My point is applying this consistently. It's a fact that Starmer was head of an organisation that (with hindsight) made a huge error.

The same goes for a lot in government. Is it not common to us we phrases such as 'the fish rots from the head down' and 'the person at the top is ultimately responsible' etc?

Will we not be doing that going forward then?

I think a huge stupid fuss was made over it. He shouldn't have said it but then again the reaction was OTT.
Hmmm...

I'm not sure you do get the point or you're deliberately obfuscating the point?

You're comparing the CPS not prosecuting Savile whilst Starmer was top dawg and May being PM whilst the Grenfell tragedy occurred with Johnsons mistakes made during the Covid pandemic.

Come on buddy, you can do it.

We're in agreement that Johnson shouldn't have said it but let's be honest, he feels its a legitimate strategy for deflecting shiit away from him.

You are right though, that's where politics is at the moment. Embarrassing and extremely worrying.
