Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

It's unbelievably hypocritical though, and one of the most clear cut examples of 'one rule for them and one rule for the rest of us' you will ever come across.

He won't resign

When I look at Labour's past policies and Starmer I still might have to hold my nose and still vote for Boris next GE

However JamesWales is spot on with the above

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

The two most senior political figures in Britain have just been fined by the law for breaking their own rules. They even lied about it ever happening.

The fact neither Sunak and Johnson are likely to resign shows us just how corrupted our integrity-free politics has become.

How can we hold Putin to account for his lies when Johnson is a liar.

One Invades Ukraine and commits genocide the other had some cheese and wine after work, yeah exactly the same :hehe:

Have politicians previously resigned for breaking laws like speeding, I would say more serious but still trivial unless completely recklessly and killing people?

Anyway that's the last comment, lock him up whatever, just don't put it on every news bulletin for the next month!!!

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

It depends on the law, it was a stupid one in the first place that 90% of people ignored, you can't murder someone and say well Boris broke the law so I can? if you do you'll have to face the justice system and go to jail for life, while he pays his 50p or whatever the fine is?

I don't agree with the 90% I obeyed the rules 100% as my wife has suppressed immune system.We did not see the kids or grankids for ages.The lying toads should resign.

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

Its only a few posts in and it shows as a country we are doomed and get what we deserve.

We may as well give up.

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

Storm in a tea cup, I would bet 90% of people broke the rules in one way or another, labour politicians, police officers, nurses, Cardiff City players and supporters the lot.

No one should resign for having cheese and wine with staff they've been working with all day after work hours.

I understand people don't like him or Drakeford, but this is overplayed nonsense, it's so boring!

I can't watch the news for another week watching Kuenssberg and Peston creaming with excitement at someone having eaten a sausage roll :shrug:

Storm in a tea cup my arse. The man don't give a fk about the rest of us.
It's not just breaking the law though is it. Its lying about it in parliament aswell.
They should both go but the trouble could be trying to find a successor who also hasn't been fined for breaching the same rules.

Do you have any evidence that 90% of people broke that law?

Of course 90% didnt ignore it.

So you’re going to vote for a convicted liar because of Labour’s past policies?

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

Should he/they resign? Yes I think so. Although that should have happened before.

Will they? Almost certainly not. The timing helps in that respect, with parliament not sitting etc - no doubt thats one for conspiracy theorists, not without reason if I'm honest.

Do I care? Not enormously. Partly due to the nature of it, and partly because in practice i don't think the parties/gatherings were a risk to public health and this was the epicentre of decision making. Also, I don't mind a fixed penalty notice. It's not the crime of the century, although I fully appreciate the people involved amplify any indiscretion. For me though, Covid, lockdowns, WFH and the rest have decimated our society and I think it all should have been challenged a little more.

It's unbelievably hypocritical though, and one of the most clear cut examples of 'one rule for them and one rule for the rest of us' you will ever come across.

He should resign, or offer the mother of apologies, including a strong apology for the extent of the lockdown.

When the majority of these parties (and can we please now see an end to all of that bollox about them not being parties please) were held, there was either no vaccine or hardly anyone had been vaccinated, so your comments about the parties not being a risk to public health are being made in hindsight and in circumstances that did not exist at the time - Johnson and the rest of them should be judged by the standards that applied at the time.

Don't get ahead of yourself Bob, he has only been served a a notice. He will only be convicted if he fails to successfully challenge it in a court of law which is his right.

The passage of time seems to make his apologists most comfortable. I was one of only 9 others who attended my Father in Law's funeral with no wake because it was illegal whilst this gang were gathered around the Cabinet table singing Happy Birthday and lecturing others on what to do and why.

Once you accept that politicians no longer have to act with decency and honour (and many have been forced from office for far less until this recent crew took over) then you get what you deserve!

If they were that a risk to public health, surely the public protection officers and health officials and advisors would have said so ?

In theory, the top table of government could have died by having this gathering…….. hmmmmmm

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

So whats the excuse.? I didnt think I was at a party and when I said I wasnt at a party firmly believed i wasnt at a party quickly diverting to the Ukraine crisis is my bet.

I wonder if Rishi will pull the idiot card as well.

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

The word 'party' is a bit of a distraction really. Certain gatherings we're illegal regardless of whether they could be categorised as parties.

This is not a defence of Boris Johnston but he is not a convicted liar.

A fine is not a conviction. As I undertand it he will only be guilty of a criminal offence if he appeals against the fine but is found guilty by the magistrates court.

It still doesn't look good though.
