Let's have another party?

Are you dismayed and angry at yet more and more disclosures of parties in Whitehall ( a number of then in no.10 and its gardens) at the height of the first lockdown?
A time when we were prohibited from seeing loved ones? denied meeting friends, limited in numbers attending funerals, when weddings were cancelled? We almost all to a man and woman stuck to the rules, whilst those who govern us thought themselves above the law.
So far it would seem that the police have been pressured not to investigate, the Met boss recently saying that they "don't investigate historic covid crimes" in the same week somebody was being prosecuted for doing just that.
It certainly looks to me that the elite imagine themselves above the law, and that cannot be right in any democracy...ever

The Tories have gone too far.
B. J.,  should resign with immediate effect after today's
P. M. Questions. 
The slimey, lying, ****.

There is going to be a lot of debate publicly around this issue.

Will be interesting to see where this goes today 

Seems a lot of new things coming out but why did 8t take so long to be leaked

Seems as though it was a hot topic at PMQs today: This is the latest piece from the BBC about the PM's apology.

MarkM88

@Ross_Scope I watched PMQs and it was very intense. 

Ross_Alumni

I can imagine it was @MarkM88, I can see this one rumbling on for a while

Libby_Alumni

Me too @Ross_Scope and @MarkM88 - it's appalling really!

A number of senior Tories are turning against Boris in public, if Sue Greys report goes against him he will either have to resign or his own MP's will dump him, however as someone who doesn't vote Tory I would rather he stayed as PM that way we can get rid of him at the 2024 election.

woodbine

Have to agree Mike (that will surprise you), some of the new laws are nothing short of shocking, therein I think lies part of Boris's problem many in his cabinet are rabid right wing conservatives with a capital C, and to be fair to Boris he seems to be an old fashioned one nation tory. I suspect much of what we know about these "partys" has been drip fed to the media by people inside the government who want rid of Boris, he won them an election he has dealt with covid (sometimes well sometimes not) now they want shut of him.
If they succeed in getting rid of him I shudder to think who might replace him.

On the question of Scotland I'm 95% certain that at some point in the next two years they will vote to leave the UK .

Ditto @poppy123456, I too missed seeing our Grandchild..who was born in May.😟

Libby_Alumni

That's wonderful news @poppy123456 . I hope you manage to get to spend some good quality time with your grandchild in August! 

woodbine

So what do people think? will he

resign
be replaced by another tory
or just carry on as though he's done nothing wrong ?

janer1967

He will attempt to carry on I think with his 0athetic excuse that he thought it was work event 

He will wait for the report at least hoping it clears him but the report could be even more damaging 

That's if he isn't forced out sooner public reaction is very strong and rightly so 

poppy123456

@Ross_Scope @Libby_Scope thank you both. 😁

Ookpik

Whatever you do. Make sure you don't invite Boris to the bash. He will ask everyone to bring their own booze to work thinking it was a party
