Nonsense you vote for what benefits you or your family the most like everyone else.

Rubbish! Not everyone is as selfish and venal as you and thank goodness for that.

might be difficult for a rampant Tory to understand, but not everyone acts purely on self interest.

Old news not still on about that are we, it's been done to death he's gone, Rishi is quietly getting on doing a much better job, without all the headlines.

Boris is old news move on!

More than half the UK population broke one rule or another, they were pathetic anyway.

‘Boris is old news, move on’
Haven’t had the radio on or read the news today then.

The rules were stupid, you broke them for a good reason, I don't blame you, common sense had to prevail.

The rules were set over harsh to stop people having full on parties, with drugs, getting pissed, getting up to all sorts, everyone knew there would be the odd rule broken, five-mile restriction in Wales as the worst of the lot, most people sensibly completely ignored it.

It's the same as 20mph only about 5% of people do it when not going through a speed camera.

You almost hit the car in front to go through, then everyone accelerates away to the next one.

Beer Korma Starmer did the same, no one really cares, they were work do's where wine or beer was added, move on, that's why I don't watch the news anymore.

Loads of Boris supporters are coming up with the same argument. Calling those that judge bent and the system broke is the classic Trumpian defence. The commons vote on this will be interesting and will starkly illustrate the huge rents within the Tory party as the sizable Boris loving minority will vote in his favour.How can such a politically divided party effectively run this country.

When you or I get caught speeding we pay the fine and move on.Unfortunatly when those that make the rules are caught they will be punished even more. This argument is a very poor defence.I hope it's the beginning of the end of populist politics and I've a sneaking feeling most Tory MP's are quietly glad too.

Re: Boris Party gate.....he's as bent as a 7 pound note

How?

Some proof that you would be better voting for Conservative financially but chose not to?

It's probably not true, people vote for whats best for them and their families.

You said your mate is skint and works all the hours under the sun and can't make ends meet, yet you made a fortune on Gamestop or something but didn't help him and give it to him?

Why not if your a true socialist?

There are those who couldn't visit loved ones in the final months of their life who rightly feel like he should be held to account. Sadly the time lapse has had an effect and I think swathes of the wider public do consider it to be old news. Apparently a recent survey concluded that a quarter of Britons think that the pandemic was a hoax. We live in a world of short memories and the only war that's being won is by culture war conspiracy nuts.

I don't have a mate who is skint and works all the hours under the sun and I don't even know what GameStop is let alone having made a fortune over it. You must be confusing me with someone else.

However in response to your sentiment the guy wouldn't even need to be a friend for me to help him out.

I'm sure all of us would do the same.

It was certainly exaggerated to frighten the public into silly rules, they were necessary until the vaccine perhaps, after that they should have been reduced much more quickly, but as you suggest it's easy to say that now in hindsight.
