It is so strange to be on the same side of people in this thread that I normally argue with on most off topic chat subjects.

Turns out she hasn't.

This Panorama is just a Johnson puff piece. Describes him as the most gifted politician in a generation and tries to paint him as the hero of Ukraine.

Healthy dose of 'but Labour' too.

Pathetic stuff.

I did all but beg the church official to allow this one, 31st person, but they refused. They were determined to stick to the rules that had been laid down.

I didn't think just one more would have made that much of a difference, but the church were very worried they would get into trouble.

I reckon Grays report and additional revelations could well lead to a no confidence vote (Johnson won’t resign). Could be an interesting few days

I'm convinced kuenssberg and Johnson have had a fling in the past, she talks like she wants to jump his bones. Flawed genius, most gifted politician of the last 40-50 years.

Then on the eve of Sue Grey report they decide they can do something.

I can’t work out if Johnson breaking the rules is down to:

Duffer
The Met
Durham Police
Thatcher
Sadiq Khan
PVA
Dominic Cummings
Kier Starmer
SBT

Can someone clear up if it’s any of these or just the prime minister continuing his lifetime of being a c**t who thinks rules don’t apply to him.

You missed off nurses having a hypothetical drink and bosses in open plan offices having a meeting.

Both are valid reasons for Johnson breaking the law. Apparently.

This is of course all jolly good fun but let’s be real for one second and not in the SBT playground

If say Johnson slashed income tax tomorrow and we rode out the crises and everyone was better off he could have had lap dancers on expenses at this “party” abs he’d win the next election. He could have lived like a monk during it and the county is a basket case and he will lose it

That’s real politics
Click to expand...
Johnson knowingly and delibrately broke rules he set because he doen't think rules apply to him and the country is a fucking basket case because of the way he's running it.

That's real politics.

Yet you're often talking about his large majority and how it will be nearly impossible for Labour to overcome that. Which kind of makes your argument a load of bollocks,

Well it is nearly impossible for an overall majority and I’ve said many times some northern seats will always be lost - strategically to secure them brexit doubts need to be raised regarding Starmer

If he broke the law he should face the consequences, the same as every one else, which is a fine as I understand it.
Are you going to force everyone in public office who attended these so called parties to resign? If so there wouldn't be many of the fuckers left. (possibly a good thing)
Meanwhile this sad debacle is now overshadowing every issue that now faces us, such as the increasing reliance on food banks, and the increasing numbers who can't heat their homes. Not to mention rapidly rising inflation, the imminent recession, and the ongoing war in Ukrain etc etc.
Click to expand...
And who is largely responsible for all of this?

Plus the difference is that he is supposed to be the main person in charge and the one ultimately responsible for setting the rules. If he then can't be arsed to keep to them then yes, in his instance it should be a resignation because he no longer has the moral authority to set the laws and people will be more likely to ignore them in future. In other words, not wanting him to resign is voting for anarchy.

fatso said:
Fucking grow up.

Do you honestly believe for one minute that they wernt all breaking the rules at some point, do you really believe that ALL the rules regarding burials etc wernt completely OTT. OF course they fucking were.
We can all agree that the gatherings the drinks and the takeaways were reprehensible, but we have given these muppets a mandate to run the country, and believe it or not, we have more fucking issues that need addressing.

If both party leaders resign, it won't change what happened, it will just change the names of those who you are screaming at to resign.
Click to expand...
I see you're falling for the rhetoric of saying they're all at it so don't trust any of them. The argument used by those doing the worst offending.

As for having 'more fucking issues that need addressing', as I said above who the fuck is mainly responsible for them? And doing absolutely fuck all to sort them out unless he or someone he knows gets something out of it?

I didn't say I was happy to tolerate the BS, I'm saying that's what happens, no amount of sabre rattling on here is going to change it.
Meanwhile, while you cry over yesterday's issue, the queue at the food bank gets longer. Maybe you have enough money to not be bothered by it. I'd sooner the cost of living crisis was the major headline.

There is a flip side to that. It’s clear the government don’t want to take “drastic” measures to help with the cost of living crisis. Just tonight the tune is changing. Why? They need a distraction from the drinks and birthday cake questions. Ironically them doing the wrong thing and people not shutting up about it may ultimately force them to do the right things regarding the cost of living crisis.

Well let's consider some of the things to have happened on the Met's watch

A strip search of a 15 year old black girl where she was forced to remove a sanitary towel
Sharing photos and selfies of murder scenes
Dismissing a black man's complaints of not being able to breathe as 'nonsense'
Various officers charged with sexual offences, in a number of cases committed over a period of years
Thousands of complaints over the misuse of stop and search
Trying to legally challenge a vigil over Sarah Everard who of course got murdered by a member of the Met

And above all, the acting replacement for Cressida Dick acknowledging that there is a wider problem in the force beyond some rogue characters. The £50 fine for certain people when others were fined £10,000 and booted out of university is the icing on the cake.

Perhaps those fined were there all night, got pissed up and needed a taxi home? Maybe they were the ones organsing it and ordering the pizza or popping round to bargin booze or whatever this lot get up to. I honestly don't know and if he's got off with it, maby he wasn't the party animal most people want him to be. IMHO the Met shouldn't divulge anything that doesn't legally need to be in the public domain, that's a violation of data protection and could break of the trust of those offering evidence. People moan about plod, but expect them to break the law when it suits. If Durham do/don't fine Sir K, that's their business.

No they weren't during lockdown. Just making the point that if he hasn't been fined, maybe he was asked to come in and make a speech for the person departing. Not sticking up for Boris at all but if just attending is against regs, Durham plod must make sure they fine Sir K too.

How many times has it been said that the regulations were different for Johson's and Starmer's incidents.

Of course if either had broken any of the regulations in place at the time they should resign. i just find it a bit suss that when saying not sticking up for Johnson you then immediately follow it by mentioning Starmer's possible breach (rather than Johnson's numerous possible breaches)
