has form into tapping into the countries thinking .

    A risk assessment is obtainable via Freedom of Information. Plus, if there had been one, d'ya not think that our great and esteemed leaders would want to keep it quiet? I doubt that lot had the fortitude to fake one, pre-date it, scrunch it up, stand on it and suck on the edges a bit. They're liars, but even sh*t at that.
