National News Boris Johnson - Ousted Former PM

[Peterdev]

You make a lot of valid points buddy but this is not one of them for obvious reasons

One of those reasons being it’s irrelevancy to the actual scandal

My point is the photographers might not have been social distancing either

Oh look....how surprising that JRM thinks the Mail are right (even if they are hopelessly out of touch with every other national newspaper this morning).

Can;t help but have a chuckle at the comments under his post. I particularly like....

"Excellent tweet. A moving show of loyalty. Reminds me of a communiqué of support Dönitz sent on 29 April 1945."

.... JRM is echoing many of 'Big Brother's 'control of the masses' perspectives, lifted wholesale from Orwell's 1984

I understand the point but not the relevance to the case in hand.

Looking likely the Gray report could be out tomorrow according to the commentators on Twitter. Make or break week for Johnson.

No chance.
They don`t work Fridays so it will be in the long grass for a while.
In the meantime, Andy`s philandering will fill the headlines and Vlads sabre rattling will take a role.

Slowly but surely the vote of no confidence is building up momentum in Westminster, the attempts to delay Gray is back firing as the whips are failing to control the back bencher's and there are inevitable splits in the cabinet's solidarity as they manoeuvre for position.
The real Tory's concern is moving to maintaining its reputation of a party of decency and how to deal with this going forward just as Labour have had to deal with Blair's legacy. The Tory party will not allow themselves to implode which was certainly the Labour party way.
Johnson knows he will be persona non grata in the Tory party once he loses the keys to number 10. The Tory party will ostracize him and whilst he will make millions from the book and lecturing circus, he will hate it.

This is why cheese, wine and cake absolutely matters.

It matters not if someone had cake in an office or not, the rules in hospitals and nursing homes would have been EXACTLY the same.
Those rules were in place to protect other patients, staff, visitors and the wider population.
No comparison just playing on emotions.

Yeah - you just go back to getting all het up about sweets changing their names.

I mean, those are the real important issues to divert your energy and ire towards....right?

Utterly baffling. It f*****g matters to the poor gentleman in the video who couldn't say goodbye to THREE loved ones in quick succession. It matters to me that he didn't get that oh so precious time. He physically couldn't do it because of rules made by Boris and his party - and they were partying what seems like on a weekly basis - not just pissing on the rules THEY MADE and the people THEY SERVE - but contributing to the spread of the pandemic they were supposed to be protecting us from.

Life is so short and so fleeting - every single second lost with loved ones, especially when it is the last seconds you may have, matters. It might not matter to you in your Tory bubble, but it damn well matters to the rest of who aren't heartless.

The hard of thinking missing the bloody obvious point again!

So let us say there was "no party - no cake" and there was 100% compliance.

Does that make it acceptable that the gentleman would still not have been able to say goodbye?

The rules would have been EXACTLY the same.

Fact - not heartless.

It would've still been incredibly sad but at least he wouldn't also be living with the betrayal of trust from the people that stopped him and the background thoughts of "well why did I bother when the people who made the rules didn't?". He's probably feeling an immeasurable amount of guilt for trusting the rules and not seeing his loved ones right before they died when the rulemakers laughed and partied - and it will be destroying the grieving process and stopping him from moving on and living his life.

I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there is one, imagine how disrespected and upset those who unfortunately passed from Covid will be feeling - knowing they died ALONE, scared and without hope while Boris munched on Colin the Caterpillar and got sloshed with his mates.

The fact you can't see how utterly wrong the whole situation is utterly blows my mind.

You can have a party but not a wake.
Essex I’m sure that you are not stupid but you are obtuse.

WTF are you on about?

It is completely heartless to not think the actions of those in Number 10 are a total insult to those who have made huge sacrifices, the bereaved who have not been able to mourn properly and the dead who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It shows all the empathy of a Great White Shark to not be able to see how millions of people have suffered across the UK. And all the while, No10 staffers were being encouraged to wheel in suitcases of booze, get bolloxed, f**k up Wilfreds garden swing and photocopy their arses. It is simply incredible that you are still trying to defend it and can see nothing wrong with it.

Yes the rules would be the same, yes the people would've died anyway. But this is about dignity and respect, probity, honesty, moral compass and putting others before yourself.

Values which are utterly lacking from this government and especially those at number 10.

Shame on them.

The fact that you are incapable of seeing the link.......or even admitting that they have screwed up.........
