I think it may have been better if the police had announced their enquiry after Sue Gray had produced her report rather than before,although according to the Guardian, the police raised no objection to the Gray report being published before they complete their investigation.Quote:

Its pathetic. The UK govt is a laughing stock. The Met and Sue Grey have better things to do than investigate these clowns. Did Sue Grey and Cressida Dick get involved with the near 119,000 penalty notices dished out.? No of course not.
What a complete shambles.
The bufoon and his gutless front bench every single one of them backing him are not fit to govern.
What a complete waste of resources. Just hammer them with their penalty notices.
Id like to ask Cressida Dick did her officers present at Downing Street know about these parties/gatherings? If so why didnt they act.Quote:

100% agree with you. I've come to despise the lot of them. I'd like to know the full cost of all these 'investigations'.Quote:

Sky now saying the report may be published in full in a few days.Quote:

I'm fuucked if I know the difference anymore?

Gavin Barwell,Theresa May's former chief of staff said today on twitter
'When MPs report the feedback on the doorstep is inconsistent with the latest polls it is because either
a) they are canvassing in unrepresentative areas with much higher support for their party or
b) they're making it up
There is a subtle hint as to which I believe
I can confirm they are in fact Dick pics. The Met. #NSFW.Quote:

Some MPs are embarrassing themselves now in their desperation to excuse Johnson.
Yeah - I heard that interview. I'm not completely surprised as I'm 'lucky' enough to have him as my local MP. I knew from correspondence that I've had with him that he holds blind support for Johnson. I'm sure his constituents will be thrilled to hear that he thinks they were probably breaking the rules just as Johnson was.Quote:

I wonder what his game is at the moment. Take the criticism, pay any fine forthcoming, coupled with an end to all restrictions, whilst emphasising positives on bigger issues like jobs? :shrug:
It will appeal to a lot of libertarians just like Breixt , his prorogue parliament and other two fingers in the air moments , not sure why were are so fixated if he stays were told by the polls Sir Kier is next PM ??Quote:

Honest question for you, life on mars: Have you ever actually tried to not mention Labour when discussing Tory sleaze/corruption etc on this messageboard?Quote:

Your last post for example exonerates Boris Johnson as his alleged illegal activities and refusal to acknowledge them appeals to "libertarians" and that Labour need to move on as people aren't interested in what's happening. You also say that it doesn't matter if Boris Johnson doesn't resign/is removed as Labour are leading in the polls anyway.
I'm not sure how that makes any sense as that would still mean another 2 years of Boris Johnson as PM, even if Labour win the next GE.
"Labour are becoming very one tracked on this issue and folk will be turned off" is very much toeing with the party line, isn't it?
They are the words of someone who doesn't want there to be any consequences for the Govt. who have frequently broken the rules and laws they've set for the rest of the population during a global pandemic.
Unfortunately for you; the media and, it appears, a large proportion of the general population in the UK think differently to you and want Labour and other parties to keep the pressure on Boris Johnson until he resigns or is removed.
Anyway, the next time there's a scandal involving the Tories (probably sometime tomorrow), see if you can resist bringing Labour into the equation and commenting on the merits of the story itself - not why Labour are doing something wrong or have done something wrong in the past.
His hatred for Labour is deeply personal and visceral. It does not respond to reason. Some say it was to.do with unrequited love.......Quote:

I thought yes that will bring all those Tory dissenters in the Red Wall constituencies back on side.
I watched Newsnight on IPlayer this morning - I’m surprised the Tories let him out to be interviewed after what he said about Grenfell victims a few years ago. He sees himself as some sort of constitutional expert with his talk about the need for an election if Johnson goes - all he was trying to do was frighten red wall MPs into backing the man who “gets all the big decisions right” :hehe:Quote:

Seems to be a tory fan boy thing defending Boris against any and all allegations,
guy on facebook this morning talking about Boris in glowing terms and asking who's the alternative as Tory leader, who knows or cares but he Has to go surely, morally bankrupt self serving liar that he is.
Sums it up its not about anything but self preservation and the ethics and morals of the whole sorry mess can be blamed on underlings, plenty of sackings coming up AGAIN
Another lie told by Humpty Dumpty about the evacuation of animals from Afghanistan.
And i have voted Tory in the past but this has been a sobering and polarising moment,
Tories are doomed if the cling onto the useless bag of shit.
I get the feeling that if and when Bojo gets out and about amongst the general population he will either be laughed at or things may turn nasty.
Boris would say his answers to all these questions was clear, simple straightforward and honestQuote:

Hmmm, I'm sure you're as dubious about that last quote as I am. Still, let's hope the whole party is flushed of its racists soon. Good to see us united on this one 👍Quote:
