Will he finally resign and take Rishi with him?

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

I don’t dislike Boris as much as most, can’t say I like him much either but surely he needs to resign.

I'm not sure what it would take for Johnson to resign as PM, but if it happens then I doubt it'll be for lying.

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.

I concur. A man whose popularity with the British public soared while he was driving around the country in a big red bus with a blatant lie plastered all over it is unlikely to resign because he's a liar.

LoM will be along soon to say something along the lines of:

Yes, Boris is a wrong un but Ramsey McDonald or Aneurin Bevan was once charged with being drunk and disorderly so they are all as bad as one another.

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

They are utterly shameless. Of course they will not resign. This is what a UKIP government does for the country. Never trust millionaires who claim to be ‘for the people’.

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:

Yep. Of course they wont resign.

Shameless.

But they made the laws, broke the laws, said they didn't understand the laws, and denied any of the parties even happened!

If people start believing that laws mean nothing, think about where that ends. Today it's only cheese and wine, but what is it tomorrow?

What if the chancellor decides everyone else should pay tax except him?

Re: BreakTheLaw Boris

Overwhelming pressure from Conservative MP's will probably the only development that will force him to resign. He has no personal integrity and has a history of being a compulsive liar.

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?

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.
